Techniques to identify paint type Spot test: – Spoon a tiny bit of water onto a discrete section of the shoe. – Gently rub the wet area; if the paint smears or disappears, it is probably water-based. Use of solvents: 1. Put a tiny bit of acetone or rubbing alcohol on an area of the shoe that is not visible.

Colorfastness test: to make sure the shoe’s color won’t bleed or fade after cleaning, conduct a colorfastness test in a discrete area using a light cleaner or solvent. Documentation: before beginning the removal procedure, take pictures of the paint stains for future reference and comparison once cleaning is finished.

Covering shoes during painting activities: using protective shoe covers, an old cloth, or plastic wrap to cover your shoes while painting projects or in areas where wet paint may splatter is a good idea.

Use shoe bags or boxes: to keep shoes safe from exposure and dust put them in shoe boxes with discrete compartments or in breathable fabric bags. Elevate storage: to keep shoes away from dampness and grime, place them on a shelf or rack that is higher than the floor. Climate consideration: avoid keeping shoes in extremely high or low temperatures since these can eventually harm the leather.
