I have a nice new expensive pair of shoes to accomodate a problem with my foot. I wear them everywhere, so I'd like to keep them nice. I don't want to put them in the washer, but would prefer a spray-on wipe-off product. Do any of you know what would work, and do you have any favorite methods or products?

What are they made of?
|
i put our sneakers in the washer machine, Air dry.
|
Use the "Awesome" cleaner that everyone has been talking about! You get it at the Dollar store!
|
I use Magic Erasers on leather tennis shoes and on the toe caps of "retro" Converse high tops.
|
you could call your local shoe store, and ask them. God bless. Penny

You might practice with an older pair of shoes to get the hang of it before you do your new ones.
Take them to the sink with an old toothbrush or fingernail brush. Start with a soft bristle brush, go to a hard bristle later if you need to. Use any liquid soap. With your sink sprayer get the shoe wet (we are just talking outside, not inside.). Put the liquid soap on the shoe and rub with the brush. You might start with just a cloth on the shoe but use the brush on the sole and band between the shoe and the sole. Scrub a bit, rinse, scrub, rinse. The soap will continue to loosen the dirt and you rinse it away. Don't scrub hard at all on the shoe, it can go to deep into the shoe. I wear white reeboks. |
Most shoe stores carry cleaners/conditioner for leather shoes.

Generally I put mine in the washer and let air dry. If they have fabric on them I use a bit of Spray N Wash. They come looking like new. When I worked in a Drs office I used to use bathroom cleaner like Scrubbing Bubbles and then white shoe polish. The polish was from a shoe store and rather expensive but did the job. I like the washer because it gets rid of any odor from sweaty feet.

Spray starch. Spray shoes until completely wet with starch. Let dry. Do this after each wash and the shoes are dry.
Dirt will come out along with the starch when washed. Air drying leaves shoes with a clean smell. |
