Regular cleaning can help your footwear look better and stay comfortable for longer. The safest cleaning method depends on the material and construction of the product.
Remove Loose Dirt First
Brush or wipe away loose dust and dirt before using water. This prevents surface particles from spreading while cleaning.
Use Mild Cleaning
For washable synthetic footwear, use mild soap and water with a soft cloth or soft brush. Avoid aggressive chemicals unless the manufacturer specifically recommends them.
Clean the Outsole
Pay special attention to the outsole because dirt can collect in the tread. A soft brush can help remove debris from grooves.
Rinse Carefully
If the material is designed to be washable, rinse away soap thoroughly. Avoid excessive soaking when the product is not designed for it.
Dry Naturally
Allow footwear to dry naturally in a ventilated area. Avoid excessive direct heat because high temperatures can affect some materials and adhesives.
Clean Regularly
Small amounts of regular cleaning are generally easier than trying to remove heavy accumulated dirt later.
