Take your shoelaces out of your shoes.  Fill your sink up about halfway with water.  Take some hand soap and work it into each of your laces.  Be thorough, loosen all the dirt you can.  Drop the laces into the water and wash away the remaining soap.  Rap a dry rag firmly around one lace.  Pull the rag along the length of the lace to dry it and repeat the process to dry the other lace.  You can also throw your laces in the washer.  Be sure to put them in a pillow case first and wash them in a normal cold wash cycle. Your old laces will start to unravel after a few washes so you should still buy new laces periodically.  New laces can instantly make your shoes appear brighter. You can also use an iron to dry your laces and straighten them. Pour a few drops of dish soap into a small glass of water.  Let the mixture sit for a few minutes.  Never use more than a teaspoon of dish soap in your mixture. Never use bleach to clean your shoes.  Bleach will turn your white shoes yellow. Apply your mixture to a shoe cleaner brush and rub it onto your shoes in a circular motion.  Work the mixture in until it starts to foam.  You can use a toothbrush to clean the soft fabric and hard to reach parts of your shoes.  Be gentle, don’t rub your shoes too hard or you may scratch them. Only use soft bristle brushes to clean your shoes.  A hard bristle could damage them. Gently wipe off the foam from your shoes with a soft clean cloth.  Put some dryer sheets on the inside of your shoes to soak up the remaining moisture.  Give your shoes some time to dry naturally.  It could take them as long as a day to dry completely.  Change the dryer sheets every few hours to speed up the process.  Don’t use a hairdryer or any other source of heat to dry your shoes.  Excessive heat can damage them. The dryer sheets will also remove odor from your shoes to keep them smelling fresh.
