How To Clean Canvas Shoes (A Step-By-Step Guide)
You just bought a new pair of shoes. You’re excited to go out with your friends and show them off, but then… you step in some mud.
Nothing’s more frustrating than getting your shoes dirty. Unfortunately, over time, canvas shoes will collect dirt and dust which take away from their appearance.
So, how do you clean canvas shoes?
Let’s take a look!
What You’ll Need
Before you can start cleaning your canvas shoes, you’ll need to make sure you have the right supplies.
To follow the steps below, you’ll need:
- A large bowl filled with warm water.
- 1 Scoop of laundry detergent.
- Scrubbing brush.
- Toothbrush.
- White toothpaste or stain remover.
1. Fill A Large Bowl With Warm Water
First, find a bowl large enough to fit at least one shoe at a time. Fill it up with warm water. Be careful not to fill it too full or else water will spill over the sides when you add the shoe. It’s best if the bowl is large enough so that the shoe can be completely submerged in the water.
2. Add Laundry Detergent to The Water
Next, add some laundry detergent to the bowl of water and mix it thoroughly. Any detergent powder or liquid will do. If you use powder, one scoop should be enough. For liquid, about 30ml will suffice.
3. Place Shoes in The Bowl
Now, let your shoes soak in the mixture of warm water and laundry detergent for about five minutes. This will help raise the dirt and grime out of the canvas to make it easier to scrub out.
4. Gently Scrub The Exterior Of The Shoe With a Brush
Using a brush, begin scrubbing any dirt spots on the shoe. For best results, scrub in a circular motion.
5. Use a Toothbrush, Toothpaste, And/Or Stain-Remover To Scrub Stains
Believe it or not, toothpaste can actually help remove stains from your shoes. Conventional stain-removers will work as well.
Apply the toothpaste or stain-remover to any stains or tough dirt spots on the shoe. Then, use a circular motion to scrub the area with the toothbrush.
6. Rinse Shoes With Clean Water
Now, rinse the detergent, stain-remover, and foam from the shoe with clean water.
7. Dry Naturally
If you have the time, it’s best to let shoes dry naturally. You can put them outside in the shade and they should be dry within a few hours.
If you’re in a rush, some shoes can go in the dryer - just make sure to check the product information to verify if your shoes are safe for machine drying first.

I received a pair of Malaga slipper shoes for my birthday last year. I have bunions and find your shoes are absolutely the most comfortable shoes! In fact, I wear them almost all the time. I want to buy more of the same style (Malaga slipper), but am finding only a couple patterns that I like available in my size (US 7.5). I am going to be 80 next month and was hoping to buy a new pair as a birthday present to myself! How often do you restock or come out with new patterns?

More slippers. Also, a information/identification/alphabetical line at top to look up specific patterns or/and styles.

I’ve had my Uins for a couple years, primarily worn indoors, and they were looking a little discolored on the sides and on the toes. These instructions worked great for removing discoloration, especially the toothpaste trick. They look brand new! I took out the inner liner and washed separately, to get out any dirt caught in between. Great shoes!!!

I love my fish mules, so much that I have worn them out and would like to get a new pair with a different design but sadly all the designs I like are don’t available in my size. Will these shoes ever be restocked? The ones available in my size I am not that crazy about, I don’t even have a corgi 😂

Would love an answer to the question whether it would be safe to use ScotchGuard on the shoes.

I am SO tired of the extremely limited selection of women’s shoes in size 10.5 N. I LOVE your shoes but am afraid they’ll be to wide for me. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Love these shoes. I have 4 pair. Just ordered a pair of unicorns for my granddaughters upcoming birthday. I was mine in the washer on cold, in a mesh lingerie bag and air dry. No running of colors at all. Did I say I love these shoes😁 Get so many compliments and strangers asking for the manufacturer name. I think we should be given a code to pass on so we can earn discounts for future pairs.

I have several new pairs of Uin painted canvas shoes. Can I spray them with scotch guard fabric shield or other shoe sprays for protection from water or stains?

I purchased the white UIN shoes and love them. However, they became dirty pretty quickly so I washed them exactly as instructed. Unfortunately the dye from the inside heel portion bleed onto the white fabric. I’m so disappointed as these were by far my favorite shoes. I will not be able to wear them now unless I’m just working around my house.

Love these shoes —have hold that color and sunflower— plan to get more. They are light and comfy—have gotten many compliments.

I have four pairs of these shoes. I washed them fairly regularly in my front load washer. I simply put a spot of liquid soap on any serious stains, take the pads out, toss both into the washer with a towel, wash on a moderate cycle with warm or cool water. I also routinely use vinegar as a fabric rinse. I dry them on a boot dryer which circulates warm air and we are fine to go. My favorite pair has probably been washed this way 6 to 10 times and are just fine. I figure these shoes are for wearing and if eventually they have to be replaced that just means I love them all the more. Warning, I don’t know how this would work in a topload washer as I have only had front loaders for 30 years or more. I also have several synthetic Travelon purses that I routinely wash this way.

Thanks for the cleaning tip! I will try it out!
So love my shoes and getting ready to order a spring model. I love all of them!
Sigh……..I will pick one for sure! Norma

Estoy enamorada de mis zapatos de lona, de su diseño y comodidad. Ya requieren baño y en el artículo no hablan sobre su plantilla, ¿Debo retirarlas al lavarlo? ¿También se secan rápido las plantillas? Están pegadas las plantillas o son móvibles?
