How to Clean Adidas Campus Trainers (The Right Way!)

Adidas Campus trainers are an iconic staple, perfectly retro, ultra-comfortable, and versatile enough to pair with just about anything. But suede and leather uppers mean dirt and grime don’t go unnoticed. If yours are looking a bit tired, here’s how to bring them back to life.

🏠 DIY Cleaning for Adidas Campus

You don’t need to be a pro to freshen them up. Here’s a safe at-home method:

What you’ll need:

  • A soft brush (like a toothbrush)

  • Mild detergent

  • Cold water

  • Microfiber cloth

  • Suede eraser (optional)

Steps:

  1. Dry Brush First: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Don’t use water yet.

  2. Spot Clean Gently: Mix a little detergent with cold water. Dip a cloth into the mixture and gently dab dirty areas on the suede and leather.

  3. Eraser for Scuffs: Light scuffs? A suede eraser can help rub them out.

  4. Air Dry: Let them dry naturally, avoid sunlight or heat!

This method is okay for light cleaning but if you want next-level results...

💥 Crep Hero Foam Method (Pro Results at Home)

Our Crep Hero Foam Cleaner and Conditioner is safe on suede, nourishes leather, and gets deep into every crevice without damaging materials.

Why it’s better:

  • The foam lifts dirt without oversaturating suede (a common DIY mistake).

  • It conditions leather—keeping the Campus's iconic stripes and toe box looking supple.

  • It’s biodegradable and eco-friendly 🌱.

Use it with our soft brush to massage the foam in, and finish with a clean microfiber cloth for a crisp finish.
