Skechers shoes are known for their comfort, performance, and versatile styles. However, with regular use, they tend to accumulate dirt, stains, and odor. Whether you wear them for workouts, casual outings, or everyday errands, proper care is essential to keep them looking and performing their best.
In this guide, we walk you through safe at-home cleaning methods and explain how Ironout’s expert dry cleaning services offer a deeper, safer clean for all types of Skechers shoes.
Why Cleaning Skechers the Right Way Matters
Skechers use a variety of materials like mesh, knit fabric, leather, and synthetic blends. Using the wrong cleaning method can cause:
- Discoloration or fading
- Warped soles and material shrinkage
- Lingering odors or bacterial buildup
- Permanent damage to glue or cushioning
That’s why Ironout uses safe, material-specific techniques to restore your shoes without causing harm.
DIY: How to Clean Skechers Shoes at Home
What You’ll Need
- Soft brush or toothbrush
- Mild detergent (liquid laundry soap or dish soap)
- Bowl of warm water
- Microfiber cloth or sponge
- Mesh laundry bag (for select models)
- Paper towels or shoe trees for reshaping
Step-by-Step Instructions for Fabric or Mesh Skechers
1. Remove Laces and Insoles
Take out the insoles and laces for separate cleaning.
2. Dry Brush Dirt and Debris
Use a soft brush to remove surface dust and dirt, especially around the soles and seams.
3. Prepare a Cleaning Solution
Mix a few drops of mild detergent with warm water in a bowl.
4. Spot Clean Gently
Dip your brush or cloth in the solution and scrub gently in circular motions. Focus on stained or dirty areas.
5. Rinse with Damp Cloth
Wipe off the soap using a clean cloth dampened with plain water.
6. Air Dry Properly
Fill shoes with paper towels or insert shoe trees to help hold shape. Let them dry indoors in the air, out of direct heat or sunlight.
When to Avoid DIY Cleaning
Some materials and conditions require professional care:
- Leather or suede finishes
- Heavy staining or deep odor
- Delicate knit uppers prone to stretching
- Shoes that have lost structure due to water damage
