Shoe Polish
Remove shoe polish from wood: The polish works into the grain of the wood and will be impossible to completely remove. Always put plastic down when working with shoe polish. First try blotting the polish with rubbing alcohol. Wait 15 minutes and blot to remove.
Next try a bit of turpentine. If the polish remains it has soaked into the grain and the wood must be sanded and refinished if it has not penetrated too deeply to treat. After working with wood always recondition your wood with Mary's Wood Care a Cleaner and Conditioner to help restore the wood.
Fabric: Try using rubbing alcohol. Apply wait 30 minutes rinse with sudsy water then vinegar and water.
