Step-by-Step Guide

1

Remove Laces and Insoles

Take out laces and insoles. Wash laces separately in soapy water.

2

Brush Off Dirt

Use a dry brush to remove loose dirt and debris from the shoes.

3

Make Cleaning Paste

Mix 1 tbsp baking soda, 1/2 tbsp hydrogen peroxide, 1/2 tbsp water into paste.

4

Apply and Scrub

Apply paste with old toothbrush. Scrub in circular motions over entire shoe.

Let Sit in Sun

Place shoes in direct sunlight for 3-4 hours. The sun activates whitening.

Brush Off Residue

Brush off dried paste and wipe with damp cloth. Repeat if needed.
