How To Wash White Tennis Shoes?
Contents
A step by step guide on how to wash white tennis shoes using common household products.
Introduction
Assuming your white tennis shoes are made of a sturdy fabric, like canvas, you can machine wash them using a gentle cycle and cool water. Add in a small amount of mild detergent, such as Woolite, and allow the shoes to air dry afterwards. If your shoes have any decorative features, like laces or labels, it’s best to hand wash them instead.
Materials
-2 tablespoons baking soda
-1/2 cup white vinegar
-1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide
-1 quart warm water
– Old toothbrush
Steps
You will need:
-1 cup of baking soda
-1/2 cup of laundry detergent
-1/2 cup of vinegar
-1 gallon of hot water
Instructions:
1. Remove the laces from your shoes and set them aside.
2. In a large bowl or bucket, mix together the baking soda, laundry detergent, and vinegar.
3. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and thoroughly saturate your shoes. Allow them to sit for 30 minutes.
4. Fill a tub or sink with hot water and submerge your shoes. Let them soak for 10 minutes then scrub with a soft brush to remove any remaining dirt or grime.
5. Rinse your shoes thoroughly then stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and speed up the drying process. Set them in a well-ventilated area and allow them to air dry overnight
Conclusion
Washing white tennis shoes is easy if you follow these simple tips. You will need to gather some supplies before you start, including a toothbrush, laundry detergent, and a clean cloth. Once you have everything you need, pre-treat any tough stains on your shoes with the detergent. Then, put your shoes in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water. Once the cycle is finished, remove your shoes and let them air dry. You can also put them in the dryer on a low setting if you need to speed up the drying process.
