To maintain the appearance and longevity of your New Balance 740 Trainers with a polyester upper:
Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and stains, use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub the affected area.
Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, mix a small amount of mild detergent with cold water. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to clean the mesh upper and overlays.
Rinsing: Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Do not submerge the trainers in water.
Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keep them away from extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
