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.

Good to know!
My son asked me to clean his Chucks. I came across your video and it was so helpful! I actually have that exact same toothpaste so I'll try that first! Thank you!
I recently bought the Chuck 70s low top after your review. Now I was looking for the cleaning methods on internet from last couple of days and your video comes up. I really appreciate. Thanks from Australia( Victoria).

I (along with every converse owner) appreciate this video, Mate😄🙌
I used to use baby wipes to clean the sole and cap of my chucks. It did a decent job. I would love yoru take on the Allen Edmonds Courtside sneakers. I just got a pair and love them.
Nick, it looks like you had a lot of fun doing this one!

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

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!!!
We used to put our Chuck Taylor's in the Dishwasher without the laces. It works also. Put them in the top cup rack with the soles facing up.

What about the colored materials of the shoe? Did it change the color on any of them ? I'm always nervous about it lighting up the colored material of my shoes.
I like the Chuck patina, it tells my story.
Magic eraser works well for the soles of the shoe
Thanks!
Nail polish remover worked best for me😊 thank you!

Hello any recommendations how to protect the rubber on converse high top? Thanks
Any ideas how to restore the black color. I washed mine and are a little faded now.
Try using soil love (at any 99 cent store green bottle) works better without being abrasive, lifts dirt, cheap and wont leave a soap stain on the canvass.
Use Brillo pads. Soap is inside works like a charm.
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.
I use Magic Eraser and baking soda into the face with water works perfect on Chuck's
That’s useful mate.
Mr clean magic eraser is awesome too
Chucks can also be thrown in washing machine . tie the laces, pull the tongue out . Air dry vertical-lean up on toe in front of window if possible - open, if possible. Takes a day.

Does that clean the soles too?
i know nail polish remover is good for removing stuff off your nails bc i've used it for that purpose
How do I clean the patch on the side of the shoe
These may be great for cleaning white wedge soles as well
I just use hand soap with bleach. Mix one part bleach to one part soap, mix and apply with toothbrush. After that I wait for 5 to 7 mins depending on the color. Then I run it under the sink. Works for me.
Is toothpaste and handsoap is capable of removing yellowish sole
That soap and toothpaste worked wonders on my chuck taylors

When my Chucks get super dirty, I have a foolproof system. 1) Open trash can 2) Throw in old Chucks 3) Log into Zappos 4) Order a new pair Works every time!

I wear mine to work-it’s the only little flair of me, so in order to continue looking “professional,” I clean them twice a year or as needed.
