how to take care of your Allstar chuck taylor

 taking care of your Allstar Chuck Taylors.

So in my previous post I shared a bit on ways of identifying fake converse  All-stars and i'm guessing the next thing you would like to do after grabbing your first pair of chucks is know how to take care of your newly acquired kicks.

chucks are one of my all time favorite shoes,I wear Chucks for just about any occasion school,business, clubbing, you name it.I can literally pull off any outfit with these and usually after a day of "Chuck tayling"i'm left with a really dirty pair of chucks so i have found a simple D.I.Y way to get my chucks looking spanking new fresh...well kinda.

so you'll need a few basic materials to get u started:

hydrogen peroxide,I use domestos toilet bleach(don't judge me) for white chucks only!!
powdered laundry detergent.
liquid stain remover .

one hand towel (for cleanups).
mesh wash bag (using a brush might fade your shoe color). 

washing machine.

dirty towels.

Preparing your converse for washing!!

remove your laces(I usually don't cause I'm lazy but u should)

thoroughly soak your sneakers and laces in the stain remover for about five minutes.

while you wait for your sneakers to soak you can prepare the washing machine,this is where those dirty towels come into play.

If you ain't got a washing machine "no sweat" grab a bucket sit yourself down and prepare for some hand scrubbing.

remove your converse and laces from the stain remover and throw them into the washing machine together with the towels.

TIP:That filthy pair of jeans u meant to wash but never did can go in with your kicks and replace the towels. (Two birds one stone😎).just make sure the jeans won't dye your kicks if nit sure stick to towels...

add a fair amount of your powdered detergent,stain remover  (hydrogen peroxide)/mild bleach a scoop or two should do "roughly 2oz".

NB: use bleach (hydrogen peroxide) for white Chuck Taylor only.

 set your washing machine on synthetics or most suitable setting depending on brand and u good to go.

the best part is u can read a book or even take a nap or whatever as your sneakers wash..I recommend a nap for no reason at all.
 set them outside in the sun, for example. After about 12 hours, they'll be ready to go with any outfit 

Tip: dry sneakers on window sill with plenty sun exposure to quicken drying. 

Anywhere with no dust and dirt is perfect...

So that's it folks...oiulla!! your kicks are ready for some action😆
