What type of brush should you use to clean your sneakers?

The type of brush you use can make the difference between keeping your sneakers spotless or accidentally ruining them. For materials like canvas, mesh, or synthetic leather, you can use a medium-bristled brush.

For suede or nubuck, it's best to use a soft-bristled brush that won't alter the texture. Dr. Fresh Sneaker Cleaner is formulated for use with a variety of brush types, as its foam makes cleaning easier without excessive pressure.

If you don't have a brush, you can also use a clean microfiber cloth to scrub. The secret is to combine proper brushing with a product designed to care for your sneakers, not just clean them. Find the ideal cleaner for all materials here .
