Effective methods for cleaning mesh fabric shoe uppers include using tools and materials such as soft brushes, neutral detergents, and white vinegar.
Use a soft brush: A soft brush is the preferred tool for cleaning mesh fabric shoe uppers because its soft bristles can gently clean the uppers and avoid damaging the mesh structure. When cleaning, use a soft brush to gently circle to remove dust and stains, and try to avoid strong scrubbing.
Choose a neutral detergent: Using a neutral detergent can avoid unsightly yellow spots on the uppers. Avoid using alkaline detergents or soaps, as these will form yellow spots on the surface of the shoes, seriously affecting the appearance.
Soak in white vinegar: Add a small amount of white vinegar to clean water and soak the mesh shoes for a while. This step is particularly effective for removing stubborn stains. After soaking, gently scrub with a soft brush, the stains will disappear, and the shoes will become clean as new.
Other cleaning methods: Mix toothpaste and laundry detergent: Apply laundry detergent evenly on the surface of the shoes, and then squeeze some toothpaste. Toothpaste has a good ability to remove stains, while laundry detergent can effectively remove odors from shoes. Use a soft brush to scrub gently, but be careful not to use too much force.
Detergent and alcohol: Mix detergent and alcohol, and soak in hot water for a cleaner effect. Use a soft brush to attack stains, rinse with clean water, and then dry. It sterilizes and removes stains.
Lemonade and laundry detergent: Add a few drops of lemonade and laundry detergent to warm water and soak for three or four minutes. Use a small brush to apply the solution to the yellowed and dirty areas, rinse and dry.
Baking soda and white vinegar: Mix baking soda and an appropriate amount of white vinegar and stir into a paste. Dip an old toothbrush in this magical mixture, gently brush it on the stains, wait a few minutes, and then rinse with clean water.
Drying tips: After cleaning, mesh shoes should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can cause mesh shoes to turn yellow and harden, affecting the appearance and texture of the shoes.
