How to clean oily sports shoes

How to clean sports shoes that have been stained with oil? This depends on the situation. If it was stained at the time, then it depends on the material. If it is leather or oil-resistant, then it is easy to wipe it off with a paper towel. If it is made of other materials, you also need to wipe it with a paper towel first. Only wash it if it is not clean after wiping.

You should clean it as soon as you know that the oil has been dripped. Don't think it's troublesome or anything, because it will be much easier to clean it immediately. Just drop the detergent on the oily area, treat it slightly, and then clean it when it is convenient. If there is no detergent around, there are hand sanitizers in many places, which are also very effective. So if the oil has been dripped, just do it this way.

If you don't know when the oil dripped on your sneakers, how do you clean them? It's the same. Soak them first, then use detergent to clean them, and use a brush to brush them according to the different materials. If they are suede, then rub them with your hands, and if they are mesh, then use a soft-bristled brush. In short, how to clean oil dripped on sneakers is mainly based on the material. Detergent is used. As for tools, you can use a soft-bristled brush, or you can use your hands directly, or you can use a cloth. If it doesn't work, you can only wash it repeatedly several times.

What to do if the oil stains on sports shoes cannot be washed off

1. First, spray a certain amount of alcohol (available at all major pharmacies) evenly on the stain.

2. Then mix a cup of vinegar, half a cup of milk, a little detergent and some clean water, then scrub with a soft brush, rinse and dry.

3. You can also spray the special oil stain cleaner on the stain, and then scrub it with a soft-bristle brush using the same method as above, and finally let it dry.

Things to note when cleaning sports shoes

1. In terms of cleaning, different methods should be used for different materials. For the outsole and the non-dragon material part of the shoe, you can spray a little collar cleaner, and then use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub after a dozen seconds. However, the scrubbing time should not be too long. After scrubbing, the foam should be washed away with warm or cold water in time to minimize the time that chemicals corrode the shoes.

2. After cleaning, wipe off any remaining water with a dry cloth immediately. If the cleaned shoes have visible air cushions, wipe off the water around the air cushions first after completing the above steps to avoid chemical changes in the glue that decomposes after being exposed to water for a long time, resulting in debonding.

3. If possible, use a toothpick to remove small stones that are stuck in the sole grooves while walking, because if foreign objects are stuck in the sole grooves for a long time, the sole grooves will be deformed, which will affect the braking performance of the shoe to a certain extent.

4. The cleaning method of the upper depends on the material of the upper. The basic cleaning method is to use a rag dipped in a little water, and then gently wipe the upper, and pay attention to whether the dirt on the upper is a "hard injury". If the upper has a crack, skip the injured area, because if you continue to wipe the injured area, the wound will become dirtier, or even the crack will become larger.

5. If the upper is similar to Nike's foamposite, PU material used in the Kobe series, or patent leather, just wipe it with a damp cloth, which is a relatively easy-to-clean material. However, please note that some parts are made of another kind of artificial leather similar to suede, such as the dark inner part of the and1 Taichi Mid and the black upper of the Air Jordan 7. When cleaning, you must pay attention to the wetness of the rag. Generally speaking, when cleaning this kind of upper, using a too wet cloth will make the stains even dirtier.

How to choose sports shoes

1. Buy at noon. The size of your feet will change throughout the day, so the size you buy at noon may be the most suitable. When trying on shoes, wear the same socks you wear when walking, or bring your socks to the shoe store.

2. Measure your feet. Shoe sizes change throughout adulthood. Measure both feet and try on both shoes. If your feet are different sizes, buy the larger size.

3. Look for flexible but supportive shoes that can be adjusted with insoles. Make sure your toes can move comfortably.

4. Avoid shoes with seams in the toe area, which can cause bunions (swelling on the inside of the big toe) and hammertoe deformities.
