    Converse sells 100 million Chuck Taylor sneakers every year. Sure, they tend to wear out after a year or two, but they're so inexpensive and so stylish that 60 percent of all Americans either own or have owned a pair at some point in their lives. The canvas isn't super hard to clean - just rub it with warm water and soap - but the rubber can be tricky to keep sparkling white. Here are five remedies I'm testing out to see which is best!

    Powder laundry detergent, warm water and dish soap is great for removing stains. It also removes coffee and tea stains from mugs if left overnight and is good for removing engine grease from hands.

    I have no clue why, but to me, cleaning your converse is like washing your jeans: I never (not ever but still) do it lol. I just love them even more when they're trashed ! Like good faded jeans ! Your video was instructive anyway for people that are not like me haha

    Web belt cleaning hack: toothpaste and an old tooth brush. Dampen the belt, scrub it well, rinse well, hang dry. That is a USMC boot camp method. It works well.

  • @ALYoung-wj8td

    So I tried laundry soap , dish ❤ a little stain remover worked pretty good😊!! Lots of elbow grease!! But by far the best one is just for the white rubber sole😊get a bottle of 20 or 30 volume creme developer. It's the stuff u mix with hair dye carefully only put it on the rubber sole!! I used a small paintbrush. Carefully wrap your shoe in saran wrap and lay them out in the sun. It's amazing and works best!! Warning will ruin other parts of shoe so be careful!!How long in the sun u ask?? Maybe a couple hours. Remember I saw it on you tube!!!
