Introduction

This guide will show you how to clean white Adidas Continental 80 shoes.

I’ve had these shoes for about 6 months and obviously, they need cleaning to some degree. I don’t want to spend a lot of money on a detailed shoe cleaner and want to use accessible items to make it easy for everyone that may use this guide. So, I took a quick survey and asked my friends about the ways they’ve cleaned their shoes and a few caught my eye. They all said, “If your shoes are leather, use a toothbrush and scrub it with Dawn soap.” I took their feedback constructively and plan on using the said method for my Adidas Continental 80’s.

  1. hbDhJWAnbx36gWOj

    • Take the laces out of both shoes before cleaning.

    • The laces can be either hand-washed or put through the washer and dryer after the shoes are cleaned.

  2. QxiVMpEyGmfnPVXj

    • Wet the brush in soapy water.

    • Brush the base of the shoe horizontally and vertically.

    • Wet the brush multiple times to keep enough soapy water on the shoe.

  3. tnLolRSbaUFaHJJS

    • Brush the top and different sections of the shoe.

    • Continue with circular, vertical, and horizontal brushing motions to ensure the best results.

  4. mQ1KUNVqDQv4XtCR

    • Make sure to clean the tongue in the same circular, horizontal, and vertical motions with the toothbrush.

    • Use lots of soapy water on the tongue.

  5. ksnnWKvetvSMdJcR

    • Grab a new bowl with warm water and wet the hand-towel to remove the dirt accumulated by the soapy water.

    • Wet and wipe multiple times to remove excess soap from the shoe.

  6. FX1pTyHbFjUyWY1p

    • Set the right shoe aside and move on to the left shoe.

  7. C4Jd1eqixLoClVTx

    • Brush the base and sides in the same circular, horizontal, and vertical motions with the toothbrush.

  8. LcgirN3ELZAVOwZr

    • Brush the top and tongue of the left shoe.

    • Continue rinsing and re-wetting the toothbrush in soapy water.

  9. La6nCwVBEcLPNWjS

    • See if there are any other areas of the shoe you might need to clean again.

  10. G3RYGtf4NKvWGP2D

    • Soak the laces in the same soapy water you used to clean your shoes for 30-40 minutes.

  11. 6VUC5gt6v3WH2MHY

    • Soak the laces in clean water for 30-40 minutes to clean off the soap.

    • Soak the laces at room temperature to prevent the laces from shriveling up.

  12. ZnmkuMrHXfeEOEoc

    • Let the laces air dry for 1-2 hours or put them in the dryer for 20 minutes.

  13. oluRuc2M4LGBSOjf

    • Let your shoes sit out to air dry for an entire day.

    • Avoid putting shoes in the dryer unless you have protective material around your shoes to prevent damage.

Conclusion

Having clean shoes is important to a lot of people. Know that this technique is a simple, easy technique with simple materials used. There are plenty of more in-depth, expensive techniques that may clean the shoes a lot better than this technique does.
