Step 1 \u2014 Remove the laces
\nStart by removing the shoelaces from both sneakers. Set them aside so you can clean them separately.<\/p>\n
Step 2 \u2014 Prepare the cleaning mixture
\nFill a large container with 1 litre of warm water. Add 2 tablespoons of washing powder and 1 tablespoon of baking soda.<\/p>\n
Step 3 \u2014 Mix well
\nStir the mixture thoroughly until the washing powder and baking soda are well distributed in the water.<\/p>\n
Step 4 \u2014 Soak the sneakers
\nPlace the dirty sneakers into the cleaning solution. Make sure the dirty areas are properly exposed to the mixture. Leave them to soak for about 20\u201330 minutes to help loosen the dirt.<\/p>\n
Step 5 \u2014 Scrub the dirt away
\nAfter soaking, take a soft cleaning brush and gently scrub the sneakers. Pay extra attention to the soles, sides, toe area and other heavily stained areas. Don’t scrub too aggressively, especially around delicate materials.<\/p>\n
Step 6 \u2014 Clean the shoelaces
\nWhile the sneakers are soaking, place the shoelaces in some of the cleaning solution. Rub them gently between your hands or scrub them lightly with the brush to remove the dirt.<\/p>\n

Step 7 \u2014 Rinse thoroughly
\nOnce the dirt has been removed, rinse the sneakers well with clean water. Make sure you remove all traces of the washing powder.<\/p>\n
Step 8 \u2014 Rinse the laces
\nRinse the shoelaces separately under clean water until the water runs clear and no detergent remains.<\/p>\n
Step 9 \u2014 Remove excess water
\nGently squeeze or press excess water from the laces. For the sneakers, avoid twisting them, as this can affect their shape.<\/p>\n

Step 10 \u2014 Air-dry
\nPlace the sneakers somewhere well ventilated and allow them to air-dry completely. Keep them away from intense direct heat, which can damage some materials or cause the shoes to lose their shape.<\/p>\n
Step 11 \u2014 Finish up
\nOnce everything is completely dry, put the clean laces back into the sneakers.<\/p>\n
