How to Clean Your Sneakers, According to Shoe-Brand Experts

Laces are prone to get dirty first because they're the most exposed part of the sneaker. The good news? Cleaning them is easy, whether you throw them in a delicates bag and add some OxiClean to the load before washing in the machine or give them a soapy bath with a DIY vinegar or stain solution. You can also spot-treat as the appearance fades. Finally, you should always air-dry your laces.
