How to Clean Jelly Shoes (Easy Steps for Spotless Footwear)

by Rod Nichol

Okay, so, you guys know I’ve been all about those jelly shoes lately, right? Super cute, super comfy, but man, do they get dirty fast! I wore mine out to a music festival last weekend, and let’s just say they were looking pretty rough by the end of it. Mud, dirt, some mystery stains – you name it. I was determined to get them back to their former glory, so I embarked on a jelly shoe cleaning mission.

How to Clean Jelly Shoes (Easy Steps for Spotless Footwear)

First things first, I gathered my supplies. I filled up a bowl with some warm water and added a good squirt of mild dish soap. Nothing fancy, just the regular stuff I use for my dishes. I figured if it’s gentle enough for my plates, it’s probably good for my shoes, too.

Next, I grabbed a soft-bristled toothbrush that I use just for cleaning, and an old washcloth. I dipped the toothbrush into the soapy water and started gently scrubbing away at the dirt. I paid extra attention to the grooves and crevices, where all the gunk likes to hide. The washcloth came in handy for wiping down the larger surfaces.

I worked on one shoe at a time, taking my time to make sure I didn’t miss any spots. It was actually kind of satisfying to see all that grime coming off. For some of the tougher stains, I let the soapy water sit for a few minutes before scrubbing again. That seemed to do the trick.

  • Fill a bowl with warm water.
  • Add a small amount of mild soap.
  • Dip a clean cloth or a soft brush into the soapy water.
  • Gently scrub the surface of the shoes.

Rinse and Dry

Once I was happy with how clean they were, I rinsed both shoes thoroughly under some cool, running water. I made sure to get rid of all the soap residue, because I didn’t want any weird streaks or anything. After rinsing, I gave them a good shake to get rid of the excess water and then used a clean, dry towel to pat them dry.

I let them air dry for a few hours, and voila! They were looking good as new. I was pretty impressed with myself, not gonna lie. So, there you have it – my tried and true method for cleaning jelly shoes. It’s simple, it’s effective, and it doesn’t require any special cleaners or tools. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you!
