Cleaning white sneakers with baking soda
Baking soda is a versatile agent for cleaning. It is used in the bathroom and kitchen, but you can also use it to clean your white sneakers.
What you need for this is a bowl with a little water, soda, and a toothbrush.
Put water and soda in the bowl and stir until a paste forms. Take a toothbrush, dip it in the paste, and use it to clean the shoe. Do this by making a gentle circular motion.
The aim is to polish the mixture into your shoe. So don't scrub, but make circular movements.
Treat every spot and corner of the shoe. Once done, you can use a slightly damp cloth to remove the foam and soda residue from your shoe. Et Voila, your shoes look bright white again.
Cleaning white leather shoes
You can clean white leather shoes perfectly with a damp cloth. Do not put them under the tap as this may cause the leather to absorb too much moisture, resulting in small cracks.
Do you have stubborn stains? Then use a magic sponge (melamine sponge). This sponge has a very dense structure. It is extremely suitable for removing stains from your white sneakers that you can't get out with a brush or cloth.
Cleaning white suede sneakers
To clean white suede shoes, first use a brush to remove coarse dirt such as sand. For small spots, mix baking soda with a little water to make a paste and apply it to the affected area.
Once the paste has dried, brush it off with the same brush. To protect your white suede shoes from dirt and water, use a dirt and water-repellent spray. Spray the shoes evenly and let them dry before wearing.
Repairing damage
Is your leather white sneaker damaged? Then polishing is of no use. In this case, a shoe pen with shoe dye will be a solution. With these pens, you can easily correct or mask small damages. However, it is only for small damages as it is not a repair tool.
What can also be a solution is good old-fashioned shoe polish. Just make sure the colour matches well and treat both shoes to prevent colour differences.
Cleaning white canvas sneakers
Want to clean your white fabric shoes? Well, the task is not as complicated as all the other options you've encountered above. You simply do this in the washing machine.
Of course, pre-treat by removing coarse dirt with a brush or cloth. After washing, air dry the shoes. And for white soles, use white toothpaste with a toothbrush.
Do not use fabric softener as this can be bad for your shoe soles. If you have stubborn stains, pre-treat with Vansish Oxi Action or soak them in Biotex.
After washing, you can speed up the drying process by stuffing newspapers into your shoes. Note, only wear your shoes again when they are completely dry, otherwise, they might start to smell terribly!
Canvas shoes often have a coating that ensures your feet don't get soaking wet when it rains. If you put your shoes in the washing machine, this coating will be washed off.
Did you accidentally wash off the coating? You can reapply it yourself by spraying your shoes with a water-repellent and protective spray.

Laces in the washing machine
The laces of the shoes are often the first to get dirty. They are usually made of cotton and are real dirt magnets. The best way to get them clean quickly is to simply put them in the washing machine.
If they are really very dirty, you can soak them first in a stain remover like Vanish Oxi Action.
Are they so stained that you can't get them completely white again? Then simply replace your laces.
Fresh shoes and fresh feet
Have you done the above and are your shoes completely bright white again? Then also make sure they smell fresh again. For this, of course, you use the products of PediFris®.
Do not use deodorant as it only masks the smell, for fresh shoes use the remedy against sweaty feet PediFris®. And for 100% fresh feet, treat with PediSpray®
