How do I clean my shoes?

Question

I have a black and white pair of slip-on vans (they are canvas) and they are very dirty with a red pollen type dust and some dirt and stuff and I would just like to know how to clean them, every website that I go to says lemon juice, but I don't want to mess up the black part of the shoes and I don't think that just soapy water will do the trick. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

cold water...gentle cycle. DO NOT put them in the dryer though. my husband wears the same shoes. this is what i do to clean them. works like a charm.

Answer 2

It sounds like the shoes are already messed up with the red pollen so you have nothing to lose by sticking them into the washer on a cold water cycle to prevent the bleeding of colors.

Answer 3

Save up 50 bucks and go buy another pair. Simple as that.
