  • interesting idea. I once tried washing sneakers in the washing machine. Wasnt a good idea to use warm water as it melted the glue and the sneakers fell apart.

  • Thanks for your suggestion – my kids are so hard on shoes that I replace them every few months, so these days I throw them through the wash when I am doing one and they come out clean.

  • I’ve got to try this and it’s perfect timing. My husband is off for a week and needs his white canvas shoes cleaned. I’ve tried spraying them with a soaker and then putting through the washing machine. They are cleaner but not as good as this.

  • I work a lot with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide ! It’s also great for stains in the carpet. And I use Hydrogen Peroxide for cold and ear infections as well, works a treat !
