First, gather your materials. You will need a sink, a towel, a small brush, some laundry detergent, and a pair of rubber gloves. Fill the sink with warm water and add a few drops of laundry detergent. Submerge your shoes in the water and swish them around gently. Use the brush to scrub away any dirt or debris.

Before you start washing your shoes, make sure to remove any laces or anything else that can be removed and washed separately. Once you have everything removed, submerge your shoes in the soapy water and let them soak for a few minutes.

After a few minutes have passed, take a soft brush and gently scrub the shoes all over, paying extra attention to any areas that are especially dirty. Once you’re done scrubbing, rinse the shoes thoroughly with clean water.

Once the shoes are rinsed, stuff them with newspaper or something similar so they keep their shape and let them air dry in a cool, dry place.

Use the small brush to scrub away any dirt or debris from the shoes.

If your shoes are only mildly dirty, you can clean them with just water and a little bit of elbow grease. Fill a basin with cool water and add a drop of dish soap.

For tougher stains, mix one part distilled white vinegar with two parts water. Apply the mixture to the stain with a cloth or brush, and then scrub away. Rinse the shoe with clean water once you’re done.

If you need to wash your shoes in the washing machine, put them in a mesh bag or pillowcase to protect them from damage. Set your machine to a delicate cycle using cool water, and add a gentle detergent. Let your shoes air dry after the cycle is finished.

Swish your shoes around in the soapy water and then let them soak for about 15 minutes. This will give the detergent time to work its way into the fabric and loosen any dirt or stains.

After 15 minutes, use your hands to scrub the shoes lightly all over. A soft-bristled brush can also be used on stubborn areas. Rinse the soap off with clean, cold water.
