If you have paint on your New Balance sneakers, don't worry! Paint stains can be removed using a few simple steps.
For leather New Balance shoes, you will need a few supplies:
Start by wiping away any excess paint with a damp cloth. Then, mix a solution of one part white vinegar and one part water, and apply it to the stain with a cloth. Allow it to sit for five to ten minutes, then wipe off with a damp cloth. If this does not remove the stain, apply detergent directly to the stain and soak for an additional five to ten minutes before wiping off with a damp cloth.
For canvas New Balance shoes, you will need a few supplies:
Start by wiping away any excess paint with a damp cloth. Then, apply a small amount of dish soap to the stain, and scrub gently in a circular motion. Rinse away the soap with a damp cloth. If this does not remove the stain, try making a paste out of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, and apply it to the stain. Let it sit for five to ten minutes before wiping off with a damp cloth.
The best way to prevent paint stains on your New Balance shoes is to avoid wearing them when painting or working with other materials that may cause staining. You should also regularly apply a protective spray or wax coating to your shoes to help protect them from scuffs and stains.
