A few years ago we did Spain on a Budget and the one keepsake I wanted to walk away with was a pair of espadrilles. Not any espadrilles. The ones from the famous store in Madrid, Casa Hernanz. A few summers later my beige striped espadrilles are slightly dirty. Recently I was talking to a friend who is a new mother and was staying with us a couple weekends ago.
She was telling me that for the reusable diapers the best way to get them white is drying them in the sun! This was genius and gave me a great idea.

Stir the mixture until the soap dissolves. You should see a few bubbles in the cleansing solution, but it won't foam up a lot. Keep in mind that heavily fragranced soaps may scent your shoes for a few days.
Pour a tablespoon of mild detergent, such as Woolite or unscented dish soap, into your bowl. Add two cups of water. Wipe each shoe with a dry cotton cloth to remove as much loose dirt as you can. Dip the end of your toothbrush into the soapy water, then gently scrub the jute soles only, making sure to get all of the dirt out of the cracks between the cord.
Rinse off the soap with a cotton cloth slightly dampened with lukewarm water. Clean the upper of canvas espadrilles. Dip the corner of a cotton cloth into the soapy water. Use it to scrub spots on the fabric by rubbing in a circular motion. Use a clean damp cloth to rinse off the soap. Cork is due to its nature very easy to clean. Dirt stains are best removed with a damp cloth.
The material should not be too wet. After cleaning, let the material dry properly. Take some olive oil to grease the cork fabric once a month.
As a result, the cork remains smooth and cracking can be prevented. If you have sewn your fabric espadrilles, you should use a cleaning brush to remove dust and dirt. For the removal of stains or debris it is recommended to apply cleaning foam.
