Fabric shoe cleaning

[toneekay]

Supsup!

I have some shoes that are like... fabric. I need to clean them but I'm not too sure which method to go with... They smell like feet/socks and it's nasty (I'm sure it's the built up smell from over usage and s*** spilling on it and etc)...

The shoes are these ones here (different color of course), but it's like woven fabric on the top and sides... How the hell do I clean these?

Supsup!

Yeeoooo!

you're trying to clean the inside or the outside of them?

To get rid of the smell, put them in the freezer for a few days.

Bacteria causes a smell. Bacteria cant survive in the cold for that long. Dead bacteria, no mo smell.

I do it for my boots all the time.

Both... Inside and the fabric on the outside.

I'll try this one I get my shoes cleaned... I need to wash the fabric somehow, and I don't want to throw them in the washer =/

What do?

I have a similar pair of globe slippers that I had to clean off recently...Puke isnt a very good color lol

I used the shoe cleaner they sell at foot locker and a toothbrush and gently cleaned the fabric parts that needed it. I brushed the same direction each time, thought maybe if I didn't it might fray or look odd.. To each their own.

Stuff I used

I have some of that stuff at the house... I didn't want to use it since it says "sneaker" on it, but I'll give it a shot today...

I just sprayed it on let it kinda soak in then scrubbed carefully, worked good on suede surely being yours are more of a thread type material in theory theyd be more durable and less sensitive to stains and damage then suede lol

 

[toneekay]

Yeah, I have a suede cleaning kit, but I only use that for my car seats...

I'll probably stuff the shoes with paper so it has something strong underneath it for support before I spray and scrub.

I just roll up a sock and toss it inside
