How do you get diesel off leather shoes?

1. Blot up the spill immediately. Don't rub it, as this can spread the diesel and make it harder to remove.

2. Apply a degreaser to the stain. There are many different degreasers available, so choose one that is safe for use on leather. Some common degreasers include dish soap, laundry detergent, and rubbing alcohol.

3. Work the degreaser into the stain with a soft cloth. Be sure to work in small circles and don't press too hard, as this can damage the leather.

4. Rinse the degreaser off with water. Be sure to rinse thoroughly, as any remaining degreaser can leave behind a residue.

5. Dry the leather with a clean cloth. Allow the leather to dry completely before wearing your shoes again.

Here are some additional tips for removing diesel stains from leather shoes:

* If the stain is old or has already dried, you may need to soak your shoes in a degreaser solution before attempting to remove the stain.

* If the stain is particularly stubborn, you may need to repeat the cleaning process several times.

* Be sure to test any cleaning solution on a small area of your shoes before using it on the entire shoe. This will help you to ensure that the solution does not damage the leather.
