Sports shoes are a must-have for every sports lover. Proper cleaning is also a kind of maintenance for sports shoes. If the cleaning method is incorrect, it is likely to cause damage to your beloved shoes. Generally, before cleaning, refer to the maintenance instructions provided by the manufacturer and follow the following methods to achieve the purpose of both cleaning and protecting your beloved shoes.

Soak the shoes: throw the shoes into a basin, fill the basin with 2/3 of clean water, and the washing temperature should not be higher than 45 degrees Celsius. Let the shoes be soaked by water. For general mesh shoes, you can add some laundry detergent to the water. Note: Never soak your shoes in water. Don't just throw them in a basin like you would soak dirty clothes and then wash them half a day later. This will cause your shoes to come apart easily after they dry. Washing the soles of shoes: This is very easy. Use a shoe brush to brush the soap first and then brush the soles. If there are any small stones in the glue seams of the soles, you can use a toothpick to pick them out.

Wash the upper and lining of the shoes: use an old toothbrush, but don't use the old one with curled bristles. In fact, you can also buy a new toothbrush with softer bristles for more than 3 yuan as a special shoe cleaning brush. You can also use a shoe brush, but the editor thinks that if it is a professional track and field shoe, it is okay, but if it is an ordinary running shoe, it will damage the mesh surface too much. Use a toothbrush to apply some soap, then brush the mesh surface. You can brush the inside as well.

Be sure to remove the shoelaces before washing your shoes. Just rub the shoelaces with soap and also brush the tongue with a toothbrush. Wash the shoes repeatedly 1 or 2 times, pour out the dirty water and replace it with clean water, soak the shoes in the water, and use a toothbrush to scrub the shoes clean without using soap. The leather surface can only be washed with clean water. Do not add any detergent, otherwise the leather will turn yellow and crack. Avoid contact with organic reagents and oil solutions.

Drain the water: I don't mean you have to put the shoes in the washing machine. You can use your thumbs to press and squeeze out some water from the spongy areas at the front and heel of the shoes.

Then grab the middle of the shoe sole, with the heel facing forward and the toe facing behind you, and start swinging your arms back and forth a few times. The more times you swing, the better for the shoe.

Drying: You can use shoelaces to randomly pierce a few holes, and then tie them to a triangular clothes rack, and hang a shoe on each side like clothes to dry in a ventilated place that will not be exposed to the sun. It is best to prop up the inside of genuine leather shoes with paper balls or shoe trays to prevent serious deformation. When drying, be sure not to expose your shoes to the sun and do not use heaters or open flames, otherwise your shoes will turn yellow and hard. After the leather surface is dry, you can apply some shoe polish for maintenance.
