Mix a bit of dish soap into a small bowl of water. Dip the microfiber towel in the mixture and use it to gently wipe any visible dirt or salt stains off the surface of the shoe.

STEP TWO

Add baking soda to the water and dish soap mixture and stir it up with the toothbrush. Use the toothbrush to scrub the soles of the shoe until no visible debris remains. Wipe away the soap and grime with the microfiber towel, or carefully rinse off the sole of the shoe under running water.
