Where to buy sneaker cleaner
Big-box stores (Walmart, Target, and others)
Large retailers usually stock sneaker cleaners in their shoe-care section and online, typically wipes, foam cleaners, and basic kits. The range varies by store, so check online stock before you go.
Sneaker and shoe retailers
Sneaker shops often carry specialist care brands with better brushes, concentrated cleaners, and suede kits.
Online
Online stores have the widest range. Check the materials the cleaner is safe for, not only the star rating.
Sneakky Klean stores
Our stores carry the same products we use on customers' pairs: the Sneaker Care Kit and Sneakky Klean Wipes. Find a store.
How to choose a product on the shelf
- Read the materials list. It should name the materials you own. Suede needs its own product.
- Avoid bleach and harsh solvents. They yellow rubber and strip finishes.
- Check the brush. One stiff brush is not enough for knit or suede.
- Consider a concentrate if you clean often. It lasts much longer than a ready-to-use spray.
