Tahoe interior door shoe stain removal.

[Ktw13]

Occasionally when I can not get the door to open wide enough, shoe rubber would scrape the Tahoe colour themed door pocket and leaving a faint mark.

Is there any gentle cleaner or colour matched leather polish I can use to clean or cover the stain?

I'll let you in on a little secret closely guarded by Big Soap...
Most cleaners out there are just soap and water in a different colored bottle.
A damp microfiber and a single drop of dish soap will clean that just fine. A shoe mark is just dirt held on by oils picked up from roads/sidewalks. The surfactant in dish soap bonds the oils to the water in your cloth and frees the dirt. Lightly apply any no-color leather conditioner on leather afterwards to replace the natural oils lifted out by the soap.

That’s detergent, not soap, but I digress and your point stands haha

Yes doc, soap is detergent but not all detergent is soap. Somehow some of us call dish soap dish soap even though it isn't

While this is totally car unrelated, I had some black marks on my grey running shoe toe areas (maybe from brushing against car tires so possibly related) I've been unsuccessful in removing/making look better. Never thought to try dish soap (in my case Dawn). Tried after your post and It worked! They are gone. Thanks!

I use Chemical Guys leather cleaner with a microfiber cloth on my vehicles' interiors. Works great, even on lightly stained carpet - I curse Santa Cruz tan carpets!!! You should also periodically clean your steering wheel. You'll be amazed how much dirt / gunk comes off!!
