How To Clean Dirty Sneakers - Quick & Easy | White, Woven, Knit, Midsole, Upper, Laces
About this video
Weston teaches a comprehensive method for cleaning sneakers, covering the tools needed and step-by-step techniques for both quick midsole cleaning and deep full-sneaker cleaning. She demonstrates how to properly care for different sneaker materials including leather, canvas, and woven fabrics, and recommends a maintenance schedule to keep sneakers looking fresh.
Key takeaways
- Weston recommends using a magic eraser sponge for midsoles, a synthetic shoe brush for general uppers, and a boar bristle brush for premium leathers or woven materials
- Weston suggests using fragrance-free, dye-free, non-toxic cleaning solution (either dish soap or her preferred Jason Markk solution) to prevent yellowing
- Weston advises cleaning sneakers every one to two weeks and notes that woven uppers like Flyknits should be dabbed dry rather than wiped to prevent fraying
