Pencil and other art supplies can cause smudges and smears on your favorite Adidas sneakers. Fortunately, it's easy to fix this problem with a few household items. Here's how to tackle those pesky stains.

How to Clean Pencil Stains from Adidas
Before starting, make sure the shoe is dry so that cleaning solution won’t leave a watermark. Then, follow these steps:
- Mix two parts white vinegar and one part baking soda in a container. This will create a paste.
- Rub the paste onto the stain using a soft cloth or sponge.
- Leave it on for a few minutes.
- Rinse the area with warm water and pat it dry with a clean cloth.
- Repeat if necessary.
This process should remove pencil marks from your shoes without damaging fabric.
Things to Keep in Mind
Pencil eraser sleeves can also be used to remove light pencil smears. However, be careful not to rub too hard, as this can damage the material of your sneakers.
You can use this method to remove dirt, mud, and other types of stains from your shoes as well, but for more stubborn ones, you may need to try a different method. It's always best to test a small hidden area of the sneakers before tackling the stain.
