  1. Put the shoes in a pillow case.

  2. Put the shoes in the washing machine, pillow case and all, and add a scoop of bleach-free laundry detergent.

  3. Wash the shoes in cold water.

  4. Remove the shoes from the pillowcase once the cycle is finished and set them someplace to dry, away from any heat source.

  5. Crumple up newspaper and put it in the shoes to help absorb the moisture.

Tips

A soft clean cloth or sponge dipped in warm soapy water is the best way to spot clean your Converse.

Warnings

Do not place your Converse shoes in the dryer; this will ruin the rubber soles.
