Refurbishing White Tennis Shoes

I spray the tennis shoes with Shout laundry stain remover and rub off dirt with a rag. Then I take a water dampened rag, wipe shoes off and wipe dry. Next, I polish over the shoes and the laces with white polish. I wipe off any excess with a dry rag and let the polish dry.

Cleaning White Tennis Shoes

When trying to clean white tennis shoes in the washing machine, drop in one plain, regular aspirin tablet along with whatever detergent you wish to use. For some reason, the shoes will come out whiter.

Cleaning Ryka Shoes

I have a pair of Ryka (ryka-rocker) open-back tennis shoes. They are very light grey/taupe? Does anyone have any idea of how to clean them? I really don't want to wear them out anymore. I'm embarrassed. These shoes were so comfortable from the very start. I cannot afford to buy another pair now. These are not old, just a few months.

Cleaning Leather Athletic Shoes

Black Jordan's athletic shoes.I messed up my SpaceJams, the 11s. They can't seem to get back that pretty shine. Surely someone knows hot to create a homemade cleaner to get back that shine on the leather part. Can you help me?

Hmm I do not know how to create a home care leather cleaner. However, when there are stains you may use white erasers and lightly erase the marks away.

If you want the leather to be back to its new condition, it is better to send it service at shoe cleaning stores.

or purchase a leather cleaning kit for leather handbags. I have lot of handbags and I use "apple care" leather creams. What I do is clean the targeted leather item, followed by moisturizer cream. It always makes my bag shine and look brand new again.

Put the cream on a piece of clean cotton cloth and rub onto the leathers gentles in circular motions.

Also please remember to do a small patch test on your shoes before applying the creams though.

Hope this helps. Good luck
