We often herald the humble white trainer<\/a> as an essential item in any stylish man\u2019s wardrobe. With a minimalist<\/a> aesthetic, it is an ideal foundational piece for nearly any outfit, from office suits<\/a> to summer shorts. The white trainer grounds a look, enabling men to add bolder patterns and colours without the fear of clashing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But, try as we might, it is difficult to keep these trainers looking box-fresh for a long period of time, especially if worn on the regular. Though, we should never be ditching our footwear before trying to rejuvenate to their former glory. Often with the right products and a bit of elbow grease, we can get them gleaming again in no time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s find out how to accurately clean our white trainers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The blessing of a white trainer on our daily wardrobe is also a curse. As a colour, white is prone to showing every scuff, stain or spill, which makes it crucial to tread carefully when wearing them. Furthermore, direct sunlight can also soften the white vibrancy so store out of the light to prolong the sparkle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plan your days and take note of any changes in weather. If there is a threat of rain then it might be best to replace with a darker colour shoe that won\u2019t succumb too heavily to rainwater or muddy puddles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The first step is to remove the laces as these are typically a different fabric to the rest of the shoe and therefore can be treated differently. Sometimes all the laces need is a soak in warm water with a little baking soda or oxi-white stain removal powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have a shoe tree then we would recommend inserting it to keep the trainer's shape during the cleaning process. Worst case, roll up some newspaper and use that instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now find a spot to do the cleaning. For example, a countertop that you can easily wipe down after or you can put a towel on the floor for a workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you get started with the deep clean, remove any large pieces of dirt or mud with a brush or cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Made Our White Trainers Dirty?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
