1. Regular Cleaning

• Materials Matter: Identify the materials (canvas, leather, suede, etc.) to choose the right cleaning method.
• Brush Off Dirt: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt before it sets in.
• Spot Clean: For stains, use a mild soap solution (like dish soap mixed with water) and a cloth or soft brush.

2. Deep Cleaning

• Machine Wash: If the care label allows, remove laces and insoles, and wash them in a mesh bag on a gentle cycle. Air dry only.
• Hand Wash: For delicate materials, hand wash using a soft brush and mild soap. Rinse carefully.

3. Drying

• Air Dry: Never put sneakers in the dryer. Instead, stuff them with newspaper or a clean cloth to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
• Avoid Direct Heat: Keep them away from radiators or direct sunlight, which can warp or fade materials.

4. Protection

• Waterproofing: Apply a suitable spray to protect against moisture and stains, especially for suede and leather.
• Shoe Trees: Use shoe trees to maintain shape and absorb moisture if you’re storing them for a long time.

5. Storage

• Cool, Dry Place: Store sneakers in a cool, dry area, ideally in their original boxes or on a shoe rack.
• Avoid Piling: Don’t stack shoes directly on top of each other to prevent crushing.

6. Laces and Insoles

• Wash Laces: Regularly remove and wash laces to keep them clean.
• Replace Insoles: Consider replacing worn-out insoles for better comfort and hygiene.

7. Rotation

• Alternate Pairs: Rotate between multiple pairs to reduce wear and tear on any single pair.

8. Minor Repairs

• Fix Loose Soles: Use a strong adhesive to reattach any loose soles or parts.
• Suede Brush: Use a suede brush to restore the nap of suede materials.

Tips:

• Avoid Wearing in Harsh Conditions: Try to keep your sneakers away from mud, heavy rain, or rough terrain.
• Regular Inspections: Check for any signs of wear or damage regularly to address issues early.

By following these tips, you can keep your sneakers looking great for longer!
