The surest way to cleanse any converse is at hand. First remove the laces and brush off dust and dirt with a soft brush . Do not forget the grooves and crevices along the rubber pad and the spring.

Mix some dish soap like Dawn in a cup of warm water. Dip a soft cloth or brush (or toothbrush ) into the solution and gently wipe the entire shoe, including the sole and toes. Put the cords in the same solution for a bath. Then take a cloth soaked in clear water and clean the shoes to rinse them well.

Fill your Converse shoes with white paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain the shape when drying. Allow sports shoes to dry at room temperature, protect from heat and sun. Rinse the cables, allow the water to drain and let them dry completely. Ready!

Depending on whether your Converse is canvas or leather, you should use two different cleaning agents that you probably already have in your closet: hydrogen peroxide and baking soda .

For canvas shoes, immerse the brush in hydrogen peroxide and rub it in. If there are stains on the leather, dip a damp brush into the baking powder and rub in gently. Finally, clean both materials with a clean damp cloth to remove stubborn stains and air dry.

The brand does not exactly say why, but we suspect it because it can not predict how aggressive the washing machine can be or damage the shoes. Converse shoes are easy to clean by hand. We therefore think that this is the right way.

How do I keep my White Converse white?

Spray your white sneakers with a dirt and dirt repellent spray before first use and after each cleaning to keep them clean longer. The GH Cleaning Lab loves the Kiwi Sneaker Protector for canvas and leather shoes. One more round? If you do not have time to clean your shoes properly, you should at least immediately clean the stains with a mild soap and water mixture to facilitate later removal.
