    Clean with a dry brush. Before you wash your shoes, you should remove any large chunks of dirt and grime. Use an old toothbrush or dry scrub brush. Rub the dry brush over any problem spots to remove excess dirt and grime.[1]

    Mix warm water with laundry detergent. Fill up your sink with water that is warm, but not hot. Then mix in a small amount of laundry detergent.

    Remove the insoles and laces. Laces and insoles need to be cleaned separately. Remove them from the shoe and place them to the side.

    Wet a sponge. Alternatively, you can use a soft towel or a soft bush. Be sure that the sponge has absorbed sufficient soap and water before squeezing out excess moisture. Use the solution to scrub out problematic stains.

    • An old toothbrush can be handy for scrubbing around the tongue and in other hard-to-reach spots.[2]

    • Try not to wet parts of the shoe made of leather or foam. You could research specific cleaning instructions for your shoe through the manufacturer. If in doubt, avoid getting moisture on any surface that is already clean.[3]

    Wet a sponge with clean water to remove soap. After you have removed stains, dunk a second sponge or cloth in warm water without soap. Rub the shoe to remove all excess soap.

    Allow to air dry. Do not place shoes in the drier. Leave them out in room temperature. Allow them to dry naturally.
