Tips on How to take care of your favourite Sneakers



1.       Use a Toothbrush

This instrument is essential in the cleaning or restoration of your sneakers as this would ensure that the material is treated gently and there is detail especially when cleaning the stitching.


2.       Spray on Protectants

To extend the life of your sneakers you can use a good Suede Protector or Spray-on Water repellant which can last up to 8-10 months and can be found in various brand names like Aldo, New Balance, etc.


3.       Wet Wipes

It may sound a bit foolish but having a pack of wet wipes handy is no joke in the sneaker world. These can work instantly if something drops on your prized possession or if someone happens to step on them. It can instantly be wiped of so as not to let the dirt set into a permanent stain.


4.       Dryer Sheets

After a while some sneakers may start to ‘kick’, so once you take them off you can leave dryer sheets inside them overnight so the good smell will oust the bad one.


5.       Keep your laces tight

If laces are dirty then the whole sneaker looks dirty so to keep those white laces looking fresh and clean you can soak them in warm water laced with bleach and swirl them around don’t pull or wring them as this may cause the laces to stretch or get bent out of shape.
