Shoe care should be a mandatory course to take in school. I'm not reffering to just sneakers, but boots, dress shoes. Any shoe. The reason for this is that some shoes are not ment to have that over clean look. You want them to look clean, just not out of the box clean. Basically they need just a bit of dirt to give them that "i dont care" feel. Remember that sneakers need to be properly taken care of.

So lets get down on how to be clean.

1. Take the laces out
   • This will make sure you get all the actual shoe
   • Laces can be washed in the washer or quickly by hand
2. Get warm water
   • Bucket of warm water
   • Or hang out by a sink in a laundry room
3. Use dishwasher soap
   • Nothing cleans like dishwasher soap
   • It tends to be thicker then most regular soap
4. Scrub
   • If you have an old tooth brush use that
5. Start with the sole of the shoe
   • This way you can rest the shoe down after to clean the top
6. Clean the top
   • Make sure to get the laces wholes
7. Dry shoe
   • Make sure the whole shoe is fully dry
8. Now get some vim
   • Do this part only if your shoes are white
   • On a piece of paper towel place a small amount of vim and rub all over
9. Get a damp paper towel
   • Just rub all around getting any excess Vim off

Now your shoes should be good!
