Method 1: Laundry Detergent & Hot Water

This method is best for removing light to moderate perspiration stains from your New Balance shoes. First, fill a sink or basin with hot water and add a few drops of laundry detergent. Soak your shoes in the soapy water for at least 30 minutes. After that, remove your shoes from the soapy water, and scrub away any remaining dirt and stains with a soft brush. Rinse your shoes with cool water, and leave your shoes to air dry.

Method 2: Baking Soda

Baking soda is a great natural solution for removing perspiration stains from New Balance shoes. All you need to do is sprinkle baking soda onto the soiled area and let it sit for an hour. Once the baking soda has had time to work its magic, use a damp cloth to scrub the baking soda off. Rinse the area with cool water and you should see the stains gone.

Method 3: White Vinegar

White vinegar is another great option for cleaning perspiration stains from your New Balance shoes. Simply mix equal parts white vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle and spritz it onto the affected area. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes before scrubbing with a soft brush. Rinse the area with cool water and let shoes air dry. You should see the stains disappear.

Final Thoughts

These methods should help you remove perspiration stains from your New Balance shoes. Remember, always spot test any cleaning solution on a small inconspicuous area of the shoe before applying it to the entire surface.
