All you need are a few household items and some basic care instructions. 

You'll need:

• Scrub brush
• Wash cloths
• Mild dish soap
• Toothbrush
• Paper towels
• Water

1. Scrub away dirt and debris with a soft bristle brush after each use. Don't forget to remove the laces, too. 
2. Mix two or three drops of a mild dish soap with one quart of warm water. Submerged a clean wash cloth in the water and wring it out so it is damp rather than saturated. 
3. Wrap the tip of your finger with the damp cloth and use it to scrub the surface of your white sneakers in a circular motion. Re-wet and wring out your cloth as necessary, so you do not spread dirt around the shoe.
