Our shoes are our most loyal and reliable running partners. Take good care of them with these expert cleaning tips.
Grass stains are tough because they come from chlorophyll, the green pigment in the plant’s juices, and that natural compound can bind to fibers of a fabric. To get them out, “mix one part vinegar and two parts water in a bucket for create a natural cleaning solution,” says Rademaker. “Dab a towel into the mixture and blot the stain; then, clean the whole area with a cleaning solution like you’d use for the road scuffs.” If that doesn’t work right away, keep repeating until it the stain is gone.
Check the urge to go totally HAM on that stain if your shoes are knit, though. “Knits are soft and pliable, which makes them more fragile than the other fabrics,” says Ornelas. “Be as gentle to these shoes as you are to your clothes”—i.e. don’t pull at or distort the shoe in your rush to get the stain out. Brush it gently with your cleaning solution, then let air dry.Lakota Gambill
