    Im 45 and was poor in south jersey so i always cleaned people shoes for like $5 pair and they would drop them at my window. Don't just let them sit out to dry because sometimes you can get water stains. You put them in a washer on just spin and you can do it 2 to 3 times and theyll be dry within the hour and regardless def no water stains. Don't do rinse and spin you just do the spin without the laces and they wont get damaged because theyll spin so fast that its gnna be stuck on the wall while it circles. I used to put balled up socks inside them for the shape and id throw a couple clean white towels so it would absorb some of the water coming off your shoe. Def try this because drying them this way will make the process night and day and within n hr you could be wearing them.

  • @Shreadington
    @Shreadington 3 года назад +11

    Great tips! However, I'll throw my canvas shoes and gym shoes into my HE washer on delicate cycle, with detergent, 1 cup white vinegar, and 3-4 towels using cold water, then air dry. They come out looking brand new.
    For my leather sneakers I'll clean them using a micro soft rag with warm water, light dish soap, then leather cleaner. Once dry I'll use a Magic Eraser. They look new after. I'll typically have to do this twice a year with each pair I wear the most. Works perfect for the wear my shoes get.

    When you have brushed away all the last dirt on white sneakers, you take a lemon, divide it in the middle and rub the open cut against the shoe and squeeze some lemon juice over the shoe while you rub. Then let the shoe stand in the sun and let the sun take care of the rest, as the sun bleaches the lemon juice on the shoe. So it must be real lemon. On white sneakers that may have stains or more severe dirt, you can actually apply toothpaste and rub into the dirt / stain. Then rinse in running hot water.

      You can get them in white, and they do a really nice job on pretty much any leather goods. even on getting salt stains out of suede boots in the winter.

    If you have canvas shoes (or any white shoe honestly), use detergent and a brush to clean and then cover the shoe with toilet paper.
    Leave it out to dry and boom it’ll be new shoe white.
    Whenever I cleaned mine and didn’t wrap it in toilet paper, the shoes would be this cream color after it dried.
    Give it a try and share the results!

      Just on the off chance That you’re still working a good solution out, my best suggestion would be to consider checking with the company that made your sneakers for the care instructions. There are a lot of companies making leather-like fabrics for use instead of leather, And they may be made of anything from cacti to synthetics to any number of other things.
      So it might be important to figure out exactly what you’re dealing with, before you can safely and confidently have a go with cleaning it.
