Sneakers are more than just shoes—they're an expression of your style, your personality, and sometimes even collectibles. Whether you're wearing a limited-edition pair of New Balance M1000s or your favorite Air Max, with proper care, your sneakers will stay clean, stable, and fresh for longer.

Here we show you how to properly clean, care for and store your sneakers – with simple tips directly from your sneaker store in Zurich: SNEAKERZH .

1. The basics: Regular care is everything

The more often you wear your sneakers, the more important it is to clean them regularly. Even in gray Zurich weather or dusty summer street life – dirt, moisture, and UV rays take their toll on the material.

👉 Our tip:
A simple brushing after wear prevents dirt from settling in. Use a soft sneaker brush—you can get one in our shop or soon online.

2. How to clean your sneakers properly

a) For mesh & textile sneakers:

  • Lukewarm water & sneaker cleaner

  • Use a soft brush

  • Dab with a clean microfiber cloth, do not rub

b) For suede & nubuck:

  • Dry clean only!

  • Use a special suede brush

  • For stubborn stains: Nubuck eraser or special cleaner

c) For smooth leather:

  • Damp cloth + mild soap

  • Then treat with leather care to keep the material supple

3. Avoid odor: How to keep your shoes fresh

Tired of smelly sneakers?

  • Wear sneaker socks made of breathable material

  • Use shoe deodorants or activated carbon insoles

  • Let your sneakers air out after wearing – NOT in a closed shoe rack!

4. Storage: How to protect your treasures

  • Do not expose sneakers directly to the sun – UV rays bleach colors

  • Store them in a breathable cloth bag or original box

  • Shoe trees help to maintain the shape – especially with suede models
