Why You Should Clean Your White Sandals

Don’t allow dirt and stains to dull their sparkle. With the right tools and a bit of your time and energy, you can strut your stuff in white sandals that look like new all year long.

Steps and Tools for Cleaning White Sandals

We all love wearing our cute sandals, but after a few wears, they need a little TLC. According to HGTV, one of the best approaches for cleaning white shoes is to spot clean by hand with an old toothbrush or soft, white rag. Wedge sandals are a seasonal staple, so when they start to show signs of wear, a bit of warm water and baking soda can restore their shine. If you’re looking for fast and simple tools to clean your white sandals, here are the tools you need and how to use them.

1. Tools You Need

  • Soft-bristled brush or old toothbrush
  • Mild soap or dish detergent
  • Cloth or sponge
  • Baking soda or white vinegar (optional for extra scrubbing power and tough stains)
  • Cotton swab (for hard-to-reach areas)
  • Warm water
