How to clean my pointe shoes?

Question

The fire alarms went off at my dance school today during my class, we were all ushered out of the building, and onto the grounds,when we were finally let back in our shoe pointe shoes were really dirty, as it had just rained morning. Does anyone know how i can clean them up?

Answer 1

take a baby wipe, wring it out to remove excess moisture, and wipe down your shoes, including the ribbons and elastics.

for the inside (if it's necessary), put baby powder into them and leave it overnight.  shake it out in the morning.

hope it'll help!

Answer 2

i use tide to go stick for small stains, but they also have special "dirt erasers" that you can buy at a dancwear shop,

and i dont really worry about the platform and shank because no one sees that, but if you are worried than i would say to use a mr. magic eraser and gently rub out the stains.

hope this helps! (:

Answer 3

i think I answered this exact question a couple of weeks ago.....

you can't really clean them. don't put them through the washing machine. you could get a damp cloth and try to scrub off the dirt..but there's really not much you can do.

Answer 4

Whatever you do don't use pure water like you can with regular street shoes. It'll change the shape. Trying using something like baby butt wipes or a very damp wash cloth.

Answer 5

try using a clean white eraser, thats what takes the scuff marks off of my pointe shoes, also u can buy pointe shoe covers like for when ur dancing in them to keep them clean, hope this helps, good luck =)

Answer 6

i use stain stick and for the box when the fabric starts to get dirty they sell fbric to stick over it to make it look better. if you have rubber soles you can wash them with soap and then cover them in baby powder :) have fun dancing :)
