Oh my gosh my dad recently bought me a new pair of converse shoes, i freaked out when it got dirty. Luckily i saw this video and i think it will help me clean my shoes better. Honestly i never heard of using baking soda before i only use bleach and detergent, but the result of it was not really good. Imma gonna try using baking soda from now on. Thanks for the advice you're a lifesaver
Magic Eraser works amazing on the white sides and the toe.
Do dip the magic eraser in laundry detergent or soap or anything like that?
Can confirm. I did this today and it worked like a charm. It also helps if you wet your white pencil eraser.
Ehh I personally like a little discoloration on my converse it just looks better but the canvas is squeaky clean and looks amazing 👍👍
No
Uh yes 😁
@@haddenm2969 yes. It's easier to be ok with some discoloration otherwise you're gonna be stressed as hell trying to keep them perfectly clean. Plus it just adds a bit of history to them which I love
Him: “I wouldn’t recommend a hair dryer”
Me: *already having the hair dryer ready
👁👄👁*
Thank you this helped me! I used a normal magic eraser though on the rubber and it really helped! :)
I did that too. It worked pretty well!
The effort 😭😭😭❤️ , I love it
What about all black converse? Black rubber, laces, and canvas?
Is this the same for other colors such as all red, white, etc.???
I'm in the same situation as you.
Sometimes bleach can yellow your white fabrics. An old tried and true product to use is Borax found in the laundry detergent isle. It’s amazing stuff. So many different uses.
Also a good color retainer to use when you clean fabric is plain old salt. 😁🤓🤓🤓
Acetone nail polish remover cleans the rubber part REALLY well
That's because the acetone is dissolving the rubber so... Maybe don't do that?
I used toothpaste to clean the rubber part and it worked pretty well.
5:15 Reminds me of breakfast cereal when you stir your toothbrush in that plastic bowl
To stretch out my toes in my converse I heard that if you wear super thick socks with them and put them under a hair dryer they’ll expand. It worked for me. I know you shouldn’t put them under direct heat but it helped me stretch them out
great video i will find this very usefull exspecially for a pair of red converse that i have that are very scuffed up
Enjoyed this. Helpful. Make more content. You're good
Appreciate the tips, they look way better.
Aerosol glass cleaner works amazingly on canvas and soles
I use a magic eraser made for cleaning the bathroom (heavy duty) and some dishwashing detergent in warm water. I use a plastic kitchen scrubby for the inside of the shoes. I replace the laces when I can no longer get the black stains out. I find that plastic shoe trees are best to place in the shoes when they are air drying.
Cool, thanks for the tips Jan. I definitely feel like I would have been more effective with a good scrub brush.
I just spent half an hour watching some dude clean shoes.
The fuck am I doing with my life
My brother taught me a trick to restore the color on the canvas. Use baby oil. It sounds dangerous but it’s genius
I'm guessing it makes them softer, too? How did your brother come up with the idea of putting baby oil on his Converse in the first place?
@@KuroHebi he learned it in prison
@@IamYODA818 damn, tough place. Must've made him handy.
@@KuroHebi dude! He knows the craziest tips and tricks. I tell him to make videos but he says he feels weird in front of the camera
@@IamYODA818 I'd definitely watch him for his prison hacks. Sounds entertaining.
THIS IS WHAT I DO TO CLEAN MY SHOES AND THEY LOOK AMAZING
- take equal parts of detergent and baking soda (i took 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon detergent)
- take an old toothbrush and mix baking soda and detergent together
- get ur convers and clean the front white part (6:34) w the toothbrush u earlier dipped in the mixture(baking soda and detergent)
- then clean the side white parts (8:58)
- then get a big bowl of a little more hotter than warm water (u could put detergent if u want but i didnt cause then it takes a lot more time cleaning it and if the top part is NOT THAT dirty and can be done w/o detergent i recommend doing that)
- get an old cloth(i took a big long tshirt and cut it in two parts)
- dip it (one part of the tshirt) in the water and clean the white parts w it to get the mixture (baking soda and detergent)off
- then wash the cloth under water and clean the black part 11:14 (or whatever colour ur shoe is) (dipping the cloth in the warm water time to time)
- and do this process (the whole shoe white parts(side and front) and the black part) a few times and if the water gets dirty PLS change it. (U also dont need to wash the cloth under water again after that one time) 11:14
if u want u could put ur laces in vinegar and water mixture for 20-30 mins and then in a different bowl of warm water for 20-30 mins u could spray some perfume on the laces if it still smells like vinegar (i DIDNT cause my laces were fine SO its not tried and tested but it would work most probably)
Awesome video, thank you!
