A Day In Her Shoes: Jeanne Grey
A guest feature from Jeanne Grey of @thegreylayers on the value of a great pair and what that really means to her.
Even though you take great care of your GREATS, every now and again, they need more than just a quick spot clean. Here’s a step-by-step guide to giving your knit sneakers a thorough cleaning:
You’ll need: bristled brush, ivory soap, water, and powder detergent
You can wash the laces separately, but insoles are delicate parts of a shoe and should not be put in the washing machine.
Using water, soap, and a bristled brush, focus on the particularly dirty areas (outsole or on the shoe) that may not simply come out from washing it in the washing machine.
Wipe off the extra suds and then place into a mesh washing bag that's used for delicate items.
Now comes the fun part - throw them into the washing machine in a delicate cold wash cycle and watch the magic unfold.
Once the cycle is complete, take a look to see if all the stubborn spots are out and looks almost brand new.
Did wash #1 not get that one problem spot? Jump back in the bath. Just repeat Steps 4 through 5 with special attention paid towards dirty areas. For all but the biggest messes, two washes is golden.
Ah, the waiting game… again. Maybe make some coffee? You've got 10 minutes, give or take, until you can truly evaluate how well you've cleaned.
Voila! Clean shoes, as simple as that. Just lace ‘em back up and get back out there – your next GREATS adventure awaits.
