Every sneaker requires different techniques for sneaker CLEANing
LEATHER CLEANING
LEATHER SNEAKER CLEANING
Stay away from the hard bristle brush on leather. You don’t want to risk ruining the leather while doing a simple sneaker cleaning. Don’t forget the leather conditioner when you’re done!
MESH CLEANING
MESH SNEAKER CLEANING
The biggest mistake you can make here is watching white mesh dry and start to yellow. Make sure you dry shoes like Concords as quickly as possible after cleaning.
WHITE SNEAKERS
WHITE SNEAKER CLEANING
How do I clean white sneakers? A soft/medium bristle brush and or the magic eraser is your friend, friend…so is dawn dish detergent. Just make sure the dawn does not have a dye in it or you’ll be reaching out to us quickly.
OUTSOLES
OUTSOLE SNEAKER CLEANING
Not everyone cares about clean soles but if you do, toothpicks make for great rock picker outers. For sneaker cleaning, dawn dish detergent and oxi clean are an easy go to here.
SUEDE CLEANING
SUEDE SNEAKER CLEANING
Please invest in a suede brush. I don’t like the suede erasers and if you are going to use cleaner, expect to clean both shoes and the entire shoes or you’re going to be left with two shoes that are now two different colors. I say trust the pros with suede sneaker cleaning jobs.
general cleaning
GENERAL SNEAKER CLEANING
Don’t toss shoes in the washing machine. Shoe laundry bags help make washing machine washing so much more safe. Please watch our sneaker cleaning for some helpful general sneaker cleaning tips!
