    Expert Answer
    To clean stains from leather, create a solution of lukewarm water and mild soap, such as baby soap. Dampen a soft cloth with this solution and gently rub it across the surface of the stain. Then, wipe it dry with a dry cloth and repeat the process if necessary.

    How do I remove yellow ladybug stains from cloth window shades?
    Community Answer
    Use some Dove soap and keep scrubbing it, making sure to also rub the cloth together. Afterwards, use some conditioner before scrubbing again. Scrub for about another two minutes, then use a damp cloth to wipe the soap marks.
