Clean white shoes?

Question

What is the best way to clean white running shoes

Answer 1

It's best if you clean them after each wear...normally a damp cloth and a mild detergent will do.

Prepare a solution of water and a neutral cleaner (such as liquid dish-washing detergent or another mild product).

2. Remove laces and inserts and rinse the shoes with water inside and out.

3. Use a soft brush and the cleaning solution to scrub every part of both shoes, including liners and insoles.

4. Remove scuff marks with a white nylon-backed scrub pad.

5. Rinse the shoes thoroughly with water.

6. Stuff the shoes with paper (not newspaper'the ink will run and make a mess) to absorb excess water and to help the shoes keep their shape. Allow them to drip-dry.

7. Wash the laces in a load of laundry. Allow the inserts to air out, and apply baking soda to them if they're smelly.

8. Replace the inserts and laces after the shoes dry completely.

9. Apply white cream shoe polish to white leather parts and black polish to black leather parts.

Tips:
Many athletic-shoe retailers sell special shoe-cleaning kits for use with specific brands and models.

Clorox by eHow Friend
Take the laces out of the shoes, grab an old toothbrush, take the bleach and pour in a cup, mix with a little bit of water. If that don't work, try Magic Eraser, that works on everything....

Answer 2

Start with soap and water, scrub and clean off with clean towel. if dirt and stain still visible then depending on the texture of shoe you can use magic eraser pads with water those work great. I that still doesn't have it looking pristine i would suggest using bleach or clorox and should do the job.
