There's nothing like a fresh pair of Air Force Ones—until, of course, life happens, and they start to show their wear and tear. Whether you're dealing with stubborn stains or just the grime of daily adventures, knowing how to properly clean your Air Force Ones can make all the difference in keeping them looking fresh.
A simple and effective DIY cleaning solution can work wonders for your sneakers. Mix one tablespoon of baking soda, two tablespoons of white vinegar, and one cup of water. This combination not only breaks down tough stains but also neutralizes odors, thanks to the baking soda. Pro tip: Always test on a small area first to ensure the solution doesn’t affect the shoe’s material.
Keeping your Air Force Ones spotless doesn’t have to be complicated, but the right method depends on the level of cleaning needed.
In a hurry? You can use your washing machine, but some preparation is key:
For those extra tough marks, here are a few targeted approaches:
| Method | Supplies | Steps |
|---|---|---|
| Baking Soda Paste | Baking soda, water, toothbrush | Create a paste, scrub onto stains, and rinse. |
| White Vinegar Solution | White vinegar, water, cloth | Mix and rub onto stain in gentle motions. |
