Put them in a pillowcase. Make sure you tie it with an elastic band or something. Won't damage your shoes or your drum then! :D

Most trainers will probably benifet from a damp cloth and some water to light rinse with. Not sure if that will apply to you because most trainers tend to be made of lots of varied materials...some of which might not like being washed as such

You can buy trainer cleaning products. We used to sell trainer whitener in my shop, but not anymore. We also used to do other shoe cleaning products. I have some Sof-Sole gel cleaner which worked ok on my Adidas Tuscanys. Although a bit of dirt adds character to white trainers, and stops you mathcing with the Ecko tracksuit-clad, baseball-cap wearing scum who like to have their trainers gleaming white :D

Could work, Swarfega will remove anything. Used to use it at my dad's factory.

Edit: For washing hands and machinery clean of oil, not trainer cleaning I might add :)

Its always worrying asking one of the till girls in Tesco where you can get/if she has Cif.... ;)


Use a solvent, swarfega has been mentioned should work. I just use soapy water and an old toothbrush. :)
