Cleaning the dirty shoes

If you love your shoes, it means cleaning your shoes with care. Because shoes are made of various materials, consider the best cleaning methods for your particular pair of shoes. For instance, canvas tennis shoes are not cleaned the same way as suede shoes.

Equipment:

  • Shoes brush or toothbrush
  • Liquid dish-washing soap
  • Baking soda
  • Wet Towel

1. Notice the material of the shoes. Canvas shoes or tennis shoes can be cleaned in a washing machine. But suede, fabric, genuine leather and man-made leather can not be suited for the washing machine.

2. Test how your shoe will react to cleaning products. Gently scrub the shoes with a wet wash cloth and dish washing liquid. Let the shoes air dry. If the test spot reveals damage, then the shoes are not suitable for the washer.

3. Mix dish soap and baking soda to create a paste. The paste will remain better to the shoe; it allows the paste to soak the shoes.

4. Apply the paste to the shoes. Allow the paste to set for five to ten minutes.

5. Use a brush to brush the shoes with the paste help. A toothbrush is also effective at removing dirt and dust.

7. Clean the paste with the wet towel or used napkin.

8. Let the shoes dry.
