   What's the best way to get stains out of white shoes?
   
   I have a pair of Nike running shoes that I'd like to get clean.  What's the best way to get a stain out of them?

   My grandmother's solution was not to remove the stain, but to cover it up with white show polish.

      The shoe is mesh, and cloth, so I don't think polish will work.

   Try Dawn dishwashing soap mixed with a few drops of peroxide. Use an old toothbrush if you have one to scrub. Check a small area first to make sure it doesn't cause yellowing. This has worked for me for almost any stain.

      I just heard to try spraying it with spray and wash and then putting them through the washing machine. Maybe you technique with the washing machine will clean them up even better. Thanks!

   Y. Try a warm paste of Oxyclean.  Mix Oxyclean with enough HOT water to make a paste and put it on the shoe and let it stay for maybe 10 minutes.  You could out your shoe with the paste on it in the microwave --20 seconds.  Heat activates the oxygen bleach, which is what Oxyclean is.
