Canvas Sole
How to clean canvas boots?

I've got a pair of cream canvas boots which are starting to look a bit grubby.

I don't know how to clean them. I'm tempted to put them through the washing machine but I'm worried it'll make the sole separate from the boot (because it will damage the glue which sticks the sole to the boot).

Any ideas? I've tried sponging them but it doesn't seem to make a lot of difference . . .

I guess this works for boots too

Canvas is made from hemp and is used for casual shoes and sneakers. Some "canvas" sneakers are made from cotton. Rubber is traditionally used for the sole. They are considered low-maintenance footwear.
What You Need for Cleaning Canvas Sneakers:
Nylon bristle brush or old toothbrush

Cleanser such as laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid or a "suede and fabric" shampoo.

Nylon scrub pad
Baking soda
Plain paper
White cream shoe polish (for white canvas tennis shoes)

Brush all dirt from shoe/boot

Rinse shoes with warm water inside and out. Scrub the canvas sneakers' outsides, insides and liners gently with toothbrush and mixture of water and mild detergent. Rinse with clean cool water.

If scuff marks remain, scrub gently with nylon pad. Rinse again. If the liners still retain foot odor, scrub them with a paste of baking soda and water. Wash laces in with a load of like-colored laundry.

Stuff canvas sneakers with crumpled brown paper bags, paper towels or white office paper (not newspaper or colored paper, the ink transfers).

Let them air-dry along with the laces.

Do not dry them near a fireplace or heater. Direct heat breaks down canvas fabric and causes shoes to become dried out and brittle.

When the shoes are thoroughly dry, replace inserts and laundered laces.

If stains persist on white canvas sneakers, lightly dab on white liquid shoe polish.

Manufacturers may suggest spraying the tops of new canvas sneakers with a cloth care spray before you wear them. Your best bet is to follow any care instructions included with your sneakers.
