1. Clean your shoes as soon as it gets dirty

Do not wait for the dirt to build up before you clean your sneakers. Wash them as soon as possible. 

If they are not so dirty, then you can just wipe the dirt off with wipes or a clean cloth.

2. Do not wash it too many times

You should not brush your white sneakers every time. You are not supposed to wear those white kicks frequently. They are a once-in-a-while kind of sneakers. 

3. Use shampoo to clean any oil stains

In case of oil stains on your white sneakers, using a mild shampoo will clean them in no time.

4. Use toothpaste to clean the soles of your sneaker

Use non-gel toothpaste to clean the hardest and dirtiest part of your sneakers - the soles.

5. Store Properly

Storing your shoes is so important. Dirt and dust can destroy your shoe. So, put it in a shoebox or ziplock bag.

Store your shoes in a cool and dry place. You don’t need the sun constantly on it when not in use.

Although, it dries better when the sun is high and directly on it.
