3. Rinse the dish soap off with water.
4. Sprinkle baking soda over the stain and let it sit for 15 minutes.
5. Add a few drops of hydrogen peroxide to the baking soda and let it sit for another 15 minutes.
6. Rinse the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide off with water.
7. Scrub the stain with an old toothbrush until it is removed.

Tips:
-To prevent motor oil stains from setting, treat them as soon as possible.
-If the stain is on suede or leather shoes, test the cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire shoe.
-Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can damage your shoes.
