This is a guide on how to clean white canvas shoes and it has 14 steps total.

1. 1

   Don't bother cleaning your shoes until any mud or dirt has dried. The treads can be cleared by tapping the soles together once they're dry. Cleaning the crevices of your shoes and removing the larger pieces of dirt is a breeze with an old toothbrush.

   Y'all need to unlace your shoes. If the laces are dirty, soak them in water with a little bit of dish soap. [2]

   • To avoid this hassle altogether, you could always just go out and buy some new shoelaces. Keep the old pair for use in arts and crafts or donate them. [3]

   Wet the toothbrush with the liquid and reapply. Start cleaning your shoe from the outside of the stain inwards using circular motions.

   • Since you don't have to exert as much muscle power with an electric toothbrush, it's a viable alternative to the traditional toothbrush.
   • In order to get a spotless canvas, you'll need to rinse it repeatedly. When the shoe has been cleaned to your satisfaction, give it a good rinse in cold water to get rid of any leftover soap. You'll want to take your time with this because soap residue, once dried, can leave stains on clothing and footwear. Replace that other foot next.
   • Ensure that no water enters the shoe while rinsing.

6. 6

   Take some time to let your shoes air out. Let the shoes dry naturally in an open space. Putting them in the sun on a warm day is a fantastic plan. [5]

   • Stuffing the shoes with a ball of rags or paper towels will help them maintain their shape while they dry. [6]
   • You should wait until they are completely dry to put them on.

   When the machine is about 3/4 full of water, that's when you want to add the shoes. Wait for the cycle to finish, and then remove the shoes. [11]
