Cleaning one of the most iconic sneakers of all time, but let’s just say it wasn’t the perfect clean! Canvas is hands down the hardest material in the game to clean, but white canvas is on a different level of hard. In today’s episode of Shoe Care Academy we will walk you through how to clean your all white Converse or any other white canvas sneaker at home with just a single cleaning kit!
These all white Converse were worn by our editing team to do a variety of different tasks, so they were caked in dirt, grime, grease, oil and more. To kick of this cleaning we needed to use the RESHOEVN8R pretreatment method to breakdown as much of the grime as possible. We scrubbed the entire uppers using the Soft and Medium Bristle Brush and let’s just say… They were looking grey! The dinginess on this material was a little concerning if we are being honest! We then moved to the midsole and outsole using our Medium and Stiff Bristle Brush. At first glance the shoe wasn’t looking promising.
We put the sneaker in the washing machine and had faith that the laundry system would flush out the materials. After one spin in the wash the sneaker still needed some work. After all not all cleans come out perfect. We went ahead and cleaned the sneaker again to get better results! After the second cleaning these came out way better than expected. Sometimes on canvas kicks we see a slight yellow hue coming through (especially on Vans and Converse). However, we didn’t see it on these! If you do see it just put them in some UV rays and you’ll be good!
2 cleans later and these Converse are ready to go back on feet. Before you leave your comment with “buy a new pair” let me say you don’t have to! By buying one Signature Kit you can save/ revive 50 pairs of kicks. Prolong the life of your kicks by shopping at reshoevn8r.com!

[Music] Made well these kind of look like gray Canvas canvas well these kind of look Like gray Converse after the first pass Of the soft bristle brush so we're going To be moving on to the medium bristle Brush we'll take on this Rubber midsole And then we'll Rego over the canvas Materials just one more time to see if We can get it a little bit cleaner Before we throw it in the washing Machine well I mentioned earlier that The material on the sneaker is a little Bit flimsier than we're used to when We're cleaning Jordans just not as stiff But the canvas is super durable so went Ahead and use the medium bristle brush Medium brush is our middle of the road Allpurpose brush probably the best one To clean your sneakers hit the Tire Uppers on that canvas material there is Absolutely no damage to the material no Fraying anything like that and then took On the rubber midsoles to get that Grease and grime out of that white Rubber all right all done with the Medium bristle brush we went over the Rubber toe cap again as well as the Midsole overall that is shining pretty White but the canvas is still looking Very gray so the laundry system is going To be the key for this canvas materials In general are really tricky they really Soak up all the dirt grease Grime
Whatever you may step in and especially Because this sneaker is white so with The laundry system we're going to fully Flush out that canvas material it might Need two washes if we're being honest or The light box to really whiten up the Sneakers since they were super trash but We'll really see once we're all done With that laundry system now let's Tackle the outsole and go over the Midsole one more time using the stiff Bristle Brush now the reason that I chose to use The stiff bristle brush for the midsole Again is because of the textured toe box Now there is still a ton of Trapped in Grease and grime stuck in that texture So I just wanted to use a little bit of A stiffer brush and see if I can get it Out and then tackling the out soole Cleaning the outsole of your sneaker Some people don't agree with it really Is just to finish the job of the Disinfectant all right there's still Some heel drag on this sneaker as well As a little bit of trapped in dirt up Here so we' been using the microfiber Towel trick we're just going to stick The microfiber towel in some water and Solution put your finger in it and just Apply some pressure on the toe box and That back piece just to try to get the Rest of those stains out so the main Benefit that I find in using the
Microfiber towel trick is that I can Really just spot clean specific areas on The sneaker now you don't want to use The tip of your nail because it won't Work but you can use the back of your Knuckle or your fingertip and really Just get into all of that deeper Staining and it'll most likely remove it Didn't do 100% of the job but looks a Lot Better all right shoes inserted with the Laundry pot and the laces in the pouch Now we are all ready to head to the Washing machine we're going to be Washing the sneaker on a normal cycle With cold water and then we'll allow it To dry and check out the Results we're back we went ahead and let The shoe dry overnight after it went Through the wash cycle and I got to say It cleaned up a lot better than expected I was expecting some yellowing on the Canvas and some of those grease stains To really stay trapped in this canvas Material but it looks aund times better The only thing is there is some deep Stains stuck right here in this canvas As well as on the toe area so we're Going to go ahead give it one more clean Throw it in the washing machine again Just to see the results before we do That let's check out the before and Afters from the first Watch I'd say the signature kit did
