how to clean non removable insoles

Steps:

1. Prepare the Shoes:

Remove any loose dirt or debris from the shoes by tapping them together or using a brush to sweep it away.

2. Create a Cleaning Solution:

To make a sudsy solution, combine water and a little amount of mild detergent or laundry soap in a bowl or basin. Because they can harm the insoles, stay away from harsh chemicals like bleach.

1. Scrub the Insoles:
   • Dip a soft-bristle brush (such as a toothbrush) into the soapy solution.
   • Gently scrub the non-removable insoles, paying extra attention to areas with visible stains or dirt.
   • Avoid soaking the insoles or using excessive water, as this can damage the shoe’s structure or make them take longer to dry.
2. Wipe Clean:
   • Use a clean, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the soapy residue from the insoles. Make sure to remove all the soap to prevent any lingering residue that may cause discomfort.
3. Dry Thoroughly:
   • Allow the shoes to air dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as excessive heat can damage the insoles and the shoe’s glue.
   • If you need to speed up the drying process, stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels to help absorb moisture.
4. Remove Odors (Optional):
   • If your insoles have an unpleasant odor, sprinkle some baking soda on them and let it sit overnight. In the morning, shake or brush off the excess baking soda.
   • You can also use a homemade shoe deodorizer spray by mixing water and a few drops of essential oil (e.g., tea tree oil or lavender oil) in a spray bottle. Lightly spray the insoles and allow them to dry.
5. Replace Insoles (If Possible):
   • If your shoes have removable insoles, it’s a good idea to replace them periodically. This can help maintain the comfort and freshness of your shoes.

Remember that the key to cleaning non-removable insoles effectively is to be gentle and avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water. Proper care and cleaning can prolong the life of your shoes and keep them comfortable to wear.
