How To Clean Adidas Shoes

Take the shoelaces off your shoes. It’s easiest to clean them when they’re separate. Set your shoes aside after you remove the laces.^[5]

Apply a gentle stain remover to any spots or stains. If you’re using a spray bottle, spray the stain remover directly onto the shoelaces. If you’re using a liquid stain remover, pour some onto a washcloth and dab it onto the shoelaces. Read the instructions that came with the stain remover to see if you need to let it set in for a few minutes before washing.^[6]

Wash the shoelaces in a washing machine with a load of your laundry. If the shoelaces are white, wash them with other whites so they don’t absorb dye and change color. If you have colored shoelaces, wash them with similar colored laundry. Wash the shoelaces on the same setting you would use to wash your clothes.^[7]

Let the shoelaces air dry overnight. Lay them out on a table or countertop to dry. Avoid machine drying the shoelaces or they could shrink. Once the shoelaces are dry, lace them back into your shoes.^[8]
