You do not have to use expensive commercial products to remove the stain; common products found in most homes are effective in removing the stubborn ink from the canvas.
Things You Will Need
-
Spritz a cotton ball thoroughly with hair spray until it is wet. This is safe for colored or white canvas shoes.
-
Rub the stained area with the cotton ball in a circular motion until most of the stain is gone. You may have to switch sides of the cotton ball or use another one before the stain is removed.
-
Wash the canvas shoes (if they are machine wash safe) in the washing machine, according to the care label instructions. If they are not washable, use a damp white cloth to remove the hair spray residue from the shoe.
-
Use chlorine or color safe bleach if the care label says it is acceptable.
-
Allow the shoes to air dry.
