🧵 Understanding the Materials

👕 Mesh Upper
Lightweight and breathable, mesh defines the sleek style of Cleens and Arne—but it traps dirt easily. Always clean it gently to preserve the fabric.

🐑 Suede Panels
Suede adds a luxury finish, but it marks easily. You’ll need suede-specific tools and extra care to maintain that soft, plush feel.

🧽 Midsole Materials
Typically made of EVA foam or rubber, midsoles are built for comfort but can scuff quickly. Regular cleaning keeps them looking sharp and tidy.

🪣 Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide

1. Prep Your Trainers 🧼

  • Remove the laces and insoles.

  • Lightly brush off loose dirt from the upper and soles.

2. Clean the Mesh Upper 👟

  • Apply a small amount of Crep Hero Foam to a soft brush.

  • Gently scrub the mesh in circular motions.

  • Rinse your brush as needed with lukewarm water (don’t drench the mesh!).

3. Clean the Suede Panels 🧽

  • Use a suede brush, brushing in one direction only.

  • Use a sponge or damp cloth with foam to wipe them down.

  • For deeper scuffs, gently scrub with an old toothbrush.

  • Pay close attention to grooves and edges.

5. Dry Them Right 🌬

  • Stuff trainers with paper towels to hold their shape.

  • Air dry in a cool, shaded space—avoid direct sunlight or radiators!

6. Reassemble and Protect 💪

  • Reinsert insoles and laces.

  • Spray with a suede-safe protector spray to guard against future stains.

🧼 Care Tips for Long-Lasting Freshness
