How to Clean Converse Shoes
Converse shoes were first produced in 1917 and are still one of the most stylish and comfortable shoes around. A former basketball player by the name of Chuck Taylor had a major role in promoting these shoes and today his signature is part of the trademark Converse patch that is on every shoe. Proper care of Converse shoes will help them to last longer and look better. Cleaning these shoes is an easy process that is well worth the time.
-
Put the shoes in a pillow case.
-
Put the shoes in the washing machine, pillow case and all, and add a scoop of bleach-free laundry detergent.
-
Wash the shoes in cold water.
-
Remove the shoes from the pillowcase once the cycle is finished and set them someplace to dry, away from any heat source.
-
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
