Cleaning sneakers?

So today DD had a pee accident at school. No biggie...until I noticed they had changed her shoes in addition to her clothes. When I took her shoes out of the bag of soiled clothes they STUNK of urine. Chat Icon
Must have been a humdinger of an accident...and soaked her shoes.
They are brand new too...and weren't cheap. So how can I I clean them?
They are leather sneakers with a lot of glitter, jewels and embellishments, etc. So I can't put them in the washing machine or anything.
Help!

Re: Cleaning sneakers?

i put the boys sneakers in the machine .......

but those ........eh, maybe you can put them in a tied closed pillow case and wash on gentle?
that's the only way I can think of to actually get them CLEAN .


OR, soak them in white vinegar to get the urine smell out ......but I dont' know what that will do to the leather

If you do wash them in the machine...I would put each one in a separate closed pillowcase, so they don't scratch each other...and def wash I cold water on delicate.

The vinegar is a good idea too, except I don't k ow if it will affect the glue that's holding all the decorations on...

Can you hand wash and Febreze them?

Good luck!!

This is what I would do. I'd definitely have to machine wash them to feel like they were really "clean" and cross my fingers that they came out ok.
