A step by step guide on how to clean your white tennis shoes mesh to keep them looking new.

Materials

Gather your materials. You will need a toothbrush, laundry detergent, a small bowl, water and a towel. Fill the bowl with water and laundry detergent.

White Tennis Shoes

Most tennis shoes are white. However, over time they can develop dirt and stains. They can also become yellowed or dingy. Cleaning your white tennis shoes regularly will help them look their best and last longer.

There are a few different ways that you can clean your white tennis shoes. One way is to use a toothbrush and some soap. Another way is to use a magic eraser. You can also use bleach on your shoes.

To clean your white tennis shoes with a toothbrush and soap, start by wetting the shoes with some water. Next, add some soap to the toothbrush and scrub the shoes in small circles. Be sure to scrub the tongue of the shoe and the laces as well. Once you have scrubbed the shoes, rinse them off with some water. Let them air dry or use a towel to dry them off.

To clean your white tennis shoes with a magic eraser, start by wetting the eraser with some water. Next, rub the eraser over the dirty areas of the shoe in small circles until the dirt comes off. Once you have cleaned the shoes, rinse them off with some water and let them air dry or use a towel to dry them off.

If your white tennis shoes are really dirty or yellowed, you can use bleach on them. To do this, start by mixing equal parts water and bleach in a bowl. Next, dip a cloth into the mixture and wipe down the entire shoe, including the tongue and laces. Once you have finished, rinse the shoes off with some clean water and let them air dry or use a towel to dry them off

Toothbrush

An old toothbrush is one of the best ways to clean the dirty spots on your shoes. Get an old toothbrush (or a new one if you don’t mind sacrificing it) and wet it with some soapy water. Then, start scrubbing away at the dirt and stains on your shoes. The toothbrush will help to loosen and remove the dirt without damaging the material of your shoes.

Washing machine

Toss your shoes in the washing machine. Use a mild laundry detergent and select the delicate or hand-wash cycle. If your shoes are extra dirty, add 1/2 cup of baking soda to the laundry detergent. Place shoes in a mesh laundry bag to protect them from getting tangled with other clothes or getting damaged in the wash.

Steps

Assuming your shoes are already white, you will need the following items:

Fill a sink or bucket with cool water and add a small amount of mild laundry detergent

Fill a sink or bucket with cool water and add a small amount of mild laundry detergent. Submerge the shoes in the soapy water and swish them around gently to loosen any dirt or grime. Use a clean toothbrush to scrub away any stubborn stains. Rinse the shoes thoroughly in cool water to remove all traces of soap.

Submerge shoes and brush lightly with a toothbrush

If your shoes are really dirty, start by submerging them in a sink or bucket of warm water. Then, use an old toothbrush to spot clean any areas that are particularly dirty. Be sure to brush lightly so you don’t damage the mesh on your shoes.

Rinse shoes thoroughly with cool water

Rinse your shoes in cool water to remove any dirt or debris. Be sure to rinse them inside and out, paying special attention to the soles of the shoes. If your shoes are extremely dirty, you may want to scrub them with a soft-bristled brush before rinsing.

Place shoes in the washing machine

For best results, start by putting your shoes in the washing machine by themselves. This will help prevent them from bouncing around too much and getting damaged. Set the machine to a delicate cycle with cold water and add a mild detergent. You can also add a fabric softener to the load if you like.

Set the washing machine to the delicate cycle and cool water

If your shoes are extra dirty, you can pre-treat them by scrubbing the stains with a toothbrush and laundry detergent. Be sure to rinse the shoes thoroughly afterwards.

Next, set your washing machine to the delicate cycle and cool water. You can also hand wash your shoes if you prefer.

Once the cycle is finished, remove your shoes and air dry them or put them in the dryer on a low heat setting.

Remove shoes from the washing machine and air dry

Once the cycle is complete, open the lid and remove your shoes. Let them air dry completely before wearing or putting them away.
