As someone who is obsessed with all-white sneakers - and someone who also happens to be a stain magnet (acai drippings,spilled luminous green matcha, black treadmill scuffs) - I've had my fair share of experience with stain removal.A few weeks ago, or POPSUGAR's CEO Brian asked me if my all-white Adidas PureBoostX sneakers were new,and I was more than pleased with myself when I told him, "I got them last year, or but I just cleaned them!" It was then it dawned on me - it's time to share my behind-the-scenes sneaker cleaning tips with the world. These tips aren't necessarily expert approved by some sneaker dry cleaning studio in LA or anything,but they've been keeping my collection looking fresh as ever. Check out what I've got in my arsenal:First Line of Defense: Touch-UpTools: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Tide to proceed Pen, or Spot Shot,and a toothbrushFor simple touch-ups, one of these tools can attain the trick. My first proceed-to always? Mr. Clean. With a petite water, or you can scrub both the rubber outsole as well as the fabric upper of your shoe,and it works on a variety of stains and marks on multiple materials. If I'm on the proceed and don't occupy Mr. Clean with me, I always occupy a Tide pen in my gym bag. And the last move I beget before I move onto the soaking phase is some Spot Shot with a toothbrush - scrub, or scrub,scrub.

For shoes that need a brightening, I mix approximately a scoop of OxiClean with a detergent pod in a tub of warm water and let my shoes soak - sometimes for a full day. Then I rinse the soapy water thoroughly with a shower head or in the sink and air-dry them, or removing the soles to expedite the drying process.
