How to return the original whiteness to the sneakers and sneakers?

Naturally, the first thing that comes to mind in such a matter is just to wash. You can do this manually using a household brush or use machinery. Now many washing machines have a mode of "sports shoes", which allows us to greatly simplify the way of life - for example, washing the sneakers quickly and efficiently.

Important! Before beginning any manipulation with sports shoes, remove the shoelaces and stuff them inside with paper. This will then allow you to avoid the hassle with the washing out of detergents inside the products.

The most simple and effective ways to whiten sneakers, which do not even need white shoe paint:

1. An ordinary stationery eraser - it will help to easily erase black traces of strips from the sole.
2. Apply toothpaste or powder on a brush with soft bristles - it will be an economic or old tooth, there is no difference. Rub into the surface of the sneakers. Pay special attention to the dirtiest places, but do it gently, without excessive pressure.
3. If you need to quickly give a pair of shoes a presentable appearance, chalk it with chalk. The result is achieved very quickly, but it is very short-lived. According to fans of this method, it works until the first rain.
4. A wonderful tool for whitening athletic shoes can be made from improvised means. Mix in equal proportions washing powder, hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice or vinegar. As a result, you should get pasty mixture. It should be used in the same way as toothpaste.

If the bleaching methods listed above do not give the desired result or the sneaker material has small defects, then the paint for white shoes will help you.

How to prepare sneakers for painting?

The first stage of painting any shoes is thorough preparation. On how much you will do it qualitatively, the result obtained and the longevity of the coating will directly depend.

First, the sneakers need to be carefully cleaned of dust and dirt. Better yet - completely wash, so you do not have to do it in the near future after painting. Yes, and much nicer to walk in sneakers, which are beautiful not only from the outside, but also inside.

Then the surface of the shoe or individual areas should be degreased. This is necessary so that the paint for the shoes, whether white or colored, well meshed with the material. To cope with this task qualitatively and quickly will help special cleaners. You can buy a special for shoes or for car dealers.

But if you do not want to spend additional money for their acquisition, the usual means will come to the rescue:

1. Alcohol perfectly degreases any surfaces. It will also help remove the protective film from some of the decorative elements of the sneakers that you want to paint.
2. A solution of household soap and ammonia is also good at the task. But to apply this liquid is better in the open air because of a specific smell.
3. You can use the usual colorless liquid for removing varnish. Direct use of acetone is not recommended, since it can damage the material itself.

Important! The skimmed surface of shoes should be completely matte, without a hint of glossy shine.

After cleaning the shoes, they must be carefully dried. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to use batteries or electric dryers, as this can cause deformation of the thing itself.

After 100% drying, many can not wait to immediately start painting. But do not rush. Still need to protect from hitting those parts of the shoes that you do not want to cover with paint for white shoes:

1. The sole and decor elements are covered with paint tape or plaster on a fabric basis.
2. Put newspapers or cloth in the middle of the sneakers. This will protect the interior from the ingress of colorants, and the outer surface will be straightened, without bends.

Paint choice

When choosing a shoe paint, you need to rely on the type of material from which the sneakers are made, their color, and the desired additional result.

As a rule, dye products for shoes are produced in the form of cream paint, liquid paint, spray paint or aerosol. There are paints and a kind of a powder which then it is necessary to plant independently.

What should I give priority to?- Take into account such recommendations:

1. Running shoes made of smooth leather or leatherette are easy to color and are usually painted with cream paint or liquid paint.
2. But if you want to achieve an even layer, then it is preferable to purchase an aerosol.
3. With the renewal of the color of textile or synthetic materials, it is easy to handle paint-mortar.
4. But shoes from nubuck and suede can be painted only with spray paint or spray.

Important! However, when buying dyes, it is more important to focus on the inscription on the packaging than on the form of release. For example, White's white paint from Salamander is sold as a spray, but only suitable for smooth skin and is absolutely not designed for nubuck.

Cream-paint: features of choice

Cream-colors are suitable for painting of scuffs, refreshment and restoration of color.

The advantage of such colors is that their composition is more sparing and they also take care of your shoes.

What is the best paint for shoes?- Take note of the following:

1. Cream-paint for white shoes Deckweiss from Solitaire is water resistant, contains solvents and does not crack on the folds.
2. Lovers of stylish sneakers will appreciate the color palette of a cream-restorer brand Collonil, especially interesting are gold and silver.
3. And for those who think that all cream colors have a weak coloring effect, we recommend trying Super White from Tarrago. In addition to the high content of the color pigment, this bleaching dye has another characteristic advantage - it does not stain other surfaces after drying.

Than liquid paints are better?

For the sake of justice, it should be noted that most liquid paints have a more pronounced coloring effect. Basically they are produced in a convenient form in the form of a balloon with an applicator:

1. White Novelys color solution from Saphir is designed specifically for painting white things. However, the manufacturer does not recommend the use of a colorant for bags, since even after complete drying, staining is possible.
2. "Tamaris Amaris 4Ever" Intensive whiteness "has the same drawback, although the tool does a great job with the main task.

Advantages of aerosol paints for shoe

To quickly and uniformly color the surfaces often use shoe paints in aerosol form. The peculiarity of aerosols is that they contain liquid and solid particles suspended in a gaseous medium under pressure.

Such tools not only paint things very well, but still often contain many "caring" components:

1. Spray paint for smooth leather white from the Twist Fashion Care series, thanks to natural ingredients, does not clog the pores of the skin when staining, allowing it to breathe. And jojoba oil, which is a part, creates a water-repellent film, so that the footwear is permanently protected from the negative effects of water, dirt and salt. Another of the features of the colors from this series is a wide range of colors and natural coloring components. So, the paint for white shoes Twist Fashion is enriched by the spraying of the sea pearl and white anthocyanin.
2. If you want to paint black or brown sneakers from smooth skin, you can use the aerosol paint from the Twist Casual series. Thanks to the golden amber contained in the composition, this tool not only qualitatively paints the scuffs, but also nourishes the natural skin and prevents the deformation of the sneakers.
3. And here for painting sneakers from nubuck, a special coloring aerosol from the Twist Casual Care series is excellent. As a result of the mix of dye and caring complex, this means perfectly masks attrition and eliminates minor cosmetic defects.

Important! Another remarkable feature of the aerosol paint from Twist is the lack of a dyeing effect when coming into contact with other objects, since only strongly resistant pigments are used.
