Cleaning Sneakers - Procedure

In a few simple steps, our Sneakers will be as good as new!

Remove coarse dirt
Using the soft bristle brush, remove dust, soil or other debris from the surface of the shoe. If there are particularly stubborn stains, you can use an old toothbrush to gently scrub.

Prepare the cleaning solution
In a basin, mix warm water with a small amount of neutral detergent or a spoonful of bicarbonate.
For white shoes, a mixture of bicarbonate and water can be particularly effective.

Clean the shoe
Dip the sponge or cloth in the solution and wring it out well.
Gently scrub the surface of the shoe, paying attention to the dirtiest areas. For the soles, you can use an old toothbrush to remove the most stubborn dirt.

Rinse
Re-soak the sponge in clean water and wring it out well.
Rub the sponge over the shoe to remove any remaining detergent.

Dry
Gently pat the shoe dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture. Let the shoes air dry, away from direct heat sources. Never put sneakers in the dryer!

Additional Tips

Do not immerse the shoes in water
Excess water could damage the materials.

Treat stains immediately
The longer a stain remains on the shoe, the more difficult it will be to remove.

Protect sneakers
After cleaning them, you can apply a waterproofing spray to protect them from future stains.

Clean regularly
A regular cleaning will keep your sneakers in great condition for longer. Clean sneakers by material:

Leather
Use specific products for cleaning leather and apply a nourishing cream after cleaning.

Fabric
Follow the general steps, but avoid rubbing too hard to avoid damaging the fibers.

Suede
Use a special brush for suede and a delicate detergent.
