Get one of those vanish soap bars (can get them on Amazon) then wet the trainers and rub it all over. Pop in the washing machine.
Did this on heavily market white trainers after a friend suggested it. Came out like brand new. |

"do you all use to clean your canvas trainers?
I have a pale pink pair that need a good clean?
Sexy, huh?
Is that the ones you go dogging in ? "
Erm, I don't go dogging but if I did I wouldn't risk my lovely trainers  |

It's never damaged any they look like new tbh."
I know loads of people who do that, really I'm just too scared. It would save a lot of time though |

For some reason I missed the washing machine bit. I wonder if it would work if I just used a scrubbing brush, Vanish bar and a damp cloth |

Washing machine seems to be the answer.
I neglected to mention that they are quite chunky, platforms. I'm not sure I want them bashing about in my trusty machine.
I'm going the vanish bar, scrubbing brush very wet cloth route or even hand wash. |

If using the washing machine, use a low temperature wash because the heat in the water can melt the glue in trainers. 30c would be fine. |

I use the Jason Markk Shoe Cleaner Essentials kit. Been using it for more than five years, still have the same bottle, and clean my white trainers every few weeks. |

I'm probably not going to use the washing machine. That's useful advice though |

I've seen that for sale. I'll try the Vanish bar first then move on to something like this I think |

I think the best bit is the brush that comes with it. It’s gentle enough for canvas and does a brilliant job cleaning without fraying. |

Warm water and normal washing liquid or laundry detergent and scrub them with a brush.
Rinse well and leave to dry.
Need to be careful using some products like vanish as they can sometimes ruin the colour of the fabric. |

I put mine in a bucket with warm water, detergent and an oxywash type stuff similar to vanish. Leave them overnight to soak. Then I use a toothbrush on them the next day to move any marks left, that haven't lifted off in the soak. The soaking means you don't have to scrub so much. |

This seems like the option for me. |

Mr muscle oven cleaner and an old toothbrush, bicarbonate of soda mixed with white vinegar mixed into paste works well too, leave in for about ten minutes, may need to do this twice and also do it outside in the fresh air |

Put them in a pillowcase, and wash them when you wash your towels. (Or just poke some towels in at the same time.) They'll bang about a bit, but the towels will soften it a bit |

I use bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar. Work it in with a toothbrush and then a clean damp cloth to clean of any excess. I do this to my white trainers and they look great. |

I’m actually doing my white NB550’s tonight !
For the canvas I’ll scrub with hot soapy water and a hard nail brush. Soak the laces overnight in washing detergent and boiling water . White vinegar 50/50 with hot water and wipes for the leather. Dry in the tumble dryer |
