My white sneakers are really dusty in the mesh parts - looking for a quick way to clean them up a bit. Any ideas? Thanks!

Magic eraser? Duh. Just saw that they were dusty in the mesh part. High pressure sprayer?

I've always thrown mine in the washer. That seems to be the only way I can get the mesh part clean.

I throw all of my sneakers in the washing machine.

Washing machine. I've thrown DD's in there a bunch of times.

I put mine in the washing machine with a bunch of older towels. They don't batter about inside the drum as much as they would if they were on their own. Otherwise, the noise can be quite disturbing!

I don't feel I have time to wash them in the washer, need to wear them for a long travel day tomorrow. But if I did throw them in on another occasion, I love the idea of adding old towels.
Thanks for your feedback!

If they're just dusty can you vacuum them?

A toothbrush and a small bowl of warm water with some laundry detergent or dish soap or hand soap mixed in-- whatever's closest to clear or white. Just a couple of drops. Agitate the water to mix the soap in a bit. Dip the brush in the water and scrub with small circular motions.
Use a clean paper towel moistened with clean water the blot off the soapy water. Blot again with a dry towel. If you want, once you have cleaned them, toss them in the dryer for a bit.
I'd start along an edge on an interior section and test it to make sure it will clean rather than just smear the dirt.
But I did just have to clean some white alfredo sauce off of my black fabric car interior, and this is how I cleaned the spots. But that is a little more forgiving than your white sneakers.
