How to clean Chucks

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video I show you how to clean and give new life to your favourite shoes -- your Chucks!
You will need:
A washing machine & dryer.
Bleach-free laundry detergent.
An iron & ironing board.
An old towel.
Old clothes.
A bleach pen (found at Shopper's Drug Mart, or many grocery stores)
Paper towel.
Optional: New shoelaces.
My shoes weren't too dirty to begin with, but take a look at the end of the video where I show you the before and after photo I took a few months ago (last time I cleaned them.)
Have any other ideas for How To videos? Comment, make a video response, or just message me and maybe I'll make a video of it! ^_^

    A really great video and I have only a single criticism/tip. The bleach works well but it's messy and there is always the risk of tiny spots landing on the material. A safer way is to use an old electric toothbrush head (or a manual toothbrush and elbow grease) and a thick paste of either washing powder or dish soap before you put it in the machine. No danger of causing damage and it actually removes more dirt than the bleach method due to the agitation of the toothbrush. If there are stains on the white part than a rubber (pencil eraser for the Americans) works wonders. Hopefully this is a useful tip for someone :)

    @Gymiks I'm not sure, actually. You may be able to apply it with a cotton swab very carefully. You might also want to dilute the bleach with a bit of water, as well. I think with liquid bleach it'd be EVER MORE important not to get any on the fabric. It'll be tougher to deal with than the gel kind, but good luck to you if you try it! :)

    Ever try cleaning the white rubber parts with Goo-Gone, or similar citrus-based cleaner? It won't bleach the fabric. Also, for spot cleaning on the fabric, have you tried Blue Magic? It's a carpet cleaner, you spray on, wait for 30 sec and then scrub the spot out with a clean rag or sponge. I use these on my Nikes and Vans.

    @jordanasi808 If your soles are black with a white line I would consider trying to scrub it with an old toothbrush and maybe some dishwashing fluid before using bleach. You may use bleach on the white stripe, since it shouldn't really affect the black, but for the black part use dishsoap and see if that helps. Cheers!

Just make sure you rinse them well afterwards in a basin or a sink that the bleach won't affect (metal or porcelain will do well). Good luck :) Let me know how it works!
