Method2Cleaning with Bleach
Method2
1Dilute 1 part of bleach with 5 parts water. Work in a well-ventilated area in your home, and mix the bleach and water in a small container. Be careful not to use more bleach or else it could give your white shoes a yellow tinge.[7]Bleach works best for white fabric shoes.
Wear nitrile gloves while working with bleach to prevent any skin irritation.
2Work a toothbrush in small circles to loosen stains. Dip the toothbrush in your bleach solution and start scrubbing your shoes. Focus on soiled areas and deep stains, applying slight pressure to the fabric. You should notice the stains lift out of the fabric.[8]Start with your shoes’ fabric before moving onto harder surfaces, like the soles.
3Wipe the bleach solution off your shoes with a damp towel. Wet a soft microfiber towel in clean warm water and wring it out until it’s damp. Apply gentle pressure as you wipe the towel over your shoes.[9]You can also remove the insoles from your shoes and run your shoes under the faucet.
4Let the shoes dry in a well-ventilated area. Leave your shoes in the room to dry for at least 5-6 hours before you plan on wearing them again. Try to let them dry overnight if you can to dry completely.[10]Put a fan in front of your shoes to speed up the drying process.
