Maintaining your white Vans Authentic trainers requires regular attention to keep them looking fresh.
Spot Cleaning: For small marks or scuffs, use a clean cloth dampened with cool water and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap). Gently rub the affected area in circular motions.
Sole Cleaning: Use an old toothbrush or stiff brush with soap and water to scrub the rubber foxing tape and outsole. This helps remove dirt and grime from the textured areas.
Deep Cleaning (Canvas): For more significant dirt, mix a small amount of mild detergent with cool water. Use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub the canvas. Avoid excessive soaking.
Rinsing: Wipe away any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth. Do not rinse under running water if possible, as it can saturate the material.
Drying: Air dry your trainers away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying. Replace paper towels as they become damp.
Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the canvas, vulcanized sole, and overall integrity of the shoe, potentially leading to sole separation or fabric shrinkage.
Protection: Consider using a canvas shoe protector spray to help repel water and stains, making future cleaning easier.
