To clean stinky shoes sprinkle some baking soda inside the shoes and allow the baking soda to sit in the shoes overnight.

Then shake it out the next day.

You can also clean stinky shoes by using vinegar and water mixed in a spray bottle.

Spray the vinegar and water solution into the shoes, which will neutralize odors in the shoes and kill bacteria.

You can also clean stinky shoes by washing the shoes in the washing machine with some normal laundry detergent.

To make dirty shoes look new again, you can use some Dawn Powerwash spray on the shoes or even use some regular dish soap and water.

Brush off any loose dirt with a shoe brush, toothbrush or microfiber cloth.

Then you ca clean the shoes using a mild dish soap or laundry detergent that is mixed with some warm water and a soft cloth or toothbrush.

If the stains on your shoes are very stubborn you can also use some baking soda and water to make a paste or using some baking soda and some vinegar.

Then use a toothbrush to scrub the shoes and then let the shoes air dry completely before you polish and shine them if you want to polish and shine the shoes.

You can also dampen a sponge and rub a small amount of dish soap onto the shoes and then give the shoes a good going over with a soapy sponge.

Just be sure to let the soap get into the sponge so you're not applying the soap directly to the shoes.

You can also clean shoes with Dawn Powerwash by spraying the Dawn Powerwash on the dirty areas of the shoes, then take a sponge or even a toothbrush and scrub the dirty areas of the shoes.

Then after you scrub the dirt off the shoes you can rinse the shoes with a wet rag or a sponge to remove any excess Dawn Powerwash and remove the dirt and grime.

Spray the Dawn Powerwash directly onto the dirty areas of the shoe, including the rubber soles, canvas or other synthetic fabric.

However it's best to avoid using Dawn Powerwash on leather shoes or other leather material or other delicate materials.

Dawn Powerwash is very effective at cleaning rubber soles, canvas sneakers and synthetic fabrics and synthetic materials.

Although the harsh ingredients in Dawn Powerwash can damage leather so you should only use a specialized leather cleaner for cleaning leather shoes.

Before you apply the Dawn Powerwash to a large area of the shoes you should spot test the Dawn Powerwash in a less visible area of the shoe to ensure that no damage occurs to the shoes.

After cleaning the shoes with the Dawn Powerwash you should be sure to rinse the shoes thoroughly with some water to remove any leftover residue of the Dawn Powerwash or other soaps.

You can also use some regular Dawn dish soap to clean your shoes or use the Dawn dish soap or other mild dish soap along with some Oxi clean powder to clean the shoes and use an old toothbrush to scrub the stains and dirty bits from your shoes.
