When it comes to cleaning your white shoes, you’re going to need a toothbrush; this will help reach grooves or small intricate places where dirt can collect. Fill your sink or bowl with warm soapy water and dip your toothbrush in. Gently scrub your white shoes, and you should see instant, quick results.

If you find it’s not doing the trick, then you may want to add: baking soda, bleach, baby powder, or even toothpaste to the mixture.

How to get stains out of white shoes

– Stain remover or magic eraser
A magic eraser or stain remover contains cleaning agents that can effectively remove stains such as mud, grass and other tougher marks. They can also be used to remove scuff marks on the sole of the shoes. Each is different, so be sure to check the manufacturer’s instructions before use.

– Rubbing alcohol
Rubbing alcohol is the best choice for scuffs or small stains such as ink. Simply dip a cotton ball or pad into some rubbing alcohol and saturate the stained area. Repeat this until the stain has gone.

– Nail polish or eye make-up remover
Nail polish remover and some eye make-up removers are great for removing scuff marks and ink stains. Use the same method as you would for rubbing alcohol.

– Paint thinner
If you’ve managed to get paint on your white shoes, then a dab of paint thinner should help you remove the stain.

– Lemon juice
Combining lemon juice with four parts water is a wonderful home remedy for removing stains. Dip a sponge in the mixture and lightly scrub the stain. Once you’ve removed the stain, rinse the area with clean water.
