How to clean different types of sneakers
1. The best way to clean shoes on mesh:
If there are shoes on mesh, you should use a brush to dip some soap or something. It cannot be soap that is too alkaline. Then gently brush the surface a few times, and brush the heel or the edges back and forth several times in the same way. After these steps are completed, sprinkle clean water on the shoes with your hands. After you finish them, you can use a clean cloth to wipe the shoes clean. Then the most important thing is to wrap toilet paper on the surface and around the shoes when air-drying on the balcony, because it has strong water absorption. Doing so can prevent the shoes from turning yellow after air-drying.
General sports shoes can be washed with water, but not with laundry detergent, because they contain phosphorus, which can easily turn yellow. Use a toothbrush to dip a toothpaste brush on the heel, and then put a layer of white paper on the upper after washing, so as to ensure that the shoes do not change color after drying. If you are genuine leather high-end sneakers, you should use professional leather cleaners, which can also be sent to a local regular dry cleaner for cleaning, but you should still observe the cleaning yourself and understand what cleaning agent to use.
2. The best way to clean white sneakers:
White sneakers become dirty after wearing them a few times. The white sneakers washed with conventional methods always turn yellow, which makes people very upset. Cleaning with beer can make white sneakers white easily. Wash the shoes with soap or laundry detergent. Soak the washed sneakers in beer for 3 minutes. Take the sneakers to the balcony and place them in a cool place, and cover them with toilet paper on the upper and dry them.
Tips: Washed white sneakers must not be exposed to the sun, but should be placed in a cool place.
3. Cleaning of natural fiber or synthetic fiber sneakers:
Soak the sneakers, use footwear cleaning and soft brush to clean the dirt, print them dry with cloth or thick tissue after water, and then stabilize the shoe shape and dry naturally, but avoid direct sunlight; if there is a large area of dirt on the shoes, soak the shoes in water, clean with soft brush, and remember to use a hard brush.
4. Clean natural leather sneakers:
First, wipe with a clean soft cloth (preferably white) dipped in a small amount of leather footwear detergent and wiped it on the upper to remove dirt; 2. Use another clean soft cloth to evenly apply an appropriate amount of leather care ointment on the upper, and then polish the leather surface. If there are stubborn stains (such as oil stains), you can first wet the stained part), then use leather footwear detergent and soft brush to remove the stain, and then print it with a cloth or thick tissue to stabilize the shoe shape and air dry naturally to avoid direct sunlight.
2. Cleaning steps for sports shoes
1. Soak the shoes: Throw the shoes into the basin, put 2/3 of the clean water in the basin, and the washing temperature must not be higher than 45 degrees Celsius, so that the shoes are soaked with water. For general mesh shoes, you can add some washing powder to the water. Note: Never let your shoes soak in water. You should not throw them in a basin and ignore them like soaking dirty clothes. You will only wash them after half a day. This way, your shoes will easily be glued after drying.
2. Wash the upper and shoes: Use a used toothbrush, but don't have the old hair curled. In fact, you can also buy a new toothbrush with softer hair for more than 3 yuan to make a special shoe wash brush. It's okay to use a shoe brush, but I think it's okay if it's professional track and field shoes, but if you have regular running shoes, it will be too damaging to the mesh. Use a toothbrush to brush a little soap, then brush the mesh surface, and you can also brush it inside. By the way, you must remove the shoelaces before washing shoes. Just rub the shoelaces with soap and rub them with a handful of soap. You must also brush the shoe tongue with a toothbrush.
3. Washing the soles: This is very easy. Use a shoe brush to brush on the sole first and then the soles. If you have any small stones, you can use a toothpick to pick them clean in the glue gap of the sole.
4. Swing water: You don’t want to put it in the washing machine. You can squeeze out some water from the front and back heels of the shoes with a thumb. Then grab the sole in the middle, and the heel should be in front. The toe of the shoe is facing behind you, and start swinging your arm forward and back a few times. The more times you throw it, the better the shoe.
5. Repeat the shoes 1, 2 times: Pour out the dirty water and change the clean water, soak the shoes in the water, and use a toothbrush to clean the shoes without brushing soap. The skin surface can only be brushed with clean water, and no detergent will be added, otherwise the skin will turn yellow and crack, and do not come into contact with organic reagents and oil solutions.
6. Dry: You can wear a few holes with your shoelaces, then tie them to a triangle clothes rack, and hang a shoe on one side to hang it in a place where it is ventilated but not exposed to the sun. It is best to support the inside of the shoes with a piece of paper or shoe support to avoid serious deformation.
