It is necessary
- - a bowl of warm water;
- - toothpaste and an old toothbrush;
- - soft cloth;
- - oxygen bleach;
- - baking soda;
- - powder;
- - nail polish remover.
Instructions
Step 1
Wash your sneakers from dirt and dust in a basin of warm water. Be careful and tidy, especially if your shoes are not sewn. It is advisable not to wet the shoes inside. After this kind of five-minute wash, wipe the shoes with a dry towel. If all the dirt is removed, then you can skip further cleaning the sneakers. Otherwise, you still have an easy job to do.
Step 2
Apply toothpaste to the brush and gently, with soft movements, clean the sneakers from the stubborn dirt that did not disappear during washing. The convenience of using a toothbrush lies in its size and the ability to penetrate into all hard-to-reach dirty corners of your shoes. Then wipe off the remaining toothpaste from the sneakers with a damp cloth.
Step 3
You can also use regular powder. Apply a small amount of the product to a damp cloth and clean the shoe in brisk strokes within a few minutes. Rinse off any remaining powder with water. Instead of powder, you can use regular baking soda, which can also bleach gray shoes a little.
Step 4
If all else fails, use any oxygen bleach. Dilute it in the required proportion with water and soak a cloth in the solution. Then wipe down your sneakers. If you are using a liquid product, you do not need to dilute it, since the sneakers are made of a sufficiently durable material, you should not damage them.
Step 5
Use a damp soapy sponge to wipe the laces, or simply wash them. To clean the sole, apply a small amount of nail polish remover to a cloth and scrub the dirt. Then dry your sneakers completely. To restore shine, apply a white or colorless cream to the shoes.
