Designer children's shoes made by top brands are true style icons that add vitality to any outfit. However, to preserve their quality and make them last longer, it's important not to neglect their cleaning by adopting a few precautions.
In this guide, Ninna Nanna Store will help you understand how to clean, store, and protect your children's designer shoes, with lots of useful tips for guaranteed results.
Clean, dry and maintain your children's designer shoes in great condition.
When we choose designer shoes for children, we know we're investing in quality, durable, and fashionable footwear. But it's also true that children love to have fun and play freely, often even in puddles and in the rain.
Precisely for this reason, it's important to know how to extend the life of your little ones' shoes and how to clean them based on the material. While it might seem intuitively simple, it's best to avoid washing canvas and fabric shoes like Gucci sneakers in the washing machine. This is because completely immersing the shoes in water risks removing the glue, especially between the sole and the upper. Therefore, it's best to rub the shoes with a damp cloth and Marseille soap.
Suede shoes like Hugo Boss ankle boots should also be cleaned delicately with a damp cloth and Marseille soap. For more stubborn stains, you can use a specific suede eraser.
On leather sneakers like Fendi 's, you can remove stubborn dust and mud stains with a brush and periodically apply polish, avoiding harsh products that could alter the color or finish. To restore the shine of patent leather shoes like Monnalisa ballet flats, use a damp cloth to remove dust and mud.
Last but not least, when you want to clean shoes with appliques and sequins like the Monnalisa sandals with flowers on the front and cork soles, remember to pay attention to both the specific type of material and the presence of accessories.
Finally, to dry designer children's shoes, you can leave them outside with newspaper inside them, which will absorb moisture and help them retain their shape until they are completely dry.
How to clean the laces and insoles of designer children's shoes
Proper maintenance of the laces and linings of designer children's shoes also ensures a longer lifespan. Attention to details like these play a crucial role in ensuring a stylish and flawless fit for your little ones.
Ninna Nanna Store recommends washing laces once a month , or sooner if they're visibly dirty, as dirt residue can damage the fibers. First, remember to remove them from your shoes and soak them in warm water and mild detergent for 20-30 minutes to loosen the dirt. If your laces are white, you can add a tablespoon of baking soda to restore their shine. Then, scrub the laces with a cloth or soft-bristled brush, rinse well, and let them air dry.
While to clean the removable insoles of branded children's shoes you can use a Brush or a damp cloth. Also, if you remove the insoles and notice that the shoes are wet inside, let them dry thoroughly to prevent mold from forming. These small but essential tips can prolong the life of your little ones' shoes and keep them in perfect condition all season long.
