It’s time to break out your white sneakers (there’s no waiting until after Memorial Day anymore). But maybe last year’s comfy Vans have lost their luster; the soles are a little muddy and the canvas has yellowed. No big deal—there are tons of cleaning options to make your canvas, leather, and suede sneakers sparkle as if they were brand new. 

If new sneakers aren’t in the budget this spring, our cleaning solutions will save your soles. And you can find everything you need—including cleaning kits, wipes, pens, and sneaker erasers—on Amazon. Prices start at just $5.

Here’s a quick breakdown on how to get your dusty sneakers bright white again. First, you’ll need a sneaker eraser to spot clean scuffs on the sole. Next, grab your cleaning kit (which consists of a solution or foam, a brush, and a microfiber wipe) and scrub the upper to remove dirt, grime, and stains. Then, buff your sneakers clean with a microfiber cloth. Lastly, stock your car’s console with sneaker wipes for on-the-go spot cleaning to keep your kicks looking drip. (At least that’s what the kids say.) 

Pink Miracle Shoe Cleaner Kit For Sneakers

This tried-and-true product (cleaning shoes since 1985) works on leather, vinyl, nubuck, suede, canvas, and cloth. It’s a concentrated formula that requires only a dime-size of solution to make your Nikes, Jordans, Vans, and Converse look new again. This kit comes with a brush and instructions outlining the simple three-step process. And since a little goes a long way, you’ll have this product on hand for next spring, too.

GleamGlee Foam Shoe Cleaner Kit

For deep cleaning action, we suggest GlamGlee’s foam cleaner. This spray-on solution gets to work even before the scrubbing begins, penetrating deep into the fibers to lift dirt and stains. This foam cleaner is made of coconut oil derivatives that prevent oxidative yellowing, and it cleans and protects with just one application. The kit comes with a brush and a cloth and can be used on suede, leather, PU, plastic, rubber, and canvas. 

Grandma’s Secret Sneaker Cleaner Stain Remover Spray

Grandma knows best! That’s why her secret sneaker cleaner miraculously works on the toughest stains, like grass and sweat stains and even on oil and grease stains. Similar to other cleaning solutions, this spray cleaner penetrates the surface of your sneakers and can be worked in with a brush and wiped off with a clean cloth. Use it on rubber, canvas, and leather. The small bottle fits conveniently in your purse or gym bag for on-the-go spot cleaning, too. 

SneakErasers Sole and Sneaker Sponges

I’m sure you’ve heard the hype about sneaker erasers. These “sole savers” naturally degrade with use, turning brown soles white. Simply add water and swipe the white side of the eraser across your sneaker’s sole (no elbow grease required), and then finish the job with the orange side. These erasers come in a 10-pack for on-the-fly clean-ups. Check out the company’s auto erasers, golf erasers, and purse wipes, too.

Mygezi Shoe Wipes (2-Pack)

All About Sneakers’ 100 percent natural wipes are safe enough to use on leather and rubber (but not applicable for suede). Still, the strong detergent removes dirt and build-up on leather sneakers, purses, jackets, and gloves, and the nifty travel pack can be stashed in your glove compartment to use at any time. The package’s self-adhesive opening prevents moisture evaporation, and each cleaning cloth is made of natural spun lace that won’t shed during use.

Wilkins Premium Midsole Marker for Leather, Suede, and Fabric

Use Wilkins’ sneaker marker on dirty midsoles that just won’t come clean with traditional cleaners. The marker deposits acrylic-based white paint on leather or rubber, disguising blemishes or revitalizing entire midsoles. This pen comes with a wide and narrow tip for precise application and detailing, and it provides coverage that is both flexible and waterproof, once dry.

Andiker Professional Cleaning Shoe Brush

Andiker’s sneaker cleaning brush is not your typical bristled brush. This professional wand features microfiber bristles surrounded by a sponge-shaped brush head for ultimate cleaning. The bristles are specifically designed so they don’t mar shoes, and the brush’s tail gets into all the dirty grooves in your outsole. You can even clean your sneaker’s interior from multiple angles using the specialized U-shaped head design.

Essensol3 Electric Shoe Cleaner Brush Set

Essensol3’s five-piece set goes above and beyond when it comes to sneaker cleaning. It contains an electric brush with three head attachments and a cleaning solution. The soft brush is suitable for cleaning your sneaker’s upper, the medium brush cleans the upper and the midsole, and the stiff brush is designed for the midsole and the outsole use. The plant-based cleaning solution is safe on most materials, like leather, suede, and canvas. Just dip the brush head into the mixture for effortless cleaning, and then towel dry your sneakers with a microfiber cloth.

Essensol3 Shoe Cleaning Microfiber Towel and Mat

Speaking of cloths, Essensol3’s microfiber cleaning towel can be used with its set or on its own for a final buff after any cleaning. It also doubles as a mat to protect your table or countertop while cleaning your sneakers. This cloth rolls up easily for travel and storage and doubles as a lint-free wipe for many household items.

Swipz Shoe and Sneaker Wipes Travel Packs

Swipz’s convenient disposable wipes are individually wrapped and fit neatly in a pocket or purse for travel-friendly cleaning. Perfect for gym buffs and golfers, these travel wipes can be used to remove debris from your sneakers before setting foot in the gym or for use on the course. The pre-moistened wipes are gentle enough for most materials and fabrics, including leather.
