Avoid Ruining Your Sneakers with the Cleaning Process

Imagine owning a stunning Yeezy 350 Triple White pair and flaunting it everywhere you go. But the minute you wear them outside, the pair will accumulate dirt, mud, and whatnot. Taking care of your beloved sneakers is necessary to squeeze out peak performance from the pair‌. But are you afraid you will ruin the stylish pair during the cleaning process? Follow the step-by-step guide to keep your sneakers pristine. 

  • Keep a Dry Brush Handy

A shoe brush with soft bristles is the primary item you need to clean your sneakers. The dry brush will help you remove loose dirt from the surface of the shoes. You can also use the brush to clean the outsole and midsole. If you cannot find a shoe brush, an old toothbrush will work perfectly fine.

  • Prepare a Mild Cleaning Solution

If you own a pair of Yeezy 350 Triple White or any other white sneakers, wearing them outside during the monsoon is a nightmare. But nature can be mysterious, and it might end up raining on what was supposed to be a delightful sunny day. Cleaning your shoes after coming home drenched in rain and mud is an intimidating chore.

It will tempt you to scrub your sneakers to remove all the mud stains. However, remember that scrubbing your sneakers might end up ruining them. Only a mild, home-based cleaning solution can come to your rescue in this situation. 

To prepare the cleaning solution, you can mix warm water with a pinch of laundry detergent or dish soap. Mixing shoe-cleaning paste with equal parts of baking soda is perfect for maintaining your white or light-colored sneakers.

  • Remove the Laces

People often ignore the laces while cleaning their sneakers. If you want a squeaky clean pair of sneakers, remove the laces before cleaning. Using a small cleaning solution, massage the laces with your hands. Rinse off all the dirt from the lacs and dab it dry with a soft cloth. 

  • Clean the Soles

You can clean the outsoles of your sneakers by dipping a soft brush in the cleaning solution. You can also use a washcloth to clean the outsole and midsole of your sneakers thoroughly. Dry the sole with a soft cloth once you are done cleaning.

If you wish to clean your insoles, always remember to remove them first. Give your insoles some time to dry before putting them back in the shoes.

Ending Note

At the end of the cleaning process, the air dries the sneakers at room temperature. A pair of Yeezy 350v2 Desert Sage usually takes around eight hours to dry. Wearing your sneakers without letting them dry first will make them stink after a while.
