Step-by-Step Cleaning Process:
1. Remove the Shoelaces and Insoles:
Before starting the cleaning process, remove the laces and insoles from your On Cloud shoes. Take a bowl of warm water with a small amount of Dawn dish soap and place the laces and insoles in the solution for an hour. Then, scrub them using an old toothbrush.
2. Remove the Dirt and Debris from the Shoes:
Use a scrubber brush to remove the dirt and debris from the upper and outsole of the shoes. If the dirt is wet, rinse it off with water.
3. Prepare a Bucket of Warm Water:
Take a bucket of warm water and add Dawn dish soap to it. Now, put the shoes in the solution for an hour.
4. Scrub and Rinse Off the Shoes:
Scrub the shoes in the solution with the help of a brush, and then rinse them off with cold running water.
5. Allow Them to Air Dry:
Once cleaning is done, use a towel to squeeze out the excess water from the shoes. I use microfiber towels as they work better than regular towels. Stuff paper towels or newspaper in the shoes and let them air dry in a well-ventilated room.
For shoes that don’t need a full cleaning but have some scuff marks or dirt on the soles, I use rubbing alcohol and a towel to clean them. It works really well.
