White shoes look stylish, but keeping them clean can be quite challenging. Stains on white shoes are often stubborn and difficult to remove. However, by following a few simple tips, you can make your white shoes shine like new in just five minutes. Cleaning them at home is easy with the right approach. Here are a few tricks to clean them at home:
Clean According to the Material
Whether your shoes are made of leather or canvas, they should be cleaned accordingly. However, cleaning white canvas shoes is relatively easier. Before washing any shoes, remove the laces and soak them in soapy water. Some shoes can be machine-washed, while others require hand-cleaning, depending on the material.
How to Clean White Leather Shoes
To clean white leather shoes, you will need a toothbrush, a cotton cloth, an eraser sponge, a paper towel, liquid dish soap, and a cup of warm water. First, remove the laces and brush off any dirt with a toothbrush. Mix dish soap in warm water and apply it to the shoes using the toothbrush. Scrub gently, then wipe off the soap with a damp sponge. Finally, dry the shoes with a cotton cloth.
Toothpaste for Leather Shoes
White toothpaste can also be used to clean leather shoes. Apply a small amount of toothpaste and rub it in circular motions. Leave it on for 10-20 minutes before wiping it off with a damp cloth. Alternatively, mix baking soda with two teaspoons of white vinegar in a cup of water. Apply the mixture using a brush or cloth, then wipe the shoes clean. This method will make white leather shoes look brand new.
Lemon for Stain Removal
To clean white canvas shoes, sports shoes, or sneakers, squeeze fresh lemon juice onto the stains and leave them in the sun for an hour. Afterwards, rinse with water. Another method is to mix hot water with baking soda and detergent, apply it to the shoes, scrub gently, and then rinse with clean water.
