Best way to clean shoes?

<p>Hello parents!</p>

<p>SSU has gotten a LOT of rain in the last few weeks. To make a long story short, my new pair of shoes that I bought over winter break are now pretty dingy. </p>

<p>I don’t know if I want to put them in the school washing machine for fear of breaking it. Is there another (easy and cheap) way I can clean them?</p>

<p>They’re just tennis shoes…canvas and rubber. (and yes, I have gone through LOTS of socks as well.)</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Just put them in the washing machine and then let them air dry. You will not break the machine. When I wash tennis shoes, I throw a couple of towels in to just so it doesn’t make as much noise.</p>

<p>Ditto what she said. I wash sneakers in the washing machine all the time. They will look brand new when you take them out.</p>

<p>Spraying them first with Spray N Wash or Shout and letting it soak for 15-20 minutes first really helps too. Make sure you air dry them. We do turn them upside down over a register. That speeds things up and doesn’t seem to shrink them.</p>
