How do I get my daughter's shoes clean?

She has white canvas shoes (like Keds) that are getting pretty dirty. I've heard I can wash them in the washing machine - is there anything special I need to do?

How do I get my daughter's shoes clean?
they do wash well in the washer, but make sure you wipe off all the dirt and or grass first. I would suggest adding old towels/rags to the washer to make sure they don't bump around too much and get scratched. And let them air dry!


You can also use a rag and or old toothbrush with some moistened baking soda and scrub them good!
Reply:either get some wightening washing powder or you could just get some bleach on a bit of toilet tissue and wipe it and dab that got the dirt of my trainers
Reply:Yes, wash them, but do not put in dryer- bad for dryer %26amp; will shrink- it may work with pillows though-just don`t let them get too dry-damp might keep them from shrinking
Reply:Spray a little Shout on them and wash them . Best advice I can give is don't put them in the dryer if you can avoid it.
Reply:yes you can wash them in the washing machine with just a little bit of bleach, not alot cause it will turn them yellow, and maybe some shout or spray n wash but Oxy clean is a good one too. and then you can put them in the dryer on low tumble or on a vent. good luck
Reply:just put those bad boys in some hot water and bleach!
Reply:take the laces out but toss them in the machine too with the shoes with like colors, (whites)....add regular detergent and add bleach to get them really white...and wash like normal. You can throw them in the dryer too...I always do, it has never hurt anything.





in fact it a great time to wash pillows with it...because when they are in the dryer...the shoes will dry with them...and in turn, beat the pillows and fluff them up nice and fluffy.
Reply:Before washing them in the machine, pull the laces out and replace them with a fresh pair, or hand wash them. When I was a teen, we'd wash them in the machine and then use white shoe polish over the canvas.
Reply:Several people gave good advice for washing in the machine. You can dry them in the dryer, too. First stuff them with clean dry socks.... Do not over dry.!!!!!
Reply:Nothing special, just toss them in......i would let them air dry though. If there are a lot of dirt or stains, you might want to spray with a pretreatment like Spray n Wash.
Reply:im only 17 but im a cheerleader and my coach is always nagging us to keep our shoes clean...and the best way i think is to scrub em with toilet cleaner (gel kind) or with toothpaste.
