ODEE SHOE CARE · SHOELACE CARE GUIDE
Dirty shoelaces can make even clean sneakers look untidy. Wondering how to clean shoelaces at home? Most washable fabric laces can be freshened up with a gentle hand-washing routine and a few basic supplies.
How to Wash Shoelaces in 5 Steps
1. Remove the Laces
Carefully remove the laces from your shoes. Check their material and any care instructions before washing.
2. Prepare a Mild Solution
For washable fabric laces, mix a small amount of mild laundry detergent with lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals and strong bleach.
3. Wash Gently
Gently massage the laces with your fingers to loosen dirt. Avoid pulling, twisting or aggressively brushing delicate fibers.
4. Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse with clean water until the detergent is removed. Gently press with a clean towel to absorb excess moisture.
5. Air-Dry Completely
Lay the laces flat in a shaded, ventilated area. Avoid tumble dryers and excessive heat, which may damage fibers or plastic lace tips.
White vs Colored Shoelaces
White laces: Use a mild, material-compatible cleaner. Some discoloration may remain after washing.
Colored laces: Test for color bleeding before washing and avoid strong bleaching agents.
Leather or delicate laces: Avoid soaking. Follow their specific material-care instructions.
