Spot Clean: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap (like dish soap) and warm water to gently scrub away dirt and stains.

Avoid Bleach: Do not use harsh bleaches as they can damage the canvas fibers and cause yellowing.
Air Dry: Always air dry your Vans Authentic trainers away from direct sunlight or heat, as this can cause shrinkage or damage to the canvas and sole.
Sole Maintenance: Periodically scrub the vulcanised waffle sole with a stiff brush and soapy water to remove accumulated dirt and maintain optimal grip.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
Protective Sprays: Consider using a canvas protectant spray designed for shoes to help repel water and stains, making future cleaning easier.
