Discovering the most effective formula for how to clean sneakers is one of the main goals of most people looking to keep their footwear clean, cared for and long-lasting.
Although, like everything in life, sneakers are not made to last endlessly, there are ways to extend their lifespan and thus, make your favourite pair of sneakers last as long as possible.
This way, we want to leave you with some tips to take care of your sneakers. Tips that we are sure that will make all the difference in the look and durability of your sneakers.
1- MAINTAIN YOUR SNEAKERS SINCE THE FIRST DAY
The first step to take care of your sneakers is to protect them before something happens. To do so, our advice is that you use one of our favourite products: Crep Protect Spray.
So, when we talk about how to clean sneakers, we certainly talk about Crep Protect Spray, which in turn acts as a protective barrier and repels liquids that may eventually fall on them.
This way, you will minimise stains, dirt and humidity in your sneakers.
HOW TO CLEAN SNEAKERS WITH CREP PROTECT SPRAY?
Step 1: First of all, you must ensure that your sneakers are as clean as possible and that they do not have any stains;
Step 2: Next, shake the spray can;
Step 3: Apply the aerosol to your sneakers, covering the whole area of your sneakers from a distance of about 20 centimetres;
Step 4: Wait for it to dry;
Step 5: If this is your first time using Crep Protect Spray, or if you simply want to ensure the effectiveness of the process, apply a second coat of spray;
Step 6: Finally, wait about 15 minutes until your sneakers are dry.
HOW LONG DOES THE CREP PROTECT SPRAY LAST?
Once you have applied the Crep Protect Spray to your sneakers, you can rest easy for up to about ⅔ weeks, as this is how long the barrier effect lasts.
In addition, each can of Crep Protect Spray (200ml) protects up to 12 pairs of sneakers.
2 - HOW TO CLEAN SNEAKERS: ACCORDING TO THE TYPE OF MATERIAL AND STAIN
Depending on the type of material or type of stain present in our sneakers, it is sometimes difficult to know the best way to clean our sneakers.
Above all, the most important thing is to pay attention and not to use any aggressive or dubious quality cleaning products on your sneakers.
HOW TO CLEAN SUEDE OR LEATHER SNEAKERS
Did you know that sneakers with leather uppers are relatively quick and easy to clean?
Yes, it is true. In this case, we suggest that you always keep in your pocket, car or purse the Crep Protect Wipes: wet wipes with a soft side for general cleaning and a rough side for more resistant marks, appropriate for unexpected situations.
Another recommended option for such light stains is the Crep Protect Eraser. A gum with a portable design with which you can remove dirt marks from your leather or suede sneakers.
This way, all you have to do is rub the Crep Protect Eraser over the stained sneaker, as if you were doing it with your school or office eraser.
HOW TO CLEAN CANVAS SNEAKERS
Canvas sneakers tend to be more sensitive to stains, especially when it comes to white sneakers.
In this case, the solution for your canvas sneakers is not Crep Protect Wipes or Crep Protect Eraser, but Crep Protect Cure. A complete cleaning pack for dirty sneakers, regardless of the type of material and easy to use.
HOW TO CLEAN SNEAKERS WITH THE CREP PROTECT CURE CLEANING PACK IN 6 STEPS
As we have already mentioned, the Crep Protect Cure Pack is easy to use.
To make sure you apply it correctly, here are 6 steps to follow:
Step 1: Put warm water in a container;
Step 2: Dip the school pack Crep Protect Cure in the water;
Step 3: Put some Crep Care liquid on the brush;
Step 4: With the brush, gently scrub the dirty areas of your sneakers;
Step 5: Remove the remaining foamy dirt from the sneakers with the microfibre wipe that comes in the pack;
Step 6: Wait for the sneakers to dry.
Note: Depending on the gravity of each stain, you may have to repeat the process.
3 - KEEPING YOUR SNEAKERS LIKE NEW
Even if you keep your sneakers always clean, the use you give them will eventually leave marks and that will be noticed.
This way, we give you some tips so that you can take care of all the details so that every time you wear your sneakers they look like you just bought them.
HOW TO CLEAN THE LACES OF YOUR SNEAKERS
Are the laces of your sneakers dirty and can't stand to see them on your feet anymore? Put them in a cap washer and take them to the washing machine.
However, if they're not clean, you can always buy new ones. Our advice is to opt for thelaces from Crep Protect, as they have branded technology that repels liquids, and are also available in black and white.
AVOID BAD ODOURS
Whether it's because you're going to do some activity that you know you're going to perspire or simply because you already perspire through your feet, we have the ideal solution for you: the Crep Protection capsules.
These capsules are small air fresheners that you should leave inside your sneakers in order to improve their smell.
DO YOU ALSO VALUE INSOLES?
If you are one of those that really values every detail in the care of your sneakers, then certainly the insoles are not out of your concern.
Wear of insoles is something very common, by the simple use of sneakers on a daily basis, which leads to the formation of holes in them and discomfort for those who use them.
If the insoles of your sneakers are worn out, don't hesitate and opt for the insoles from Crep Protect. They are available in several models and full of comfort and quality.
