How To Clean Suede Shoes 

Investing in a suede care kit is a great way to not only clean the suede of stains and grime but also will prolong the life of your material. If you don’t own a suede cleaning kit you can simply follow these steps to revive your belongings:

Rub the suede with a clean towel. This brushes up the napped texture to expose any dirt hidden underneath the fibers. Next, use a pencil eraser to literally “erase” any stains! Most stains are surface level, so they can easily be rubbed off. Other stains, however, are ingrained deep into the fibers so they may need a little more cleaning power. Plain white vinegar or rubbing alcohol can easily remove spots without staining the suede. Pour either liquid onto a soft cloth and rub it into the stain. After letting the fabric dry, brush with a dry towel to fluff the suede.

To protect your suede belongings in the future, you can purchase a suede protectant spray. It repels water, oil, and grime so that not only will your belongings be protected from future stains but it also will require fewer routine cleanings.

How To Easily Clean Velvet Shoes

We recommend occasionally sprinkling the insides with baking soda. The baking soda will absorb and freshen your shoes up a bit, and you can dump out any excess baking soda that does not absorb. As for the outside, we recommend using a soft-bristled brush to wipe away any dirt or spots but do keep your velvet shoes away from water.

How To Clean Shoe Insoles

Your shoes' insoles can get pretty worn out after a while. With every step you take, the porous inserts absorb dirt, oil, and perspiration, which can eventually lead to bacteria and mold. Killing these germs and banishing the stench they cause can be difficult, but it's not impossible, provided you know the right tricks. 

1. Mix together alcohol and water in a small spray bottle.

Regular isopropyl alcohol has powerful antibacterial properties, making it perfect for cleaning delicate clothing items; If you don't happen to have any rubbing alcohol on hand, a slightly higher concentration of distilled white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide will also do the trick. Be warned, however—vinegar can leave behind its odor that may take a few wears to fade.

2. Set the insoles aside to dry.

Relocate them outside or somewhere else where they can receive plenty of airflow. The alcohol will soon evaporate and take the water with it, leaving your insoles clean, disinfected, and smelling fresh again; Don't wear the shoes again until they've had time to dry. Doing so will just introduce new germs and moisture.

How To Wash Athletic Shoes

Most athletic and tennis shoes can simply be tossed in the washing machine on a gentle or delicate cycle and cleaned with a good, heavy-duty laundry detergent. Remove any inner soles and the laces and wash the laces separately. To control odor and fungus, wipe down the inner soles with a 50:50 vinegar-water solution before placing them back in shoes or replace with new liners.
