Sneaker cleaning
Sneaker cleaning that respects the shoe
From daily beaters to the pair you queued for, sneakers deserve better than a washing machine. We deep clean mesh, knit, canvas, leather and suede uppers by hand, sort out the midsoles and fix the smell.
Your sneakers, properly cleaned
Most sneakers are built from four or five different materials stuck together. A knit upper, a suede overlay, a foam midsole, a rubber outsole and glue holding it all in place. One cleaner and one method cannot be right for all of that. So we treat each part on its own terms.
- Knit and mesh: low-foam cleaner and a soft brush, worked gently so the weave does not fuzz
- Leather panels: cleaned and lightly conditioned
- Suede overlays: kept dry, cleaned with an eraser and brush
- Midsoles: scrubbed by hand, scuffs lifted, edges detailed
- Outsoles: the grip pattern cleared of grit and dried mud
- Laces and insoles: washed separately, or swapped for fresh laces if they are past saving
Everyday pairs and collector pairs
We clean plenty of Nike, Adidas, Puma, New Balance, Skechers and Onitsuka pairs, along with Indian brands and unbranded favourites. If you are sending a limited or vintage pair, tell us. We go slower and check with you before touching anything fragile, like old glue or cracked paint.
What sneaker cleaning will not do
It will not fix torn mesh, a sole that has fully separated, or creases set deep into leather. It also cannot undo dye that has bled from one colour into another. We would rather tell you that before pickup than after.
The process
How the clean works, step by step
Pickup and a proper look
We collect from your door, note scuffs, loose soles and old stains with you, and tag each pair so nothing gets mixed up.
Laces out, dry brush first
Laces and insoles come out. Loose dirt and dried mud are brushed off before any water touches the shoe.
Cleaned by material
Mesh and canvas get a foam wash, leather a pH-balanced cleaner, suede a dry eraser and steam. One method never fits every pair.
Soles and midsoles
Rubber edges and midsoles are scrubbed by hand. Yellowed white soles get a separate whitening treatment where it is safe to use.
Deodorise and sanitise
Insoles and the inside lining are washed and treated for odour, so the shoe smells clean when you put your foot in, not just on the outside.
Air dried, laced, delivered
Shoes dry slowly in moving air with no direct heat, which is what warps glue and cracks leather. Then fresh laces in, packed, and back to you.

FAQ
Questions people ask us
Can you clean white mesh sneakers?
Yes. White mesh is one of the most common things we clean. We use a gentle foam and a soft brush so the mesh does not pill.
Do you do sneaker cleaning near me?
We pick up from your door anywhere in Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai.
Can you remove creases?
Light creases can be eased with steam and shoe trees. Deep creases in leather are permanent.
Do you replace laces?
We wash the original laces. If they are frayed or stained beyond saving, we can fit fresh ones, and we ask you first.
