How to keep white sneakers white?
White sneakers look very elegant. Light, gentle, airy, they always make the image more stylish, neat and elegant. However, to keep them in their original splendor is not so simple. Especially if they are constantly used in everyday life or in training.
In order for white sneakers to remain as white as long as possible, you need to start taking care of them from the first moment you meet them.
Immediately after the purchase, the sneakers must be treated with anti-stain and impregnation agent to create a waterproof layer. Impregnation will allow clogged pores on sneakers to keep moisture from getting in, but the shoes will still be breathable.
For textile sneakers is quite suitable universal impregnation. It can be applied also to the warmed models. Impregnation should be applied periodically, ideally - before each exit to the street, or at least at least 1 time in 2 weeks with regular use of sneakers.
Medical alcohol will help to clean the sole and decorative elements from rubber. It is enough to wipe the contaminated areas with it so that the sneakers return the original whiteness again.
Soiled sneakers should be wiped off as quickly as possible so that no dirt enters the skin. On the street, this can be done even with wet wipes.
At home, an old toothbrush and lather will help get rid of dirty stains.
Soft bristles perfectly clean the mesh base of the sneakers without damaging it. You can use a special stain remover for white shoes in the form of foam. After cleaning, excess soap solution or foam can be removed with a microfiber cloth.
Toothpaste applied with a brush directly on the stain will help to quickly remove dirt. You will only rub the paste and remove its remnants with a damp cloth. This method is suitable for leather sneakers. Mesh-based shoes will quickly absorb the paste, and over time yellow spots may appear on this spot.
Another option for quick cleaning is a regular eraser. It perfectly removes stains and scuffs from the surface, sole and rubber elements of sneakers.
White sneakers do not tolerate automatic washing. If you wash them in a typewriter, they may tear or yellow. It is best to keep shoes away from direct sunlight - rubber does not like it, which may eventually turn yellow from exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
How to choose children's sneakers for sports, dance or aerobics?

- An important role is played by the material from which the sneakers are made. He must be breathable. This will prevent the appearance of unpleasant smell, and give a feeling of comfort. The sole of the shoe must be flexible.
