How to Clean, Care and Protect White Leather Sneakers

White sneakers with white soles come in many shapes and materials, but they all pose a similar challenge: what’s the best way of caring for them and keeping them looking fresh? The exact method to clean and care for them depends on the materials but one thing is for sure: you are going to need dedication as well as quality products.

Step 1

Start by removing the laces. Then insert shoe trees, or stuff the shoes with newspaper, to ensure they keep their shape.

Step 2

Brush away any dirt and wipe the sneakers with a damp cloth. Stubborn spots or stains can be removed by applying ECCO Foam Leather Cleaner and then letting the sneakers dry for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Use the white coloured ECCO Revive with a cloth clean cloth to revitalise the white leather. Let the shoes dry and wipe away any excess before brushing vigorously.

Step 4

For all PU soles, we recommend using the ECCO Sole Cleaner on a regular basis, even before you wear your sneakers for the first time. Apply the ECCO Sole Cleaner directly on the sole and brush to remove any stains without getting the cleaning agent on the shoe upper, as this might cause staining.

Step 5

Finally, use a water-repellent spray to better protect your shoes against wet weather. Spray the ECCO Repel from 10 inches away and allow to dry for 15 minutes.
