Step 2
Spray an ample amount of scrubbing bubbles onto the entire shoe. Let this sit for five minutes untouched or until the bubbles have disappeared.
Step 3
Use the soft washcloth to gently rub at any caked on debris that you weren't able to remove with the toothbrush. Use the toothbrush to scrub at small crevasses to remove any small debris. Wipe the shoes off completely with a clean portion of the washcloth.
Step 4
Rinse the washcloth out in your water supply and wring out completely. Wipe over the entire shoe to remove any residual bubbles. Let air dry.
Tip
On dark colored shoes, test Scrubbing Bubbles on the tongue of the shoe for colorfastness. This method should not be used on suede of any kind. This can also be used on the soles or rubber portions of any shoe.
