1. Scrub away dirt and stains

Grab an old toothbrush and some mild laundry detergent mixed with water to gently scrub away dirt and stains from your shoes.

2. Clean leather or fabric trainers with vinegar

Mix one part white vinegar with one part water and use it to clean leather or fabric trainers. It's great for getting rid of stubborn stains.

3. Absorb odours with Bicarbonate of Soda

Sprinkle a bit of Bicarbonate of Soda inside your trainers to absorb odours. Just remember to shake it out before wearing them.

4. Remove scuff marks with a magic eraser

Use a magic eraser to remove scuff marks and restore the edges of your trainers. Pick one up for £1.99 at Amazon.co.uk.

5. Reduce creases with a damp towel and iron

If your trainers have a creased toe area, place a damp towel over this part of the shoe and gently iron it at a low setting. The steam will help relax the fabric and reduce creases.

6. Future-proof your trainers with a protector spray

Invest in a good-quality protector spray to keep your trainers safe from dirt, water, and stains. A single application can extend the life of your favorite kicks.
