Brushes

Don't underestimate the power of a brush. They are very important to obtain top results and, at the same time, not to damage the leather.

Before starting the water cleaning process, it is important that you remove all surface dust or dirt from the surface. Otherwise, we will make cleaning more expensive and we need to make an extra effort.

They are also the best allies for removing dirt from soles and midsoles.

Each brush has more or less hard bristles that will serve you both for light cleaning and for more intense cleaning.

Our brushes are a perfect size and their wooden handle will give you an ideal grip to clean white shoes comfortably.

Shoe Protector: An Essential Step

A moment like cleaning white sneakers can be very satisfying for many people, on the other hand, for many others, it is a procedure to follow to obtain a good look but they are not enthusiastic about having to do it.

If you are one of the latter, we recommend that you use a protector. With its application, we manage to waterproof the white sneakers so that water, oil, wine, ketchup... and a lot of other substances slide off the surface, leaving the sneakers intact.

Therefore, you will not have to clean them as much, apart from the fact that you will also make them last much longer in general.

Water and dirt in general are very determining factors that can lead to serious damage to your shoes.

Recovers the Yellowed Soles

This a very common problem, especially in shoes like the Nike Air Force 1.

Yellow soles don't go away with cleaners. Once they have yellowed, it is necessary to apply a product such as Sole Restorer from Tarrago SneakerCare.

A product that with one or several applications (depending on the degree of yellow it has reached), will make the midsoles and soles of your white sneakers look almost like new.

The process is simple: put on some gloves, and with the help of a brush apply the product all over the sole. Next, cover the sneakers with plastic wrap and expose the white sneakers to the sun. Remove the product and redo the process if necessary.
