It's a good idea to wash the sneakers with soap and water first too... dish detergent and warm water or laundry detergent and warm water work well. They will become whiter if any loose dirt is removed before using baking soda or toothpaste.

I always use Colgate to clean my Jordans it really brings it back to its original color.

It's so strange you see everywhere to combined vinager (an acid) with baking soda (a base). They cancel each other out completely and leave behind salt. So you end up cleaning with salt. Stop mixing acids and bases guys! Tho, you can clean with vinager, and AFTER with baking soda, or vice versa. Just not at the same time.

I use ajax powder with or without bleach. I usually buy one or two whenever I go to the dollar store and also use an old toothbrush or any cleaning brush handy. It works really good and hardly any trouble at all . Best of all it's done in minutes.
