Deep cleaning: how to wash your sneakers without damaging them

Sneakers are a daily essential, but constant use leads to dirt buildup and color fading. To clean them effectively without harming the materials, follow these steps:


1. Removing Surface Dirt

Before washing, wipe off excess dirt with a cloth or soft brush to prevent it from embedding further during the wash.


2. Effective Washing with the Right Product

For a deep clean without compromising the quality of your sneakers, use Búfalo Sneaker Detergent. Its powerful formula penetrates the fibers, eliminating odors and leaving a lasting freshness.


  • Remove laces and insoles before washing.
  • Use a laundry bag to protect your sneakers.
  • Wash at a maximum of 30°C on a delicate cycle with the lowest spin setting or without spinning.
  • Never use a dryer or place them directly on a radiator to dry.

3. Restoring Color and Finish

If your sneakers are white and made of textile, leather, or synthetic material, apply Búfalo Blanco to restore color intensity and cover signs of wear.

For smooth leather sneakers (of any color), use All Colors Self-Shining Cream, which nourishes the leather and provides a high-shine finish without the need for polishing.


4. Long-Lasting Protection

To prevent stains and extend cleanliness, apply Super Impregnator spray, which creates a protective barrier without affecting the breathability of the material.


By following these steps, your sneakers will stay spotless and protected from daily wear and tear.
