How Do You Clean Shoe Polish Stains From Vinyl Floors?
Shoe polish can bring shoes and sneakers back to life, but when the polish gets onto other items it can be a nightmare. Shoe polish has a tendency to adhere to whatever surface it is put on. When it is wet it smears badly, making the removal harder. When it’s dry it can be difficult to pull up without damaging the floor. Moisten a cotton ball with nail polish remover. Rub the cotton ball over the shoe polish mark. Continuously switch out the cotton balls for a new one as they get dirty and blackened until the stain is lifted from the floor. Dampen a washcloth with plain water and go over the area you’ve just removed the polish from with the cotton balls. The cloth will pull up any remaining bits. Take a vinyl safe floor cleaner and dilute it with water according to the manufacturer’s directions. You may use any floor cleaner. A spray type works just as well too. Mop the floor to remove any remnants of the polish and acetone. Let the floor dry and it should look good as new.
