How to Clean Soft Ballet Slippers

Ballet slippers or shoes quickly become soiled with frequent dancing and need appropriate cleaning to preserve their look. It is best to clean your ballet shoes regularly to ensure that they are maintained in the best of condition. If you are an amateur dancer, cleaning will help extend the life of your shoes. If you are a professional or very frequent dancer, your shoes will possibly wear out before regular cleaning can even be an issue but gauge this using your own commonsense and judgment.

 

Put canvas ballet shoes in the washer. Add mild detergent. Only ever wash on the delicate cycle and remove before spinning. Allow to dry on a towel suspended above a clothes drying rack.
Hand wash leather ballet shoes. Never put them in the washer or they will be completely ruined.
Wear the shoes in while still slightly damp.While still damp, wear your leather ballet shoes around the house until they dry completely, so that they will form to your foot. This will help them to fit better and last longer.
*Leather ballet shoes can be cleaned using a combination of an old toothbrush (with soft bristles), water, and a few drops of dishwashing soap (like Dawn(R)--not Cascade(R). Dip the toothbrush in the water and soap, and gently scrub the shoe. Wipe the dirt off with a lightly dampened cloth.
