Step 1: Take Off the Shoelaces

First, take the shoelaces out of your shoes. This will make it easier to clean them properly.

Fill a bowl with warm water and add a little bit of mild soap or detergent. Put your shoelaces in the bowl and let them soak for a while. This will help loosen any dirt or grime stuck on them.

After soaking, use a soft brush or an old toothbrush to gently scrub the shoelaces. Make sure to pay extra attention to any spots that have stubborn stains. Scrubbing will help remove the dirt and make your shoelaces look clean.

Step 4: Rinse and Dry

Once you’ve scrubbed the shoelaces, rinse them thoroughly with clean water to wash away any soap. Then, hang them up to dry completely. Make sure they are fully dry before putting them back in your shoes.
