How to remove mud stains from shoes

To remove mud stains from shoes, you’ll need to assess the shoe material. For rubber, leather and traditional non-fabric shoes, such as football boots or wellingtons, simply hose the mud off with water. If the mud has dried, use something sharp to remove any chunks, being careful not to damage the material, and wipe clean with a dry cloth. For fabric shoes, like canvas trainers, simply throw into your machine with a scoop of Vanish powder to clean. Specialty materials, such as suede, should always be cleaned by a professional.
