Whether you are a sneaker lover or a fan of eco-friendly shoes, it is essential to take care of your vegan sneakers to extend their lifespan. At Mood Walk, we are committed to offering you durable and stylish sneakers, and we give you some tips on how to properly maintain them.
Cleaning Vegan Sneakers: Step by Step
Make sure you have a stiff-bristled brush, a microfibre cloth, sneaker soap or Marseille soap available for gentle cleaning of your vegan sneakers.
Step 1: Cleaning the laces
Start by removing the laces from your sneakers. Lightly scrub the laces with a brush to remove any dirt and residue that has built up. You can also soak them in soapy water for a deeper clean. Once clean, rinse them with clean water and let them air dry.
Step 2: Applying the soap to your vegan sneakers
Generously apply a special sneaker soap or simply a natural soap such as Marseille soap to your vegan sneakers. Use the same brush as for the laces to spread the soap over the entire surface of your sneakers. Pay particular attention to the dirtiest or most stained areas.
Step 3: Gently scrub your sneakers
Using the brush, gently rub the soap onto your vegan sneakers in circular motions. Be careful not to scrub too hard to avoid damaging the materials. Focus on areas where the dirt is most embedded.
Step 4: Wiping your sneakers
Once you're done cleaning, take a clean, damp cloth to wipe down your vegan sneakers and remove any soap residue. Make sure to dry the sneakers thoroughly, especially the seams and creases. Then let them air dry in a ventilated area.
Step 5: Reattaching the laces
Finally, put your laces back in place and admire the result: white sneakers as clean as the first day!
Maximize the lifespan of your vegan sneakers
Besides regular cleaning, here are some tips to extend the life of your vegan white sneakers:
- Adjust the laces: When you put on your sneakers, remember to unlace them slightly to avoid distorting the back.
- Proper storage: Avoid extreme temperatures and store your vegan sneakers in a place away from direct light.
- Caring for the inside of your sneakers: Remove the insoles to let them air dry.
Taking care of your vegan sneakers means extending their lifespan while preserving the environment. With these simple tips, your white vegan sneakers will always be on top, whatever your looks and adventures!
