Happy reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started with cleaning and washing your Air Force 1s, here\u2019s what you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li> Baking soda <\/li><li> Apple cider vinegar <\/li><li> Vinegar <\/li><li> Mild detergent <\/li><li> Old toothbrush or brush to scrub the <a href=\"https:\/\/spotrinse.com\/how-to-wash-yeezys\/\">shoes<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 \u2013 Prepare the Air Force 1s for cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start cleaning your Air Force 1s, you need to prepare them for the cleaning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, take off the laces. The laces need to be cleaned and washed separately, so taking them off before cleaning the shoes is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the laces are removed, proceed to step 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 \u2013 Scrub away the dirt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the cleaning part. To get started, you\u2019ll need to apply a cleaning solution on the shoes and scrub away the dirt using an old toothbrush or some other brush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the cleaning solution, you have multiple options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li> Apple cider vinegar. Add half a cup of apple cider vinegar to a bowl and mix it with some water. <\/li><li> Baking soda. Combine and mix baking soda and vinegar in a small bowl until the mixture isn\u2019t lumpy. <\/li><li> Soap\/detergent. Make a soapy solution by mixing soap or detergent with water. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever option you go for, apply the mixture on the surface of the Air Force 1s evenly and scrub away the dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 \u2013 Dry the shoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This step is important. Drying your Air Force 1s after you\u2019re done scrubbing and cleaning them is something most people do incorrectly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the shoes are scrubbed, make sure no water is left in the shoes as it can damage them. Accumulated water can create unpleasant smells and <a href=\"https:\/\/spotrinse.com\/do-washing-machines-get-moldy\/\">result in mold<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve made sure there\u2019s no water left, you can air dry the shoes. Avoid using a blow dryer to dry them as it may cause damage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4 \u2013 Wash and clean the laces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Washing and cleaning the laces on your Air Force 1s is really simple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply soak them in a soap or detergent solution for about half an hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, use an old toothbrush to scrub away the dirt while the laces are wet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, you can pop the laces into your washing machine and run it on a gentle cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can dry the laces by simply hanging them outdoors and letting them air-dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5 \u2013 Put the laces back on<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the laces of your Air Force 1s are washed, scrubbed, and dried, you can put them back into the shoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There \u2013 you\u2019re done! Your Air Force 1s are like new and ready to be worn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Washing a pair of Nike\u2019s Air Force 1s may not be difficult but you do have to do it correctly to avoid damaging the shoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the shoes are prepared for cleaning. Then, a cleaning solution is applied on them and dirt is scrubbed away using an old toothbrush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, the shoes are dried and the laces are washed and cleaned.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the steps needed to wash and clean a pair of Air Force 1s properly and safely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anybody who has ever owned a pair of Nike\u2019s Air Force 1s will testify to the fact that the shoes are a nightmare to clean.
