How to wash sneakers

You come home from the best party and your shoes look so dirty it's tempting to throw them away. I'm sure you were there. Wait, man. Enough with the exaggeration. It is absolutely possible to clean your shoes without damaging them. Trust me.



Start with the laces: Pull them out to make cleaning easier. And never put in the washing machine. For example, if you choose, place the laces in a pillowcase or one of these wash bags. It prevents damage to the laces.

Then remove the insoles. They can also be washed separately. So you can easily enter them into the washing machine. If you want to be extra careful, use a toothbrush and a neutral soap.

If you smell something funny on the insoles (even after washing), you can put them in a box of sodium bicarbonate for a few hours.

Then fill a large basin with water (lukewarm or room temperature) and some detergent. Mix well to dilute. Dip the sneakers into the pelvis and leave them there for about an hour. In this way, the detergent softens stubborn dirt and facilitates the entire cleaning process considerably.

Then use a small brush or sponge to clean the sneakers. Rub her gently. It is not necessary to clean the inside of the sneakers, as water and detergents together are already effective to remove dirt.

For this reason, I found in my searches, that the rinse should be done in the same basin (of course, with clean water) or with a damp cloth. Personally, it is better to use water as the fabric of the sneakers absorb little soap. And so it does not get stiff, you should remove everything.

Some people recommend to dry in the sun. But I do not agree that this is the best option as the sun could "burn" the fabric or even fade the colors. Therefore, I recommend removing a good amount of water with a dry cloth and then drying the sneakers in a shady and ventilated place.

Forget the dryer because its heat could deform your shoes. Many people put paper on their sneakers to absorb more water. That's a good idea too.

How to clean white canvas shoes

How to clean white canvas shoes We all have these shoes that take us everywhere, and those Converse were those shoes for me. From baseball games to weekend farmers' markets, they go miles and miles of heat, sun, puddles, snow, mud, etc. Damn, they were even a few times too often in the grip of my dogs. I think the funniest thing about them is the fact that last year I tried to give them that "lived" look. I spent a lot of time and energy jumping into mud puddles to get those spots! Am I crazy about it?
