How to clean colored canvas shoes correctly?
The answer is certainly negative.This is because although colored canvas shoes may also have a yellowing phenomenon, more often than not, they will have a cross color phenomenon. So, how should we truly clean colored shoes?The most important cleaning requirement for colored canvas shoes is that they cannot be soaked in water for a long time. So, before cleaning, soak in warm water at 60 degrees Celsius with detergent. Take it out in half an hour. Do not use alkaline detergents such as laundry detergent and soap. Because laundry detergent can cause the shoe upper to fade, while soap can cause the shoes to turn yellow.
The cleaning sequence should be as follows: first the outsole, then the midsole, and finally the shoe upper. For very dirty soles, they can directly brush with detergent.When cleaning the shoe upper, be sure to use a soft bristled brush to brush the shoe upper. A hard bristled brush can cause the shoe to ball or lighten the color. Finally, detailed treatment should put out on the tongue and laces of the shoes that have blackened out due to long-term contact with the eyelets. You can dip a cotton swab into a mixed solution of white vinegar and monosodium glutamate, and accurately apply it to the blackened areas. Then clean the foam with clean water and place it in a naturally ventilated place to dry in the shade.

To take a step back, what should you do if you accidentally cross color your shoes? Mix disinfectant water and warm water in a 1:10 ratio.
