How To Care For Fabric Shoes

While fabric shoes are a little more of a challenge to keep clean, there are several things that you can do to keep them looking great for years!

Avoid problems before they happen - treating with Angelus Water & Stain Repellent or Scotchgard Fabric Protector will help avoid water spots, and reduce dirt pickup and stains.
To prolong the life of leather soles (and assist with water resistance), apply Neatsfoot or Mink Oil to leather soles once or twice a year.

Lightly brush dirt and debris away using a light colored horsehair, or soft nylon brush.
Gently wipe with a damp, lint-free cloth.
Light dirt spots can be removed using Angelus Easy Care Cleaner or a similar product (test on an inconspicuous spot first) and a toothbrush. Wipe to remove excess liquid and air dry. You can avoid water marks by "chasing" wet patches with a damp cloth.
Heavier marks and/or stains can be removed using International Professional Fabric Shoe Cleaner or Scotchgard fabric cleaner. Test on an inconspicuous spot first!

Dyeable satin shoes that have been dyed should be fixed with a fabric protectant spray such as Scotchgard or International Professional Fabric Shoe Cleaner before attempting any cleaning or dry cleaning.
Always test any new cleaning method used with fabric shoes in an inconspicuous place on the shoes first.
