Should Converse be washed? How to wash Converse?

Converse is a canvas shoe brand that is popular among most young people nowadays. However, because it is a branded canvas shoe, it is very important to pay attention to its maintenance, otherwise it will greatly shorten the service life of Converse. So should Converse be washed? How to wash Converse?

It is up to you whether to wash or not. Converse is a vulcanized canvas shoe. Improper cleaning will cause aging, fading, yellowing, and degumming. After washing, place it in a ventilated and cool place to dry naturally. Do not expose it to the sun or bake it in a high temperature place to prevent degumming or degumming, which will accelerate aging. Non-professional labor rubber shoes should not come into contact with chemical substances such as acids, alkalis, and salts to avoid corrosion, degumming, and deformation. When washing, the force should be gentle and even. Do not brush it hard to avoid breaking the thread or brushing off the pattern and decorative parts of the shoe body. Avoid contact with sharp objects to prevent scratches on the upper and body of the shoe. For white canvas rubber shoes, do not contact with carbon ink and other difficult-to-clean items. After cleaning this color of canvas shoes, apply toothpaste or white chalk powder on the upper and body of the shoe. Be careful to apply it evenly, and then let it dry to prevent discoloration. Or find two pieces of white clean paper to cover the upper of the shoe body/tear it off after drying to prevent discoloration. If the shoes have broken or dropped threads, or the decorative parts are loose, they should be repaired in time to extend their service life. Do not wash them in a washing machine. Some people think that canvas shoes are resistant to bending and cheap, so they are too lazy to wash them by hand. However, they do not know that the decorative fabrics on the shoe body are different from the shoe body, and they are easy to fall off and fade in a washing machine.

Use a towel to dip in soapy water to wipe the upper of the shoe, then use a towel to dip in clean water to wipe off the soap on the upper of the shoe. When drying, do not expose it to direct sunlight. After washing, place it in the sun. Light white canvas shoes tend to turn yellow easily, so it is best to put a thin layer of toilet paper on the shoes. Never use detergent to brush, as detergent can easily cause the shoes to lose color. You can use toothpaste to brush the shoes, but remember not to expose them to the sun after brushing. Place them in a dark place and let them air dry naturally. Clean the shoes regularly. When the upper of the shoe is dirty, use a soft rag dipped in water or detergent to gently wipe it. Do not brush it hard with a brush. If it is leather, vulcanized shoes can be put on the cloth with toothpaste, and then wiped with a cloth. This is easy to clean, and it is very white without damaging the shoes.

When washing Converse canvas shoes, you can soak them in water. But remember not to soak them in water for too long, because soaking them in water will damage the rubber or air cushion on the sole, causing the rubber to fall off or the air cushion to become brittle. Because Converse canvas shoes should not be soaked in water as much as possible, if you must soak them in water, remember not to soak them for more than ten minutes. If they are white Converse canvas shoes, you can brush them with transparent soap and a soft brush, or brush the upper with pure white toothpaste, and then rinse them with clean water.

It is not recommended to wear Converse for running, because Converse is not a professional running shoe. Most of Converse shoes are flat and easy to slip, and the soles have no shock absorption, which will make your ankles more likely to be injured. Casual shoes can be used for running, but they are not suitable! Occasionally, you can run, but not regularly. It is easy to cause sports injuries.
