How do I clean my white canvas tennis shoes? they have little mickey mouse's on the side that are colored.

Most of the time i've done bleach and detergent in the washer, but detergent turns them yellow and obviously I can't use bleach because of the mouse sewn on them. Any ideas would be great! Thanks!

Try spraying stain remover on everything but mickey mouse and put in the wash with nappy soaker instead of detergent and see how that works. :)
Reply:Things You’ll Need:





Cool water


Old toothbrush or soft scrubbing brush


Mild soap


Paper towels


White tube sock


Washing machine








Step1


Let wet and muddy shoes dry before cleaning them. Take shoes outside and beat them together or against a hard surface to remove caked on mud and dirt.





Step2


Take the shoe laces out of the shoes. Put the laces inside a long tube sock and tie a knot in the top of the sock. Wash and dry the laces with like colors.





Step3


Wet the shoes with cool water. Apply a mild soap to a soft scrubbing brush. Scrub both the inside and outside of the shoes with the brush. Apply more soap as needed.





Step4


Wash the soap off of the shoes with clean cool water. Scrub stubborn stains with additional soap. Rinse all soap out of the shoes.





Step5


Dump excess water out of the shoes. Blot the shoes dry with a clean white towel. Crinkle heavy duty paper towels into balls. Stuff the paper towels into the shoes to absorb water.





Step6


Set the shoes on a surface where they can dry at room temperature. Remove the wet paper towels from the shoes after an hour. Replace them with dry paper towels. Change out the paper towels frequently until all of the excess moisture is absorbed.





Step7


Replace the laces in the tennis shoes. Purchase new laces when the old laces do not come as clean as the shoes.
Reply:put them in a zippered pillow case and throw them in the washer with some Dawn dishsoap and wash them on the gentle cycle. or dont even use any soap at all.





if that dont work use shaving cream and a toothbrush. toothpaste also will work %26lt;-- that is what the army guys use to shine up their black shoes
Reply:Try making a paste of baking soda and water and use a toothbrush to scrub the shoes. Don't scrub on Mickey though, you don't want to erase his cute face! Rinse in lukewarm water and let air dry.
Reply:Old toothbrush and wonder soap scrub by hand.


Rinse thoroughly get all soap out.


A lot of work but worth it.


Brush Mickeys teeth while you are at it.
Reply:Use Simple Green cleaner, and Era detergent. It takes grease and dirt out of my husbands work pants. He's a mechanic! (use a double rinse)
Reply:toss em in the wash with peroxide.
