Does anyone knows how to clean ballet point shoes? ASAP?

Do not use water. This will shrink and ruin the shoes by dissolving the glue. You could lightly try alcohol on a sponge to remove light stains. You can cover with calamine lotion or kryolan pointe shoe aqua.

What is on the shoes?



Usually by the time shoes are dirty, they're so broken down that they need to be replaced.

i usually just use an old toothbrush with soap %26amp; water for mine but yeah like the other person said you might need to replace them
if its just floor "gunk" They have Point shoe make-up that can cover it if you have a show... thats cheaper and faster then replacing semi-ok shoes.



if you don't have a show-- or noone is going to see them outside of class.. leave em' dirty
Use calamine lotion, put it on with cotton buds or an old toothbrush. on your pointes but practice first on an old pair of shoes because if not used properly you can ruin the shine.



make sure you dont scrub too hard or else it will ruin the satin.



hope this helps!!
its really hard to clean them with out messing them up. when you get new piont shoes make sure you buy those slits that go on top of them. that way when you recital comes they are clean
I would recommend soapy water on a soft wash cloth!
cover up with pointe shoe paint for somewhere like discount dance
