It’s interesting that most of us routinely wash or dry clean our other clothing, such as shirts, pants, jackets, hats, and suits, but rarely clean our designer sneakers.
The most common reasons why people don’t clean their sneakers are laziness and fear of germs.
To begin with, shoes aren’t the type of clothing that can be washed in the washing machine.
2. Sneakers should never be put through a dry cleaning cycle.
Both of these explanations are incorrect. Now, let’s take a look at the real one.
Homemade Methods for Maintaining the Condition of Your Designer Shoes
Indeed, it is true that high-end sneaker brands cannot be washed in a conventional home appliance. In fact, it’s not a good idea to wash sneakers in a washing machine at all. Cleaning your designer sneakers with harsh products, such as undiluted detergent or bleach, is not something that is encouraged by the brands that make them.
For that reason, I’ve compiled some tips for cleaning sneakers at home.
First, take out the shoelaces and inner soles if possible before cleaning.
Dry Brush – Remove dirt from the shoe’s outsole, midsole, and uppers with a soft-bristled shoe brush. Shoe brushes are handy, but if you don’t have one, a toothbrush with soft bristles will do in a pinch.
Third, wash and dry after removing excess dirt with a clean, soft-bristled brush or cloth dipped in a cleaning solution of warm water and a few drops of mild laundry detergent. Dry the inner and outer soles after cleaning them with a damp cloth. Brush or cloth the uppers clean, and then blot dry with a microfiber towel.
- Clean the shoelaces and insoles. Apply the cleaning solution to the laces, rub, then rinse and dry with a clean cloth. When cleaning the insoles, use a soft bristled brush and a soft cloth to dry them off.
