How to clean white Stan Smith sneakers?
Pour dish soap into the bowl of water. Then, take off your shoelaces so you can cover all areas of the shoes with more flexibility. Dip a wash cloth into the soap and water and scrub your heart out, thoroughly covering every part of the shoe. Make sure the wash cloth has plenty of soap, but not too much water. If you would rather use a toothbrush, follow the same procedure and scrub all the tiny nooks and crannies. When you’re done, pat the shoes dry with a towel and let them air out for a few hours.
Cleaning the laces will also help restore your shoes. You can stick your shoelaces in the washer, more precisely you can pt them in a mesh laundry bag and let the washing machine do its job.
