- 03

- Nickel release, metal eyelets
- Within REACH Annex XVII limits
How this pair is cleaned, and what will not come out.
Cotton canvas and woven textile
- 01Remove the laces and the insock and wash both separately by hand.
- 02Brush dry dirt out of the weave with a medium brush.
- 03Work cool water and a little neutral detergent into the fabric with a soft brush, in small circles.
- 04Rinse by wiping with a clean damp cloth several times. Do not hold the shoe under a tap.
- 05Stuff with white paper — coloured paper transfers dye into wet canvas — and dry in the shade for a full day.
Comes out
- Mud and dust
- Most water-based food and drink marks caught early
- Grass marks, partially
- Surface grime across the whole upper, which lifts evenly if you treat the whole panel
Stays
- Oil and grease, which sit between the yarns rather than on them
- Ink and dye transfer
- Yellowing of undyed cotton, which bleach makes worse rather than better
- Stretch: canvas that has given does not come back
- Never put these in a washing machine or a tumble dryer. Heat and the drum separate the sole from the upper.
- Never use bleach or a brightener on undyed cotton.
- Never dry them in direct sun, which drives yellowing.
