How to Freshen Up Your White Sneaks

WHITE SNEAKS! So cute, but a major pain to keep clean/freshen up. I recently got an elastic slip-on pair that I’m head over heels in love with and have been treating them like babies the past month. As you know, you step out with a white shoe and it attracts dirt - I don’t make the rules, I just report them.

My grandma, who we fondly called Bushie, was a cleaning machine. She knew how to get every type of stain out. While some knowledge transferred to me, I clearly missed the lesson on OxiClean. Thankfully, my mom swooped in and dropped some OxiClean truth. It doesn’t bleach (which means, yay, it doesn’t smell like bleach), it’ll brighten, clean and not mess with any colors.

Other than detergent and OxiClean, I highly recommend a garment bag to keep your shoesies contained in the washing machine.

How to Freshen Up/Clean White Sneaks

  1. Place your shoes in a garment bag

  2. Add detergent to washing machine and OxiClean (follow directions on back)

  3. Wash on a cold/cool, delicate cycle

  4. Air dry

*This goes without saying, but make sure your shoes can be washed in the washing machine prior to dong this.
