    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 👌

  • @jtimleck
    @jtimleck Před rokem +9

    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.

      You cannot remove yellowing from traditional cleaning. Yellowing occurs naturally from aging. There are special products / mixture to help rid of the yellowing, but personally, I just keep my sneakers yellow. It's natural and doesn't bother me.

      I also use a toothbrush to clean off stains on leather with my sneakers. However, that's just me, and I'm scared to tell people to do the same thing as they might brush it too hard and scratch their sneakers. You have to be gentle and know the sweet spot. So basically, yes, you can use toothbrush on leather. But no, I don't recommend it.

      I second no. It will dry too slow, By the time it dries, the sneaker will smell from how long the water stayed in the sneaker. Think of when you wash your clothes. Imagine washing your clothes, and leaving it in the machine for a few days before taking them out to the dryer.

    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.
