How do you clean...?

Question

Well two things really. I have a white corset I wore to a party and I'm not sure how to wash it. And secondly, I have white canvas with white rubber shoes I want to clean and make white again... any suggestions for both?

Answer 1

you can hand wash the corset in luke warm water with a small amt of detergent , and  if there is any stains rub them out with baking soda , and you can also add some baking soda into the water when washing the corset  it will help to keep it white , basically run you some water in the sink , and add your detergent and baking soda , and then put the corset in the sink or where ever you can hand wash the corset  and then hang it up , or lay it flat on a towel to dry or dry it in the dryer on the AIR dry setting , if your washing machine has a hand wash setting you could put it in a garment bag and wash it on the hand wash setting but i would probably hand wash it  especially if it is delicate materials .... and for your shoes  with them being canvas i would say throw them in the washing machine with some towels and add 1 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of bleach or  not even that much , or if you need to hand wash them also get you some cleaner with bleach and spray them and then with a tooth brush you can get them white I wash shoes those two ways all of the time , and to dry the shoes either dry them in the dryer on the AIR dry setting or  put them in a window or out side to dry so they will not shrink
