How to Clean and Protect Your Canvas Shoes

Your shoes go through a lot—daily wear, unpredictable weather, and accidental spills. 

Neglecting shoe care not only diminishes their appearance but also shortens their lifespan. 

Investing in quality shoe care products like the Shoe MGK Cleaner and Conditioner and the Shoe MGK Water and Stain Repellent can make a world of difference.

1. Remove Laces: Start by removing the shoe laces to ensure you can clean every nook and cranny.

2. Brush off Loose Dirt: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove any loose dirt and debris from the shoes’ surface.

3. Prepare the Cleaner: Follow the instructions on the Shoe MGK Cleaner and Conditioner bottle to create a cleaning solution. Typically, you’ll mix a small amount of cleaner with water in a bowl.

4. Scrub Gently: Dip your brush or cloth into the cleaning solution and scrub the canvas gently. Pay extra attention to stained or soiled areas. Remember, a little elbow grease goes a long way.
5. Rinse and Dry: Use a clean cloth or sponge to wipe away the cleaning solution, and then rinse your shoes with clean water. Allow them to air dry completely. Never use direct heat sources like a hairdryer, as they can damage canvas.

Now that your canvas shoes are clean, it’s time to protect them from future stains and water damage.

1. Shake the Shoe MGK Water and Stain Repellent bottle well.

2. Spray Evenly: Hold the bottle about 6-8 inches away from your shoes and apply an even layer of the repellent. Be sure to cover the entire surface.

3. Allow to Dry: Let your shoes dry for at least 24 hours in a well-ventilated area.
4. Repeat as Needed: For best results, reapply the repellent every few months or after exposure to heavy rain.
