How To Clean Your Sneakers Without Water

Walking around the streets. Dirt. A couple drinks with friends. Spills. Hitting the skatepark. Scuffs.

We know a good activity can wreak havoc on your sneakers, and when life gets busy, keeping them fresh and clean can feel like a daily challenge. 

This is where we step in. 

Not only do we offer deep cleans that deliver a brand-new feel, but we also keep your kicks feeling fresh on the go, without the need for an official cleaning station. Whether it's for pure convenience or to give your grails some TLC, we show you the best ways to give them a clean without water.


Can You Clean Sneakers Without Water?

Yes, you can clean sneakers without water. Products such as foam cleaners, sneaker wipes, and suede erasers can help remove dirt, stains, and scuffs without needing a sink or bucket.

 

Foam On The Go With Foam Mini

Crep Protect Foam Mini

The easiest way to remove dirt and stains on the move is with our foam-based cleaner, Foam Mini. All you have to do is use the brush top to remove any loose dirt and debris before application. Then twist the bottom to unlock the foam and press down on the pump to release. 

Apply the foam to the affected area of your sneakers, then use the brush top to work it in circular motions. Repeat this process until desired results are achieved.

The best thing about Foam Mini is that you can give your footwear a foam wherever you go, no water, no mess, no hassle. Plus, it’s pocket-sized, so you can always bring it out between set breaks in festivals, sports days, after the gym, or anything in between.

Give Your Sneakers A Quick Touch-Up With Our Wipes

While Crep Protect Cure is intended for a deep clean, think of our Wipes as its accomplice in targeting dirt and grime, keeping your pairs looking fresher for longer. Here’s how it works:

1. Choose your side – each wipe has a smooth and textured side intended for different uses. The smooth side is perfect for smaller stains, e.g., light drink spills or dirt, while the textured side targets tougher stains, e.g., ketchup, mud, as well as cleaning up midsoles.

2. Give 'em a wipe – once you’ve chosen a side (or want to use both), start wiping away the dirt and stains off your sneakers. 


One amazing thing about our wipes is that they are coated in the same solution that activates the cleaning power in our Cure, so they pack a little power into your on-the-go cleaning. They’re also individually wrapped for long-lasting freshness; as long as each sachet remains sealed, you’ll never have to worry about them drying out.

Scuffs? Our Sneaker Eraser Will Sort It

We get it, suede sneakers are not the easiest to clean; that’s why removing that occasional scuff or dull patch starts with our Eraser.

Crep Protect Eraser used on a suede Air Force 1

Crafted from quartz sand and calcium powder,  it helps lift marks and scuffs while keeping your suede looking fresh when used correctly. Let’s look at how you can get the best out of your suede Eraser.

Tip 1: Use the corner of the Eraser and work into the affected area of your sneakers. Using the corner will help target the dirt buildup more effectively, while keeping the suede texture intact. 

Tip 2: Gently build up the pressure when using the Eraser, as too much pressure when rubbing the Eraser across your suede sneakers can remove too many suede layers, which, in turn, can make the suede look thin and lifeless. Start with soft strokes and build up to a medium pressure to prevent any damage.

On the plus side, the Eraser also comes in a reusable tin that fits in your pocket, bags, and luggage, so you can save your suede, wherever you go.

Now you've got everything you need to clean your sneakers without water. All that's left is to put it into practice. Let us know how it goes in the comments below!
