How to Keep White Sneakers Clean
Care starts with the material. Check the instructions for your particular pair before choosing a cleaner or protector; products suitable for one upper may not suit another.
Start with loose surface dirt
Use a gentle approach and the tools recommended for your pair. Avoid scrubbing delicate finishes or applying an unfamiliar cleaner across the whole shoe.
Check before treating a mark
Follow the product’s care guidance. If a treatment is recommended, test it on a small, hidden area first. If you are unsure, ask our team before trying it.
Give each pair space
Let footwear dry before storage and keep it away from direct heat. Do not machine wash unless the care instructions for that exact product permit it.
