How to Clean Mesh on Sneakers [With Household Items]

This is a video on how to clean mesh on your sneakers using household items, with the Air Max 90 as demonstration. There are many ways to get your sneakers clean, and this is how I personally clean mine.

not sure what's better, the tips or the damn video! well done

Worked decent. I used tide powder mix with water and toothbrush. Shocked how well it worked. Trick is to keep rinsing the brush with clean water

[Egoegoegosum]

You can add some bicarbonate soda to the toothpaste for tougher stains. Don't use vinegar as it will neutralise the toothpaste or soda .

Baking soda works too, and throwing a dryer sheet in the shoe helps a lot with smell

Thanks. No bleach. Bleach yellows fabrics, especially synthetics, and causes structural damage to fabric fibers over time (mainly cottons) . Oxy clean works great and I find the powder best as you can use it straight, on a wet toothbrush, with a dab of water on small stains. Because of the nature of OXY, it is activated at the moment the water is added. So it is strongest at oxidizing stains (it will feel slightly warm). And making solutions of OxiClean and water, and using that with your scrub brush techniques, will also get liquid in that will work at oxidizing those other deeper stains. As you noted also you, anyone should be careful about soaking any fabric in any kind of solution for any amount of time, Without first checking for fabric care, instructions, and or testing on a small discrete area of fabric on the shoe.

This is a great tip thank you! Ive struggled cleaning the mesh on my 90s for years, I use a toothbrush and dish soap usually, but you must be careful as dish soap can actually stain your mesh green if you don't rinse it out properly.. But the toothpaste looks like it does a really good job!

One thing I do is use a tap/faucet with a long neck and I actually blast the dirty suds from the inside of the toebox out because as you say there are many layers to the dirt and scrubbing sometimes just forces all the dirt downwards, this helps bring all the dirt out the way it came in 👌

This video helped me a lot, I just got some used Nike kyrie 6 neon graffitis for so cheap and I was disappointed in the mesh part, but the toothpaste got it out like nothing else. They look amazing now almost new thanks dude

I had one more stubborn stain on my white ON sneakers and this did the trick. Thanks!

This right here
I was tryin' to clean my nike oketo for months
Tried almost every, , professional " product, but they always seem to get random light red/orange stains after every wash, couldn't figure out why
Cleaned them yesterday, today they're dry, clean and ready to go
Thanks a bunch

[lukesmialkowski]

In my opinion, you did an awesome job.The difference is clearly"Night & Day"👍👍
Also.Grease Lightning+Oxy clean spray removes dirt very, very quickly.

Baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and a drop of dial dish soap. Don’t waste your time with toothpaste. Wear gloves also. Shit will burn if you have a cut.

[sethfulton]

“i have never actually stained any of my mesh sneakers in my life” is the hardest flex i’ve ever heard in my life

[secretcitylegends]

This is nonsense. I'm a sneakerhead. You don't ever use toothpaste on your sneakers🤦🏽‍♂️they will eventually turn yellow...smh...you don't use bleach either. Use baking soda, white vinegar, and dish liquid...or just baking soda and dish liquid. You can get the inside of your sneakers wet...smdh...infact you can run them through the washing machine in a mesh bag...never use bleach...you can use detergent that isn't heavily concentrated...again no bleach. Let air dry or put in front of fan. Never put in dryer bcuz the heat can cause your soles to separate from the sneaker and it can damage the leather. I prefer using reshoevn8r....that is the best sneaker cleaning kit I've ever used. If you don't have the money to buy a kit use the method I explained above you will thank me later. This guy is giving bad advice using toothpaste. Fluoride is not good for your sneakers...smh

[trinity.aaaa]

okay so i’ve tried a few things. what i tried worked really well. i mixed hot water and baking soda and i also tried baking soda, peroxide, and dawn dishsoap and scrubbed with a toothbrush and it worked! i than got a wet paper towel wiped off excess and let dry. they almost look new!

[boayden]
