Steps to follow:

1

Before we start telling you how to clean Converse rubber, the first thing you need to know is that you should wear gloves to protect your skin, as we are going to use products that can damage your skin. Mix an abrasive cleaning powder with a small amount of hot water in a bowl. This should make a fairly pasty consistency. It's important to use a well-ventilated area to avoid any harmful fumes.

It is best you clean your Converse rubber outside or in a well-ventilated room. Additionally, you may consider wearing a face mask for extra protection from cleaning fumes.

2

Use a toothbrush to clean the rubber because it cleans more deeply. Dip the brush in hot water, then rub the pasty mixture onto the rubber shoe. You should scrub thoroughly with small circular movements, making sure you get to all the dents and corners. To enhance the cleaning process, consider using a toothbrush with soft bristles to avoid scratching the rubber.

The next step is to wash off the abrasive powder. Rinse the shoes with warm water. Dry the soles with a clean towel and repeat the above steps if you find that your Converse rubbers are not clean enough. It is crucial to rinse thoroughly to remove any residue that might be left behind, which could cause discoloration over time.

The final step will be to remove any remaining stains with the tough cleaner, Mr. Clean. Wet the magic cleaner with hot water and wipe the rubber of the shoes. Allow your shoes to air dry when finished.

To do this, you can also use Magic eraser or wipes too. For the final touch, pour some alcohol on a cloth and clean them. Rinse with water for your rubber soles to shine! This step not only enhances the appearance but also helps in disinfecting the surface of the rubber.

Tips

• If you don't have an abrasive dust filter, you can use baking soda instead. Baking soda is a natural cleaner and deodorizer, making it an excellent alternative.
• Do not use an abrasive cleaner containing chlorine. It will make the canvas fall apart. Chlorine can also cause yellowing of the rubber over time.
• Once you have got most of the dirt out, you can put them in the washing machine on their own. Don't mix with other clothing, or they could get stained. Using a gentle cycle with cold water can help prevent any potential damage to the shoes.
