When cleaning the van, you can familiarize yourself with the canvas surface with a soft brush. After cleaning, put it in a cool, dry and ventilated place to dry, and don't expose it to the sun. You know, rubber soles are easily degummed after being cleaned with cold water and exposed to high temperature.
I. Maintenance of vans shoes
The van is mainly made of vulcanized shoes, which are comfortable, wear-resistant, foot-nourishing, natural and harmless, and hand-made. Try to avoid rain, stains and scratches when wearing.
Avoid exposure to sunlight when storing. When you don't wear it for a long time, remove the dust on the surface, put a newspaper or shoe last in the shoe to avoid extrusion deformation and do a good job of dust prevention.
You can wrap your shoes in moisture-proof paper and put them in a shoe box, and store them in a cool and ventilated place to avoid oxidation, fading or yellowing of your shoes.
Shoes made of different materials have different cleaning and maintenance methods, which are divided into the following categories:
1, canvas upper
Canvas is familiar to everyone. Its raw materials are cotton and hemp. According to fabric density, it can be divided into canvas and canvas. Tents are made of canvas, and canvas shoes are made of canvas.
Use gentle and even force when cleaning, do not brush fiercely, and do not wash by machine. Do not contact with chemicals such as acid, alkali and salt to avoid degumming, corrosion and deformation. You can use a soft brush or waste toothbrush to dip in some water or cleaning liquid and brush it gently, so as not to let the adhesive part between the shoe edge and the upper come into contact with water as much as possible.
It takes patience to brush shoes. If the brush is too hard or too hard, it will damage the surface of canvas shoes, make the shoes rough and the printing fade. Shoe edges that are prone to yellowing can be wiped with nail polish remover. Be sure to clean up the residual detergent after cleaning, then wipe the shoes with a wet towel and put them in a ventilated and cool place to dry naturally.
Don't expose your shoes to the sun. When drying, pay attention to spreading a layer of paper towels to prevent oxidation and yellowing. Shoelaces can also be washed by hand in the same way.
2. Suede/suede upper
Turning fur is the same concept as two-layer suede and suede, and it is the part after cutting the first layer of leather from thick leather.
Do not use any detergent and spray to avoid damaging the leather surface. When there is dirt, directly twist the wet and dry cloth to wipe it, or gently brush it with a soft brush after it is wet. Dirt is mainly due to dust accumulation. Do not expose to high temperature, machine wash or rinse.
3. Top leather/suede upper
Layered leather is made of top-grade rawhide, which is wear-resistant and comfortable to wear, and can show the beauty of natural patterns of animal skin.
You can use a wet towel and some professional shoe polish. Because the leather surface is rich in fiber and easy to absorb dust particles, the general dust and soil on the suede upper can also be treated with a suede brush.
Second, the van shoes are clean.
Never wash canvas shoes with washing powder and soap like Vans. Washing powder fades, and washing powder or bleach will make shoes fade.
After brushing your shoes with toothpaste, be sure to rinse them off and wrap them in white paper towels before you can put them in the sun or dry them naturally.
If it is canvas shoes, you can apply toothpaste as a cleaner on the surface and use a soft brush to fiddle with the vamp along the lines. Rinse with water again. Let's go When drying, be sure to put a layer of toilet paper on your shoes and bread and wrap them all up! This is done to avoid the contact between the canvas upper and the air and make your upper as white as new.
Vans shoes are generally washed with some neutral detergents and soaps, and the detergents and soaps must be rinsed clean when washing, and remember that there can be no residue.
Don't take it directly in the sun when drying, it will burn the upper of the shoes and easily break; You can take it directly to the shade to blow dry.
It is recommended to wrap the surface of shoes with toilet paper when drying, because white paper has certain adsorption capacity and will bring out the residual detergent components in shoes. When the shoes are dry, you may find that the paper turns yellow, but the shoes are white.
Vans vulcanized shoes generally have white edges and soles, which are easy to get dirty. If you wear vans shoes for a long time, you can buy a piece of raw rubber or some degreased shoes, which can easily deal with the problem of the outsole.
