Sneaker cleaning

Sneakers. Kicks. Trainers. Chucks.

Whatever you call your sneakers, you love them, and Simply Laundry can help keep your favourite pair of whatever you call them looking sharp and new for years.

There’s nothing better than slipping into a brand new pair of sneakers, white ones look especially good. The trouble is, new sneakers don’t stay looking new for long. They get dirty, scuffed, and generally kicked around. No matter how much you love them, a new looking sneaker has a very short shelf life. Now, you could put in the work to clean your sneakers every day, and if you have a life leisure and can dedicate that kind of time to sneaker upkeep, Nike.com has some tips on how to keep your shoes in like-new condition. But Simply Laundry has a better idea, send your kicks to us and we’ll have them back to you in under 48 hours looking good as new – no elbow grease required (unless you count a mouse click)!

So, how does one go about cleaning shoes? Well, it’s a process. Courtesy of Nike.com, here are the steps to effectively cleaning your sneakers and insoles:

How To Clean Your Shoes

1. Remove excess dirt first using a soft-bristled brush (shoe brush or old toothbrush) to clean the outsole

2. Mix warm water and a small amount of laundry detergent to create a slightly soapy mixture

3. Apply a small amount of the water/detergent mixture to a sponge, soft cloth or soft brush, and clean affected areas

4. Apply a small amount of warm water to another sponge or soft cloth to remove any excess detergent

5. Air dry the shoes at room temperature

6. Repeat these steps to attempt to remove persistent stains

Cleaning Insoles To Reduce Shoe Odour

1. Remove the insoles from your shoes

2. Follow the same cleaning steps listed above for cleaning shoes

3. Air dry completely before putting the insoles back in the shoes

4. If these steps don’t reduce odour, replace the insoles