Me scrubbing the rubber parts with nail polish remover 👁👄👁
Does it work though ?
Did it work low key gonna try
@@summerputtner6264 i didn't try it with converse but it does work pretty well for scuff marks on any white shoe
@@dntnation5443 yes
5 stars work amazing
A magic eraser works amazing on the white rubber part. 🙂
i got some black converse at a thrift and theyre super musty but in pretty good condition. Im sorta excited to see the colour of the water 😭😭
Just bought some orange converse today the white rubber was kinda dirty i used dish soap and a tooth brush to clean them turned out fine I didn't clean the color part though I think it looks good enough I'm only using them for Halloween so I think it'll set the mood but overall dish soap works quiet well for the white rubber part of the converse
i really hope this works on my off-white shoes
Gonna do this on my retro’s
Old school chucks I digg it
is there a way to restore a faded black canvas with or without dyeing and still keeping the white stiches the same?
Chucks look good beat though. I just wear them until the soles star coming apart then buy a new pair.
Looking beat is one thing, having fecal matter and soil stuck on the rubber toe cap is something else entirely.
Thanks dude! My blue converse look better than before in 7th grade
I'm pretty sure I figured out the eraser trick in highschool while doing homework lol.
pieisnotreal What was it? :3
I remember leaving erased lines thru the dirty spots... Or you think your done and always find those faint dark spots. Would drive me nuts.
I have the same colored ones and have no idea how to clean them
i have green converse with a patterned tongue- i followed along with this video and at the end when i rinsed them some of the water that came off was blue??? lmao idk what happened but other than that slightly concerning point this seems to have worked very well, thank you :)
A magic eraser works really well.
You can use something called magic eraser those work really well to clean the soles
Can I do did in any color? Even black and white?
FOLEX carpet spot remover works very well on dirty white soles. First the best result, spray on the first signs of dirt/smudging, then wipe off.
I tried cleaning one pair of my converse, and they were teal but I used too much baking soda and they turned a light blue almost white
same. how did you fix it
I have tire scuff marks on the canvas part of my hi tops. They're light pink. 1. Would these ingredients remove tire marks? 2. Will my pink shoes remain pink using this cleaning solution?
If you wore your shoes while wet, how did you get the smell out of them?
Trolls and Furbees, LOL!! You made me laugh!
You can use awesome spray cleaner for the rubber it comes off easily

Why does he wipe and hold things like he's never done the motion in his life XD
Thx bro
Did you know that you can repair the rubber soles with superglue. Works great!
I have one question: Wouldn't the baking soda discolor the canvas a little?
I use toothpaste on the white part and it works awsome
Rosalyn Contreras because of the sodium bicarbonate
Awesome! I just did it! Thanks for the tip
Magic eraser works amazing, and it’s probably cleaner to use than toothpaste.
I tried this, doesn't work well unless you put a lot of pressure with something abrasively effective on rubber material. In my instance, using a dense end of a terry cloth towel and putting force into it. A tooth brush, alone, is too light to remove those typical dirty stains.
i have an old blood stain on the rubber and i have yet to get that off.
damn boi, quality video
audio could be better though
dude what size are you??
