Maintaining your trainers, especially the mesh and suede upper, will ensure their longevity and appearance:
General Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush or an old toothbrush) to gently remove loose dirt and dust from both the mesh and suede sections.
Spot Cleaning Suede: For stains on suede, gently dab with a specialized suede cleaner or a minimal amount of mild soap solution applied to a clean cloth. Avoid saturating the suede. Use a suede eraser for scuffs.
Spot Cleaning Mesh: For mesh, a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap can be used to gently wipe away dirt. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove soap residue.
Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
Outsole: The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove grime.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your trainers as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning.
