Schuh van shoes, how to clean?

Freiheit · 20-07-2013 4:54pm #1

Hi I'm just wondering if anyone has these and if so how they cleaned them? I've tried a google search and I've heard foam or the washing machine, but the washing machine seems drastic?. The link below is not the actual shoes but an example of the material that they are. Help appreciated, thanks.:)

Hi!

I've washed my vans (white/pink with flowers) in the washing machine before and they came out spotless - dare I say, good as new :cool:

If you are worried about the colours running, maybe use a lower temperature?

While washing them in the washing machine certainly does make them look good as new, I find it puts them out of shape a little. At least, it did with mine.

I washed a pair of white canvas wedges the other day with a toothbrush and some washing detergent mixed with water, only took a couple of minutes, I left them outside in the sun and they dried in a few hours and were a lovely bright white again.

I washed my brothers Vans and Converse the other day (he wasn't brave enough!!). I did the special shoe wash that is on the machine, but it didn't really make a difference. I chanced the regular 40 degree wash and they came out perfect. Dried them in the sunshine in no time. I guess the worse that could have happened would be that Barbie ended up with a few new pairs of shoes.....and that he would disown me!

I usually stick mine in a pillow case and a regular 30degree wash. I don't do it very often, so doubt it'll do much harm to them. I dry them naturally then, outside preferably... I wouldn't put them in a dryer!
