How to Clean Nike Sneakers


Nike sneakers, like any other brand of athletic shoe, should be cared for and cleaned regularly in order to preserve them, unless you don't mind buying new shoes every six months. The process of cleaning sneakers is actually quite easy.

1. Get a canister of foam cleaning solution when you buy your new Nike shoes.

2. Take a rag or cloth and dampen it.

3. Spray the foam solution over the shoe.

4. Run a plastic brush over the shoe, especially over the dirtiest areas, to scrape the dirt off.

5. Wipe off all the remaining solution and dirt with the damp cloth. Let the sneakers dry.

The Care and Maintenance of Sneakers

Apply a protective product to the shoe before you ever step outside your house. Protective products can be in the form of oil, wax, and silicone spray available at most shoe stores. Each type of material requires a special type of protective product.

All shoes require a certain amount of cleaning and upkeep. Allow the shoes a day to rest and dry before wearing again.

Never put your shoes in the washer. Spraying nylon shoes periodically with a silicone spray will keep dirt and stains from clinging. Smooth leather shoes, like Havana Joe Oxfords, we recommend special shoe cream. Choose the color closest to the color of your shoes. Dry thoroughly before applying the shoe polish. Polishing leather shoes takes time, but it is worth the effort. Remember never polish wet shoes. Saddle soap is also a great way to treat your leather shoes.

Suede shoes can be the most difficult to care for. Suede attracts stains and can be difficult to remove because getting the suede wet can ruin the shoes. For minor dirt and stains, try a soft brush (an old toothbrush is great for this) to gently brush away the dirt and scrub any staining. Are the soles of your shoes looking worn and dirty? Try a toothbrush and some Oxyclean paste (made according to the instructions) or Simple Green cleaning spray. Use sparingly with lots of elbow grease to clean the soles of your shoes.
