How to Clean Navy Color Converses

Shelley Marie

Converse sneakers are often made from canvas, and they require special cleaning and care. Navy colored Converse shoes can fade or wear out if washed in the washing machine, so hand washing them with mild detergent is a better choice. Clean your navy colored Converses when they become dirty or dingy to keep them looking their best. With the right care, you can keep your Converse sneakers in top condition.

  1. Fill a bucket with warm water. Add 1 tsp. to 2 tsp. of mild laundry detergent.

  2. Remove the laces from the shoes. Place the shoes in the soapy water. Swish them around to remove any dirt or debris.

  3. Wipe the toe caps and rubber soles with a cloth to remove any tough dirt.

  4. Rinse the shoes with clean water to remove any detergent. Shake out the water, and blot the shoes with a towel to absorb excess moisture.

  5. Place the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat until they air dry completely. Lace the shoes when they're completely dry.
