Just right in the shoe, and then I dump it out and wipe the shoe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-baby-shoes#post-1691856 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 19:40:31 +0000 T-Mom 1691856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The shoes I can, I wash in the washing machine... Includes canvas shoes, crocs, mesh sneakers. And air dry in a place that gets good air flow or air dry in the dryer, otherwise they may stink up again. For my DS who is sweaty I try to only buy those types of shoes. I use a lingerie bag and wash cold on gentle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-baby-shoes#post-1691734 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 18:17:27 +0000 sunny 1691734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dang it... The weather report calls for clouds &amp; rain the next few days. </p> <p>I did try some rubbing alcohol on the shoes last night and they smelled way less this morning. I'll have to see if they are stinky again tonight. </p> <p>I had no idea shoes could be washed in the washing machine. I'm guessing run them through cold water so they don't shrink/melt? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-baby-shoes#post-1690632 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 10:22:33 +0000 pinkcupcake 1690632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: genius! Must try on MY shoes :)</p> <p>Her shoes don't get stinky but when they are dirty, I usually soak in soapy water and then leave them to dry in the sun. Or I'll put them in a pillowcase and run them through the washer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-baby-shoes#post-1690608 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 10:11:38 +0000 septca 1690608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What @looch: said. </p> <p>I also run DD's shoes through the washer and then air dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-baby-shoes#post-1690595 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 10:01:09 +0000 looch 1690595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kitty litter, in sheer pantyhose...sound totally nuts, but absorbs odors really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-baby-shoes#post-1690591 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 09:55:57 +0000 autumnlove 1690591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I would just try sunning them out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cleaning-baby-shoes#post-1690006 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 21:21:31 +0000 sunny 1690006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has stinky feet and I am guessing it's starting from her shoes because she has sweaty feet and sometimes takes her socks off at daycare.</p> <p>What is the best way to kill the slightly sour odor? Can I wipe them down with a paper towel dipped in white vinegar or is there a better way (and will it make it smell more sour?)? Rubbing alcohol maybe? </p>
