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.
This video helped me a lot, I just got some used Nike kyrie 6 neon graffitis for so cheap and I was disappointed in the mesh part, but the toothpaste got it out like nothing else. They look amazing now almost new thanks dude
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 👌
This right here I was tryin' to clean my nike oketo for months Tried almost every,, professional " product,but they always seem to get random light red/orange stains after every wash, couldn't figure out why Cleaned them yesterday, today they're dry, clean and ready to go Thanks a bunch
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. This guy is giving bad advice using toothpaste. Fluoride is not good for your sneakers...smh
@@kameroniurmom2991I don’t use dishsoap, just eye ball a couple tbs of baking soda, same amount vinegar add a couple tbs of warm water and add a bit of laundry detergent, it’ll not be too pasty more on a liquid side, grab a soft bristle toothbrush and scrub away big debris and hard stains (they won’t completely disappear) then grab a microfibre cloth if you have it and scrub it down gently. Proceed then to put it into the washer inside a pillowcase on cold water, light load and gentle cycles add more detergent Ofc. I also suggest adding a couple pairs of jeans to balance the load and take less impact on your shoes. After all that simply air dry and they’ll be looking pretty clean!
Baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and a drop of dial dish soap. Don’t waste your time with toothpaste. Wear gloves also. Shit will burn if you have a cut.
I'm a broke biotch but I love to feel like my kicks are fresh 😎 I have been cleaning shoes for years yours is the only one that actually worked I subscribed to your channel and thanks to this video the freshness continues hahahahaha
I am a millionare. But poor and rich people need to keep their shoes clean. NBA stars who throw away their shoes after 1 use are foolish & many times do it to flex for the cameras.
okay so i’ve tried a few things. what i tried worked really well. i mixed hot water and baking soda and i also tried baking soda, peroxide, and dawn dishsoap and scrubbed with a toothbrush and it worked! i than got a wet paper towel wiped off excess and let dry. they almost look new!
Man I got all the Air Maxes out right now and I clean them all the time but that mesh just always gets dirty so I always keep a fresh pair I never wear in a box.
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 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.
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.
@@daniellad2184 I'm also a month late lol. But yes, mesh is mesh, regardless of the color. If you're worried about your mesh turning white because of the toothpaste, it won't happen. If it's too white after you clean, then you just didn't clean off the residue off completely, so just do some more rinsing.
I never use warn water when cleaning my sneakers. Warm water will kill dirt faster, however you can risk shrinking parts of your sneaker if it's too hot. I'm not saying I don't recommend using warn water, I'm just saying be careful if you do!
@@JUDGE_MNTAL hot water is actually worse, especially for white fabrics. hot water sets in stains, making em go deeper into the fabric. cold water is your way to go!
If I'm not mistaken, those are more of a "knit" material than mesh. They work the way, but you should be careful not to brush too hard or use a soft brush to not damage the knit.
I was saying that if it's still dirty, then just do it again. Mesh is stubborn and sometimes you may need to clean it multiple times. Just make sure you know the difference between dirt and natural yellowing from age, because you can't remove the yellowing without using special products.
People have had success stories with baking soda. However, you risk fading the colored part of the sneaker if it gets on it. Also, from my understanding, they can also affect fibers on certain cloth, which can potentially ruin your sneaker (or any other clothing items).
Ah, the focus of this video was on mesh, so I didn't include the laces. For the laces, I just use any soap tbh. I rinse them together in a circular motion, like making a ball out of clay, but you can scrub them anyway you want. Just don't use brushes unless you know what you're doing as you might damage the threads. The more suds the better and just rinse them off.
Excellent method and you are a very tidy person, pleasure to watch.
not sure what's better, the tips or the damn video! well done
Baking soda works too, and throwing a dryer sheet in the shoe helps a lot with smell
How dose the baking soda method work?
@@eveldaddy6015 must just fizz up all the dirt out kind of thing
Worked decent. I used tide powder mix with water and toothbrush. Shocked how well it worked. Trick is to keep rinsing the brush with clean water

You can add some bicarbonate soda to the toothpaste for tougher stains. Don't use vinegar as it will neutralise the toothpaste or soda .

Man I got all the Air Maxes out right now and I clean them all the time but that mesh just always gets dirty so I always keep a fresh pair I never wear in a box.
You can wear a dirty sneaker, but you cannot wear a broken one. 👌👌
Neither dirty or broke

Thanks …

Need to clean my last pair of kicks … AirMax & white 😢😢👍🙏
What would be your recommendation if I was trying to unyellow mesh on top of my 95s?
I used hair developer. Left on for 5 minutes and rinsed off looks new
Doesn't those airmax have a little bit of suede on the side?
throw those in the wash with original tide normal cycle cold water and boom clean shoes
Shouldn’t the toothpaste “sit” for a while before rinsing it off?
Would black (like charcoal) toothpaste work better for black mesh shoes?
Does this work for nike airmax 270?
does anyone know if you can do this on grey shoes also with stains
Yes
Works with back mesh?
I’m trying to get rid of this one yellow stain on my Airmax 90s but it just won’t come out. What do you think I should use?

Does this work with air max 270's? (white colorway)
Does it need to be white tooth paste or will hand soap and water work the same?
Dish Soap works fine as well.
I had never tried hand soap, but I assume they can also work. Just make sure whatever type of soap you use, its clear or white in color.

Works on any color. In fact, colored mesh should be an easier clean in contrast to white

Can you dry the shoes inside

air dry always

would detergent work better than toothpaste?

Or try looking for a softer brush or just don't scrub to hard.
