WASHING WHITE SPORTS SHOES IN JUST 1 MINUTE SHOULD NOT BE MISSED

Sports shoes, sneakers... are essential items that everyone should own at least one pair because of their convenience and fashion. However, after a period of use, shoes are easily dirty and have an unpleasant odor. This is the reason why you need to know 4 tips to wash sports shoes, wash white sneakers extremely simply that Celidior will share here!

1. Washing shoes with baking soda and vinegar

In the effective and simple solutions for washing sports shoes and sneakers, not mentioning baking soda is a big omission, especially when combined with vinegar. For washing fabric or mesh sports shoes, this is a combination that will surprise you with its results! For this washing method, you only need 60g of baking soda, 125ml of white vinegar, a spray bottle and a soft toothbrush to start cleaning the shoes.

How to wash white sneakers in just 1 minute:

• Mix baking soda with vinegar in a 2:3 ratio (2 parts baking soda, 3 parts vinegar).
• Then use a brush or soft cloth to rub the mixture onto the dirty fabric surface.
• Finally, wash the shoes with clean water and dry them in a cool place until dry.

In fact, using baking soda can only clean shoes with easy-to-remove stains such as old mud. For stains such as yellow stains, this method will not be very effective.

2. Wash shoes with toothpaste

Using toothpaste is a popular way to clean shoes. With just a little toothpaste and a toothbrush, you can easily clean your shoes to look like new.

How to wash sports shoes, sneakers with toothpaste:

• Take a little toothpaste and rub it on the stain.
• Then use a used toothbrush dipped in warm water, then brush in a circular motion to remove the stain as cleanly as possible.
• Leave for about 15 minutes then use a damp cloth to wipe clean. You can repeat this step to ensure the white shoes are as clean as you like.

3. Clean your shoes with just an eraser

You may be surprised to find that an eraser is also one of the “saviors” of your white shoes. The above methods can only be applied to fabric shoes.

For shoes made of leather or imitation leather, you can completely use an eraser to remove stains. This method does not require rinsing with water, it is fast, effective and saves time.

4. Use lemon to clean shoes

Lemon contains acid, which is considered an extremely effective natural cleaning agent. Dirty mud stains on shoes will disappear quickly by rubbing with lemon. This is a simple, effective and cost-effective method. However, you should only apply this method to new stains, and lemon cannot remove yellow stains due to its weak acidity.

How to do:

• Cut the lemon in half and rub or squeeze the lemon juice directly onto the stain and scrub with a brush.
• After rubbing the lemon juice evenly onto the surface, leave the shoes for 15-20 minutes for the acid to take full effect before washing the shoes with clean water.

In addition, Celidior has some notes for you when washing your shoes at home:

• Do not wash with a washing machine: The washing and rinsing modes of the washing machine often have strong force due to the motor system. Therefore, the shoes will easily change from their original shape such as shrinking, twisting, etc.
• Do not use a heater or dryer to dry shoes: The soles of some sports shoes and sneakers are often made of rubber. At high temperatures, the rubber will change shape, melt and stick, causing the shoe sole to lose its shape and damage the sole
• Do not use detergents with too high a bleach content: Detergents with too high a chlorine concentration will cause the shoe fabric to discolor, fade or fade.
• Do not use a brush that is too hard to scrub the shoes: A hard brush combined with strong scrubbing can scratch the shoe fabric, causing the fabric to fluff.

If your shoes have stubborn stains such as yellow stains or problems with the soles after long-term use, you should find a professional shoe care unit like Extrim.
