How to Keep Your Sneakers Looking Brand New: The 2025 Ultimate Sneaker Cleaning Guide

In 2025, your sneakers say as much about you as your social media. From Jordans to Yeezys, Dunks to designer heat, clean kicks = major respect. That’s where Star Cleaner comes in. Whether you’re rocking grails or your daily beaters, this guide will help you keep your sneakers looking brand new — every time.

Why Clean Sneakers Matter

Dirty shoes send the wrong message. Fresh sneakers? That’s confidence, attention to detail, and pride in your fit. Regular cleaning helps:

  • Extend your sneaker lifespan

  • Prevent yellowing and stains

  • Maintain resale value

  • Keep you looking sharp

Step-by-Step: How to Use Star Cleaner

1. Dry Brush First
Use a soft-bristle brush to knock off surface dirt.

2. Apply Star Cleaner
Add a few drops of Star Cleaner to your brush or rag. No water needed — this is a dry foam formula that activates with agitation.

3. Scrub Gently
Focus on problem areas. For suede or knit, go light and slow.
