So, equip yourself with the important knowledge on how to clean white shoes simply and effectively.

Clean white suede shoes

Today, suede is a type of material that is quite familiar to everyone, and is usually made of the left side of animal skins such as cowhide, goatskin, buffalo skin, sheepskin and so on. This material has the great advantage of softness, which makes it extremely comfortable and pleasant for the user, while helping to keep warm in the winter, but helps to be cool in the summer. They are softer than any other type of leather, but they have the disadvantage of being water-repellent, stain-resistant and very difficult to maintain and hygienic. Even if you are unlucky to get rain while wearing suede shoes, you may have to take them away as it is very difficult to save them. But in return, suede shoes will bring you a youthful, luxurious and especially strange beauty that no other type of leather can do.

You may find it difficult to clean suede shoes, but whatever the material, if you know how to care for them, they will respond to you with a lasting durability. Suede shoes are hard to maintain, white suede boots are more difficult, so you need to put more effort, carefulness and meticulousness in keeping and cleaning them.

First, use a dedicated brush for cleaning the suede to brush away the dirt on the surface of the leather. You should brush in one direction to achieve the best effect. Instead of combing around, it will shed the fur, causing a loss of aesthetics for the shoes, as well as make the shoes more dirty. Brush gently and persistently, otherwise stains will result in dark streaks on your white shoes.

If stains are too stubborn and you can not remove them with a brush, use a small and blunt knife to clean them, then use a solution to spray on the shoes and let them dry naturally. You should note that there is absolutely no use of water, especially cleaning chemicals such as soaps and cleansers. This is the only way you can clean white suede shoes, as you can not bring them to laundry like other canvas shoes.

Clean white leather shoes

Leather material is probably the most commonly used material today in the field of men's fashion, especially leather work shoes. Leather shoes are easier to maintain and take care of than suede shoes. However, as they are white, you will definitely have to spend more time cleaning them than any other dark slippery shoes.

After removing the stains, use a clean and soft cotton cloth to clean the surface of the shoe. Just like white suede shoes, wipe your way slowly and persistently to avoid stains on the shoe surface, and just wash your shoes in a circular pattern. Before that, you should prepare the solution to clean your shoes by mixing warm water with a little soap or laundry detergent or any other common chemicals but with a very mild detergent only. Use a brush to rub gently on the surface of the shoe, even if you can rub inside the shoe, but remember to be extremely gentle and patient because once the leather is scratched, you will lose its beauty.

Then, use warm water to clean your shoes again with a soft cloth. Then let the shoes dry naturally or you can put dry towels or paper into the shoe, which will help absorb water and reduce the time needed to dry the shoes. However, do not use newspapers because the ink on paper may print on the surface and cause aesthetic for the shoes. Also, make sure you change towels and paper if they are wet, then hang up your shoes or put them away from the ground so they can dry completely. If you want to use polishing for white shoes, be sure to stay away from the colors if you do not want your white shoes to be stained. However, you can use a white shoe polish or colorless shoe polish to use for other colored shoes as well.
