Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 740 Trainers, especially given their white mesh construction.
- Regular Cleaning: For general dirt, gently brush off loose debris with a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush).
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks or stains, mix a small amount of mild detergent (like dish soap) with warm water. Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe the affected area. Avoid oversaturating the mesh.
- Mesh Care: Use a gentle hand and avoid harsh scrubbing on the mesh to prevent damage. For deeper cleaning of the mesh, a soft brush can be used carefully.
- Sole Cleaning: Use the same mild detergent solution and a brush to clean the rubber soles and midsoles.
- Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators, hairdryers, or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You can use shoe trees or stuff them with crumpled paper to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can cause significant damage to the materials, structure, and cushioning.
