How to Clean Shoes with Bleach?

Expert tip: You can use an emery board to buff stains out of suede in a pinch. If the suede is matted, brush in the up direction to lift the fibers and the stain. Read more tips for cleaning suede shoes.

Keeping your shoes squeaky clean doesn’t have to be a big chore. Most of what you need to remove dirt and stains from shoes is already in your cleaning closet. If you’re going to invest in any new cleaners, prioritize protection. “When you apply a protection cream or conditioner to shoes it prevents stains, cuts down on cleaning time and helps them last longer,” says Carolyn Forté, executive director of the Good Housekeeping Institute Home Care and Cleaning Lab. Create a simple solution of washing-up liquid and warm water, before dunking in your laces and leaving them to soak for 10-20 minutes.

Let the paste dry – it shouldn’t take too long – then wipe off with a soft cloth. For more stubborn stains, you can double-scrub after the shoe dries or use a bleach pen, then wash off with soapy water.

Remove stubborn spots with alcohol. For resistant marks, dab with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol, then wipe away with an absorbent cloth. No, it is not recommended to soak shoes in bleach for one night. On the other hand, you dry them for one night after taking your shoes out from the bleach solution. Final Thoughts Washing detergent or dishwashing soap – Though we’ve mentioned these earlier for all-over cleaning, they’re also a saviour for grease stains. Dab on some uncoloured dish soap or laundry detergent and leave for 15 minutes. Rub the stain gently with a clean, damp cloth and wipe away any remaining soap.It’s best to clean any shoes by hand, especially if they’re new. If you’re tight on time and want to refresh an old pair, you can try cleaning canvas sneakers in the washing machine but note they may shrink or lose their shape. Place them first in a mesh bag and add a few old towels to balance and buffer the load. Choose a delicate cycle with cold or warm water and a low or moderate spin speed. Stuff with paper towels to air dry away from heat and sunlight. How do you clean the insoles of shoes? Clean rubber outsoles with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Wet the melamine sponge, squeeze out the excess water and rub on the outsole until they are spotless. Wash with soapy water and a soft brush. Mix a few drops of dish soap into a cup of warm water. Dip a cloth or soft brush into the soapy water and gently go over both shoes.
