FAQs: How To Wash Mesh Shoes At Home?

To clean your mesh shoes effectively at home, start by spraying alcohol on the mesh to break down grime and disinfect the surface. Next, pour a small amount of dish soap over the mesh. Then, take a toothbrush and use the back of it to gently scrape the mesh repeatedly. After that, switch to the bristled side of the toothbrush and scrub the mesh using warm water. Finally, dip the shoes in clean water and remove them, your mesh will be visibly cleaner and your shoes will look refreshed and ready to wear.

To wash mesh shoes with baking soda, make a paste using baking soda, vinegar, and warm water. Gently scrub it onto the mesh with a toothbrush and let it sit for 15–20 minutes. Wipe or rinse off the paste, then air dry the shoes away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing.

After washing, dry your shoes by removing excess water with a towel, taking out insoles and laces, and stuffing them with paper towels to maintain shape. Let them air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources like dryers, which can damage the material and structure.

To wash white sneakers, remove the laces and insoles, then brush off loose dirt. Clean using a mix of warm water, mild detergent, and optional baking soda. Gently scrub with a toothbrush, wipe with a damp cloth, and air dry in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight and heat to prevent damage.
