Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your trainers:
Regular Cleaning: For daily dirt and dust, use a soft brush or dry cloth to gently wipe the mesh and suede surfaces.
Spot Cleaning Suede: For specific stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. Follow the product instructions carefully. Do NOT use water directly on suede as it can leave marks.
Mesh Cleaning: For mesh areas, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Air Dry: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
Deodorize: Use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets to keep the interiors fresh.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably with shoe trees to maintain their shape.
