If you think about the upper, the stain remover is more polite, but the good thing about Dr. Martens is that it doesn't change even if you don't care for it.
If you want to remove stains properly, use nail polish remover. It would be nice if it became light and beautiful, but if that's the case, a stain remover might be fine. Zippo oil removes stains, but nail polish remover is stronger.

How to clean with Dr. Martens nail polish remover, maintenance
Towels, gauze, anything is fine. I use kimwipes. It is better not to use a tissue because it will be full of crumbs when rubbed.
Repeat several drops of nail polish remover and rub. Do not apply nail polish remover directly to Dr. Martens. Paint peels off.

If you are unsure, apply nail polish remover to an inconspicuous place and check before doing it.
