It’s inevitable to get dirt or hard stains on anyone’s shoes. Below are some shoe care tips specially made for dad shoes that can make cleaning them more effortless.
- Use a dry and soft-bristled brush for sneakers. Do not rub your shoes too roughly when cleaning as it could ruin the materials or dull the colors of your shoes.
- Make a mild cleaning solution. Do not use harsh materials like bleach. You may also purchase a pre-mixed solution depending on the material of the shoes you’re planning to clean.
- Typically, a light dusting is enough for leather shoes. However, for tougher dirt or stains, use a horsehair brush to rub lightly at stains.
- Hand wash your laces. A mild soap or cleaning solution will work to remove the stains from your shoelaces. Massage them gently, then dry with a soft cloth afterward.
- Clean the soles of your shoes. Mold and bacteria might accumulate inside the shoes, so make sure to clean the insides with a mild cleaning solution and a soft cloth. You don’t have to rinse it with water. Allow the soles to dry before wearing the shoes.
