Why Mesh Shoes Get Dirty So Fast?

Mesh fabric is designed with tiny holes that make the shoes breathable and comfortable. However, these holes also trap:

  • Dust and mud particles while walking outdoors

  • Sweat and odor during workouts

  • Spills and stains from daily use

This is why regular cleaning is necessary to maintain both appearance and hygiene.

How to Clean Mesh Shoes: Detailed Guide Step By Step

Here’s a step-by-step method you can follow at home: 

Step 1: Remove Laces & Insoles

  • Take out the shoelaces and insoles before cleaning.

  • Wash laces separately with mild detergent.

  • Insoles can be hand-washed and sun-dried to remove odor.

Step 2: Pre-Clean the Shoes

  • Use a soft brush or old toothbrush to remove loose dirt and dust.

  • Never use a hard brush—it can damage the mesh fabric.

Step 3: Make a Gentle Cleaning Solution

  • Mix 1 tsp mild detergent (liquid laundry detergent or baby shampoo) in a bowl of lukewarm water.

  • Avoid strong bleach or harsh chemicals as they can weaken the mesh material.

Step 4: Hand-Wash the Mesh Shoes

  • Dip the soft brush in the solution and gently scrub the mesh areas in circular motion.

  • Focus on stains and dirty spots without over-saturating the fabric.

Step 5: Rinse with Clean Water

  • Use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe away soap.

  • Make sure no detergent residue remains, it can leave yellowish stains.

Step 6: Air Dry Properly

  • Stuff the shoes with paper towels or clean cloth to maintain shape.

  • Place in a shady, well-ventilated area.

Avoid direct sunlight or dryers as heat can damage mesh fabric and glue.

Extra Tips to Keep Mesh Shoes Clean Longer

  • Spray a shoe protector spray to prevent future stains.

  • Wash mesh shoes every 2–3 weeks if worn daily.

  • Always store them in a dry, dust-free place.

For quick cleaning, use baby wipes to remove surface dirt.

Can You Wash Mesh Shoes in Washing Machine?

Yes, but cautiously. In case of time constraint, put your mesh shoes in a wash bag, cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent, and always air dry afterward. But hand washing is always the best option.

Conclusion

It is not difficult to keep your mesh shoes clean. By using this easy laundry trick, you will be able to eliminate dirt, sweat, and stains from your shoes without affecting the fabric. Cleaning them regularly will ensure your mesh sneakers remain fresh, fashionable, and durable.

So the next time your mesh shoes become dirty, don’t fret, simply use this trick and have sparkling clean shoes looking as good as new!
