Cleaning canvas Converse? This pair gets a gentle hand clean. Check the care directions for your own shoes first. Remove the laces and lift off loose, dry dirt with a soft cloth. Leave these insoles in place. Use a small amount of mild dish soap in lukewarm water. Follow the product's handling precautions. Test the solution on a hidden edge inside the shoe. Check for a colour or material change before continuing. Gently wipe the canvas with the damp, soft cloth. Work in small areas, without soaking the shoe. Clean the rubber gently, then wipe away residue with a fresh cloth dampened with clean water. Wash the laces separately in the soap solution, rinse them well, and leave them to air dry. Support the shape with paper towels and replace them when damp. Dry at room temperature, away from direct heat. No washer or tumble dryer. Once everything is completely dry, re-lace. Some marks may remain. Simply Maid. More room for life.
