The hand-washing “machine”
To give your Vans an almost-washing-machine experience, remove the laces and soak the shoes in a large bucket filled with warm water and gentle detergent.
Periodically scrub the shoe with a soft-bristle brush to get out stubborn stains.
With this method, you can keep a close eye on your shoes and be sure that the machine is not causing any damage. Another benefit is that you can scrub with a little extra elbow grease!
Those Vans are sure to have some ground in stains from pavement, grass and who-knows-what-else.
Suede Vans
If you’ve got stubborn suede Vans on your hands, you’ll need to use those hands to wash them. Get to work!
Use a suede brush to buff away the dirt. You’ll want to stay away from detergents this time and grab some white vinegar. Did you know vinegar is basically a clean-all?
It will lighten stains on your suede vans. Use warm water to rinse away the vinegar and leave them to dry.
You can go ahead and wash the rubber soles with a toothbrush dipped in warm, soapy water with a drop of bleach. Be careful to not get the bleach on the shoe. Keep a towel nearby.
