The Traditional Way
There’s nothing that dish soap and some hot water can’t fix, including your dirty white shoes. Simply fill a bucket with warm water and add a teaspoon of any liquid dish soap, though Dawn works best.
After you’ve added the soap, stir the solution until it becomes slightly sudsy. Then, use a toothbrush to dip into the solution and start scrubbing your shoes carefully, moving your hand in small, circular motions.
There are also shoe cleaning kits available that include all the tools and supplies to keep your entire shoe collection sparkly clean. Check out this kit that has everything you need!
The Magic Eraser
The magic eraser sitting in your cabinet is good for more than just scuffs and stains around the home. They’re actually ideal for whitening up your shoes!
Simply dunk a clean magic eraser into a soapy mixture of liquid soap and warm water, then wring it out. Once there’s no water dripping from it, use it to buff away scuffs and dirt from your shoes.
Use it one the soles, tops, and bottoms of your favorite pair of white shoes. You’ll be surprised at the results!
Use Bleach
Mix 1 part of bleach with 5 parts of water in a container, and make sure that you do so in an open area in your home. Once the mixture is fully settled, dip a toothbrush into it and then scrub your shoes with it.
Work in small, circular motions to scrub away scuff marks and dirt. Just make sure you don’t spill any of the bleach solution to avoid unwanted staining or irritation.
Let Your Shoes Dry
After you clean your shoes, regardless of what method you choose, you need to let them air-dry. If you don’t, you run the risk of getting that moldy, musky smell in your shoes.
Pin them up on a clothesline or set them outside in the sun until they’re dry. When they’re finished drying, you’re free to store them wherever you’d like.
