[10 Ways]"},"content":{"rendered":"

Stains can be difficult to remove from shoes. They are especially difficult to remove completely from white shoes because they show up so well. The best way to get stains out is to act quickly if you just spilled something on them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To remove stains from shoes, you can try various methods, such as rubbing with a microfiber cloth (recommended 1st), soaking them in a bucket, gently washing them in a washing machine, or gently scrub them with a scrub brush. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Before You Start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    My experience has taught me that a microfiber cloth with soapy water can remove most dirt and some stains from shoes. Sometimes using a scrub brush can help effectively remove grim where a microfiber cloth can not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (If you don’t have any cleaning products and are looking for a shoe-cleaning kit, read this article<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The other methods and cleaners mentioned above may work more effectively. Remember that the stronger a cleaner is, the greater the chance of damaging your shoe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sometimes patience is your best friend when cleaning your shoes. It may take a bit longer to clean your shoes, but the result will be worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We’ll discuss how to clean fabric, canvas, leather, and faux leather white shoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    1. Start With Soap And Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I would usually start with soap and water. This works great for most grim and dirt but may not work for stains that have set in. You may find that soaking your shoes in soapy water can help penetrate into the stain and lift it much better. But cheaper leather shoes and faux leather shoes may not hold up well to soaking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Be careful with the type of liquid soap you use. Some may contain harsher chemicals that may damage some shoes. Regular dish soap with nothing added works well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To get started, mix some dish soap and water in a container. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
