Maintaining the pristine look of your True White Vans Classic Slip-Ons requires simple, consistent care:
Spot Cleaning: For small marks, use a soft cloth or toothbrush with mild soap (like dish soap) and cool water. Gently scrub the affected area in a circular motion.
Canvas Cleaning: For overall cleaning, mix a small amount of mild detergent with cool water. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the canvas, working in small sections. Avoid saturating the shoe completely.
Sole Cleaning: Use a brush (an old toothbrush works well) and soap and water to clean the rubber foxing tape and outsole, removing dirt and grime.
Rinsing: Wipe away any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth. Do not rinse under running water as it can stain the canvas.
Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Do not tumble dry.
Avoid Bleach: While they are white, harsh chemicals like bleach can damage the canvas fibers or cause yellowing over time.
