How to Get Mud Out of White Nylon Mesh Shoes

Even the best of intentions aren't always enough to keep white mesh shoes clean. Inclement weather and time spent outdoors contribute toward stains, including mud stains on your white shoes. Since mud contains protein, you must remove the stain carefully to avoid setting it. All's not lost if your white mesh shoes are covered with mud stains. You can get mud off the surface and out of the mesh with careful cleaning procedures and effective stain-removing supplies.
