How Do You Clean White shoelaces?

Okay, so I have a pair of white/black Adidas Superstars and the laces got a bit dirty...how do I wash them to make them white again? Throw the laces in the washing machine? I heard that makes them all wrinkled up though...

Wash them with your white clothes and some bleach, or buy new ones

Man real talk

Get you one of them big cups from burger king....fill it up wit hot water, bleach and laundry soap....drop the laces in it and get you a old toothbrush to move the laces around in the water. after you do that for a lil bit take the laces and scrub the brush on the areas that did not get clean...trust me it works!

depends where you look, id say try a foot locker first. they usually got a large selection of laces

If you're that cheap, hot water and bar soap is the remedy.

Well, I mean, it's for a pair of Adidas Superstars...it's a pretty popular shoe...they should have the matching laces...

!! THAT..........u get a big[..] cup fill it with hot water and get some oxyclean......put the oxyclean in the water and mix it up....throw ur laces in there and mix them around for a few minutes then leave them in there for like 15 more minutes.......then rinse them off and they should be fresh white again

only a few footlockers carry adidas laces...their laces are normally either too fat or too thin. Try journeys

Thanx for all the input...I guess I'll try looking for a new set of laces...

Laces are $1.07 'round my way...
