Here's a disturbing truth in the world of white sneakers: even though the shoes rub and remove all the dirt and plants, a series of dyed and faded white shoelaces will defeat all their hard work. Fortunately, cleaning or replacing cords is a simple and inexpensive task.

Anderson recommends washing the laces by hand by filling a container with water and a few drops of dish soap and soaking the cords before rinsing them and drying them in the air. Bowden likes to add baking soda and bleach to his top-of-the-line cleaner, but he also thinks it's a good idea to "throw them in the washing machine with white".

However, Scepi does not recommend cleaning your white shoelaces. Instead, believe that the right thing to do when your shoestring fades is "just buy new".
