It may be tempting to throw those dirty sneakers in the wash - but don’t do it...
Keds, Converse and Nike all say not to machine wash or dry your shoes and recommend spot or hand washing only. You’ll need some water, baking soda and some mild detergent. Here are the Converse step by step instructions:
* Brush any loose debris and dirt of your sneakers
* Using a cloth, wet them thoroughly with hot water, don’t submerge them
* Make a paste with warm water, baking soda and some mild detergent
* Scrub your sneaks with the paste and a toothbrush all over
* Wipe as much of the paste off as you can
* Rinse thoroughly with cold water
* Stuff newspaper into your shoes and let them dry overnight
Don’t forget to remove the insoles from your shoes first. You can either wash them separately, or go ahead and invest in a nice fresh pair.
