White leather trainers looking knackered

[SugarPlumpFairyCakes]

so quickly. I clean them with white kiwi shoe liquid. But they still look shabby and tatty. They're not even old!!

I want to chuck them in the washing machine but obviously that will destroy the leather.

What do you do for yours to keep them looking good? Posted too soon!

I always wash mine in machine. Air and grace and leather converse and also my suede gazelles. Dry in sun. Always been ok

Ohhhhh. I'm going to try then. Thx

Yep, always washing machine them, it's caused no damage so far - I just make sure they get really carefully dried as soon as they're done and put them on the delicates cycle so they're not in for long or spun hard

Washing machine. I it a good glue of detergent inside each shoe, Bob in a couple of towels to reduce clunking, set them on a 14 minute 40 degree cycle

Cif cream cleaner on a toothbrush for both sole and upper
You can then use renovating polish or cream
( it gives me great pleasure to bring old shoes back to life, wood furniture also)

As above - washing machine with towels.
Also a 600 spin - a fast spin will make the soles go banana shape

I’m going to take your advice and wash in the machine & hope they don’t fall apart. I can get the leather fairly clean but it the fabric inside the heel area etc that looks so grim 😂
