So, you just bought your fabulously white Nike Air Force. But then you realize one thing: it gets dirty so quickly! As with every white-colored anything, a stain is bound to sneak up after a few uses.
Yes, Gucci may have given life to the dirtied white sneakers trend, but to those who simply cannot stand the sight of dirt on their white sneakers, these hacks are for you.
# Method 1
What you'll need:
• Baking soda
• Detergent
• Toothbrush
Instructions:
1. Mix 1:1.5 part of baking soda and detergent.
2. Scrub shoes with the mixture using a toothbrush.
3. Rinse and double wash the shoes in a washing machine—add some towels in to cushion the impact of the shoes banging against the inner wall.
# Method 2
What you'll need:
• Micellar water
Instructions:
1. Soak micellar water in a clean cloth.
2. Wipe your shoes with them. (Works on leather, rubber, and suede finishes.)
# Method 3
What you'll need:
• Baking soda
• Vinegar
• Lemon
Instructions:
1. Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 2 tablespoons of white vinegar, and a cup of lemon juice.
2. Clean your shoes with the mixture using an old table cloth or toothbrush.
3. For stubborn stains, mix the mixture in step 1 with water and soak your shoes in it for 30 minutes.
4. Rinse and let it dry.
These three methods are among the most effective to eliminate those stains on white sneakers. You can even apply the same methods on stained white shirts too!
