Cleaning Supplies

First, you’re going to need a few things. This includes a soft brush, shoe cleaning serum, clean and dry cloth, hard brush, as well as a toothbrush for cleaning the smaller nooks and crannies of your soles.

Once you have this stuff gathered, it’s time to get started.

Cleaning Your Sneakers Uppers

Let’s start with your uppers. Keep in mind that your uppers could be leather or knit, and each will require its own cleaning method.

For leather uppers, dilute a small amount of cleaning serum in cool water. Mix the solution with your soft brush, then apply with the same brush using circular motions. If you have trouble removing tough stains, gently use the hard brush to get them out.

For knit uppers, use the same solution. Dip a second soft cloth into the mixture and squeeze out any excess water. Start gently scrubbing away any stains you find, repeating as many times as needed. If you run into a tough stain, go ahead and use the soft brush on them. Then gently pat the uppers dry with a dry microfiber cloth and set them aside to air dry.

For best results, stuff the shoe with a balled-up cloth to keep the upper from collapsing during the cleaning process.

Cleaning Your Insoles

Remove your insoles. Fill a sink with hot water and add a few drops of cleaning serum, then dip your soft brush in the solution and scrub your insoles with a circular motion. Next, go ahead and rinse them off, and set aside to dry.

Cleaning Your Soles

For your soles, dip the hard brush in your cleaning solution and brush back and forth the soles of your shoes. Make sure to get into all the small cracks and crannies.

Once the soles are clean, let them dry thoroughly before wearing them.

Cleaning Knit Shoelaces

Clear off as much debris as possible. Add a few drops of liquid soap in a bucket of water, and allow your shoelaces to sink to the bottom of the bucket. Now agitate the water for several minutes.

Repeat this several times, then rinse your shoelaces and let them air dry.
