Warning

You can use the same method to clean the inside of the shoe.
If you want to clean the laces, pour some detergent into another bowl and soak the laces in it. Once the shoes have been cleaned, remove the laces and rinse them with warm water.

Clean the rubber with a toothbrush or a small brush. Dirt can get on the rubber part of Vans shoes, so you'll need a stiffer object instead of using a towel to remove the stain. Dip an old toothbrush in the cleaning solution and use it to scrub the sides of the sole and all the rubber parts of the shoe.

If you don't have a toothbrush, use the rough surface on the dishwashing sponge or a small brush.
If the rubber part of the shoe is not dirty, you can wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove the scratches and streaks.

Wipe shoes one more time with wet towel. Use a towel to wipe away any dirt or soap left on the shoe. When finished, double-check that you like the color of the shoe. If you find areas where the cleaning solution cannot be cleaned, you will need to use a stain removal method.

Put shoes and other parts in the laundry bag. Using a washing bag will protect your shoes and washing machine from strong impacts when they rotate. Be sure to tie the laundry bag tightly so that everything does not fall off during washing.

Set the washing machine to gentle wash with warm water. This will effectively clean the shoe without damaging the shoe. Don't use hot water, no matter how dirty your shoes are. Hot water will melt the glue.

Remember to add a little detergent as you would wash clothes.
Do not wash shoes with other clothes, especially thin clothes. Shoes will damage clothes.

Use a magic eraser or stain remover. The magic eraser foam contains detergent that effectively cleans stains on white Vans shoes, including mud stains and grass stains. You can also use it to remove scratches on the sole. Use a magic eraser or a stain remover according to the product's instructions.

Use rubbing alcohol. This is an effective cleaner for scratches, ink stains and other small stains. Dip a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and apply it to the stained area. Gently rub off the stain with a cotton ball. Rub continuously until the stain is gone.

You can also use nail polish remover to remove scratches and ink stains.
If your Vans shoes get stained with paint, dab some paint thinner on them.

Use baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Water, baking soda and hydrogen peroxide make a white shoe cleansing mix. If you don't have hydrogen peroxide at home, use a mixture of baking soda and water. Here's how to do it:

Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1/2 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide and 1/2 teaspoon of warm water.
Use a toothbrush or toothbrush dipped in the baking soda mixture and scrub away the stain.
Leave the baking soda mixture on your shoes for at least 30 minutes until it dries.
When the baking soda mixture dries, wash your shoes with clean water. Repeat this until the shoe is cleaned.

Use lemon juice. This is a home remedy that can be effective at removing stains. Mix 1 part lemon juice with 1 part water. Use a sponge to blot the mixture and rub it over the stain. Once you've cleaned the stain, rinse with water.

Use bleach. If you need to remove stubborn stains from your Vans shoes, bleach is another option. Bleach is a dangerous substance so be careful not to inhale or get into the skin. Change clothes you don't have to worry about if bleach gets on as it will bleach the fabric. Here's how to use bleach effectively:

Mix 1 part bleach with 5 parts water. Undiluted bleach can cause white fabrics to turn yellow.
Use a toothbrush or toothbrush dipped in the bleach mixture and scrub the stain.
Then rinse with water.
Repeat this until the stain is gone.

Use toothpaste to cover the stain. If you have to hurry somewhere and cannot perform the full steps of cleaning white shoes then carefully apply a little white toothpaste on the dirty area. Apply until the stain has faded. Then, you can clean the stain with the methods mentioned above. advertisement
