Method 2 of 3: Fast cleaning for Vans shoes

1. 

   Remove dirt from the outside of the shoe. If your Vans shoes are very dirty and you want to clean your shoes then take them outside and shake them where you can shake to remove dirt.
   • If the shoes are muddy, let them dry completely before cleaning them. This way you will clear the mud more easily.
   • Use a soft shoe brush or toothbrush to remove dirt from the shoes. Clap the sole of the shoes together to allow the dirt to fall off.

2. 

   
   
   Take a medium or large soft brush and dip it in soapy water. One hand holds the shoe, the other hand brings the brush back and forth to rub the surface of the shoe.
   • If the shoe is quite dirty, you can quickly dip the surface of the shoe in water and rub it vigorously to clean the sole.

3. 

   Dry the shoes. Put the wet shoes on a clean white towel and wrap each shoe in the towel. Squeeze any excess water in your shoes after you've wrapped the towel. Repeat for the other shoe.
   • Let shoes air dry. If your shoes are white, you can expose them to direct sunlight for a mildly bleached shoe.
   • Stick a handkerchief or white tissue into your shoes to absorb the water. This prevents the shoe from flattening and prevents dark lines on the toes from appearing as it bends as you step.

   Use this method only with canvas or synthetic shoes. Vans has a wide variety of shoes in different materials, including leather - the material breaks down when you get it wet. See the shoe label information to determine if your shoe is made of canvas or other synthetic material.
   • If you have leather or imitation leather Vans shoes, you should clean them in the same way that you would normally use other leather shoes. You should not immerse your shoes in water or use detergent to clean them.

2. 

   
   
   Pretreatment stains on shoes with specialized products. If you have stepped on a lot of mud or oil / fat on your shoes, you can choose to use an enamel stain remover or another commercially available product to remove the stain before washing your shoes. Apply the product to the shoes according to the product's instructions and let stand while you adjust the washing machine.

3. 

   Run the washing machine in the light wash mode with cold water. If possible, use the lightest setting and the coldest water to keep shoes and washing machines safe. Shocking shoes on the washing machine is not recommended, but if done correctly, there should be no problems.

4. 

   Put the Vans shoes in the pillow pocket. Many people worry that the glue and seam of Vans shoes will be peeling off when put in the washing machine. If you leave your shoes in a pillow bag and wash with some items such as a dirty towel or carpet, here's how to add a cushion to keep the shoe from hitting the machine. This way, your Vans shoes will not be affected.
   • You should only clean your shoes with a washing machine every six months so you don't damage them.
   • If you are concerned about shoe insoles it is best to take them out and put them in shoes after washing or replacing with new insoles.

5. 

   Take half the amount of detergent you normally use. Choose to use mild detergent for washing machines and hand washers and put shoes in pillow bags and other items.
   • To reduce the time you soak your shoes, wait until the water is halfway full if you are using a top load washer. This way the shoe will be cleaned without the need to soak in water for too long.

6. 

   Air dry your Vans shoes after washing the machine. Do not dry the shoes as this will dry the canvas and the sole and cause the seam to crack. Also, this will damage the dryer.
   • If you want Vans shoes to dry quickly without worrying about them getting crumpled, put them in the dryer with a few towels to reduce impact.
