I was very upset about my gorgeous leather boots ending up with a solid drop of diesel on them. The corn starch removed it brilliantly. I couldn't get the friction strong enough to get warm, so I just rubbed the spot thouroughly and solidly about 5 times for about a minute each time, using clean corn starch each time and brushing the starch off with a soft clean dry brush between each time.
It worked a treat :)

sorry but there is no way to remove bleach stains. reason is that bleach causes decoloration and not a stain.
Be more careful with salt. If they are leather use spray silicone sealer
Keeps them from absorbing water so you are not stuck with permanent stains like scotchguard.
use a product called liqui-nox to get it out....this product helps to decontaminate things.
Cleaning and polishing men’s shoes has been around since shoes were invented. Polishing leather shoes not only makes the shoes look good but it protects the build and quality. Untreated leathers drastically reduce the lifespan of the shoe, allowing the leather to dry out, crack and eventually fall apart. Follow these steps to keep men’s leather shoes looking good for years to come. ▪ Step 1: Know how often you should clean and polish leather shoes. Consider the amount of times these leather shoes are worn and adjust polishing accordingly. Generally, to preserve the life, quality leather shoes should be polished once a month. If leather shoes are worn often, they should be polished more often. Leather shoes should be cleaned before every polish to rid the leather of dirt and debris. ▪ Step 2: Decide on what type of cleaning will be needed. Cleaning the leather well with reduce scuffs or stains prior to polishing. Use a combination of 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 1 cup hot water to remove water stains from leather by dabbing the stain and allow to air dry. For deeper cleanings of dirt and debris use a shoe brush. Use leather cleaner or saddle soap and a soft cloth to clean the shoes. ▪ Step 3: Condition the leather. To soften the leather on shoes, use a leather conditioner. If there are still noticeable imperfections, use a conditioner with a shaded color just slightly lighter than the color of the shoe. ▪ Step 4: Use the right polish. For smooth leather’s, waxes, creams and pastes polishes are all successful. Polish is applied in a circular motion. Pay special attention to imperfections and stitching areas. ▪ Step 5: Waterproof the leather shoes. Using a leather shoe waterproofing spray product, spray a light film over the entire shoe to finalize the clean and protect process. Allow the leather shoes to air dry before wearing. Leather shoes don’t have to end up looking awful over time. Clean and condition the leather to eliminate or, at the very least, reduce, stains, dirt and debris from your favorite pair of shoes. Protect your quality leather shoes with polish and waterproofing to lengthen their lifespan and keep the leather in pristine condition.
Your best bet is to remove all the visible mold from the shoes with a brush or towel. Once you've gotten all the mold you can off your leather shoes, try cleaning them with Tea Tree Oil and setting them out in the sun to fully dry and lose their smell. After they are dry you should wax your shoes to protect the leather and keep the mold from coming back.