Don't clean the shoe laces in hot water!!! That sets the stains in, instead use cold water
Ye
Man, my chucks hardly ever wear maybe 5 times yet are scuffed and stained just from sitting untouched. Also theyve faded without sun🙁 Anyhoo.... Really hope i can bring em back to what they were.🤞
What do we use to wash the inside sole of the shoe?
I used shoe stretcher specially for the width
Michel Hereish what’s the shoe stretcher product you used called?
@@usedblazers I think he’s referring to a shoe tree
18:10
Thank you
I was watching this in the car and 99/100 I'm wearing the same pair of converse, istg I looked at my shoes like 2 times in the span of this video (I'm wearing vans rn)
I uses toothpaste for cleaning rubber part
I have some 13 pairs of Converse, the oldest go back to before Nike bought the brand and the hardest thing to maintain over time is the white going yellow.
My dad was born in 62, grew up in the 70’s and was my age (22) in the 80’s and he swears by machine washing them straight outta the box to make em comfy. Don’t think he machine dried them though. And I’ve always heard to get them wet and wear them till they dry so they mold to your feet. I broke mine in the old fashioned way but idk how they’ll change when I wash them in the washer.
Am i the only who is concerned about his macbook most?
I NEEDED THIS I JUST GOT CONVERSE TODAY AND I DON'T WANT THEM T MESS UP AND WHEN THEY DO I KNOW HOW TO FIX THEM XD
His channel is called Buzzcuts.......and yet.........he doesn’t have a buzz cut. That’s disappointing 😂
Ouh shit, That color :0
Then what about black leather converse
Suprisingly no one said , " FIRST!!! TO SEE VID SQUAD "
FIRST TO SEE THIS VIDEO SQUAD
will the shoe smell like vinegar after it’s all dry?
No, the smell of vinegar disappears completely and it will smell like fresh nothing lol
Has anyone tried color safe bleach (hydrogen peroxide)?
Does it actually work? Do my colors stay the same, and will it work on converse all stars?
I just threw up on mine n want to clean the chunks off them
Hi. My shoes in 7,5 are too small but in 8 are too large. I have a pair in 8, would the drier help me shrink them, really? Theyre not that large.
You can just go ahead and buy a pair of thicker insoles, which will make your shoes fit slightly tighter
Murphys oil soap and water,a tooth brush and an old towel,scrub the soles and toe with the Murphys oil soap and water,then use the towel to remove the foam and soil. Do not use on the white cloth part ,it dries yellow.,I know this is 5yrs late
Guys, this is a lot easier and faster!
1.get some dish detergent
2.put it on a paper towel
3.scrubba dub dub dem converse up
4.dry them off so that there is no soap
5.boom done that’s it! Peace
might want to use a cloth instead of a paper towel, and perhaps rinse them down afterwards with some water eh ?
Dimitri Pappas, oh yeah I forgot to add rinse them afterwards with water in the steps, paper towel worked just fine for me but thx
I have the same color but low tops
If you want to fix the color in the canvas you can use fabric paint or rit. It works… and it doesn’t bleed. I’ve been using fabric markers and dye for years.
NEVER TRY TO PUT YOUR SHOES IN THE FREEZER IF YOU STILL LIVE IN YOUR PARENTS' HOUSE
I used to wash my Cuck T's by hand, i got the red raspberry (most commented on color i have owned. Get comments daily on my "pink" Chuck's, I have been dubbed the nickname "Raspberry", but all good). I washed these by machine after a few months. I noticed the red canvas would turn black where the laces contacted it (if anyone could let me know if you had similar issues). Even worse, i washed in warm, and it deteriorated the glue in spots around the sidewall, unsticking it from the canvas. Shoes came out clean, a hair faded, but noticeable am going to get another pair. Favorite shoe yet. I have 8 pairs.
Arm n hammer*
get the converse 70s way more qualaty
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND JUST SPEND $6 AND BUY TWO MAGIC ERASERS AND THEY WILL CLEAN THE RUBBER AND SOLES 20X BETTER IN LESS THEN 5 MINUTES 👌🏽👌🏽
