1x Mr Clean Magic Eraser pad (sold in packs, $3 for 2)

1x bar of detergent-free soap ($1 per bar – recommended brands: Ivory or Jergen’s Mild)

1x microfiber cloth or fine cotton rag

1x roll of paper towels

Supply of warm water

Steps:

1. Wet a paper towel with warm water and wipe down the outsoles. Your goal is to remove any outside layers of dirt or particulates, not polish the foam.

2. Activate the Magic Eraser in warm water. Squeeze until damp. Then, scrub the outsoles in long strokes. You should see dark streaks on the Magic Eraser pad along where you’ve wiped.

3. Wipe the soles clean. It’s perfectly fine if the Magic Eraser pad ends up shredding; just use the paper towel to pick up the small foam pieces. If your pad is still intact after cleaning both shoes’ outsoles, use the Magic Eraser to wipe the underside of each shoe.
