11 Top Sneaker Cleaning Services And Products To Keep Your Kicks 'Monica' Clean

Started by Neev in 2019, this brand will take care of your shoes as well as handbags, leather jackets and much more. What's really cool is that they provide pick-and-drop services starting from INR 69 only (for Delhi), and you can ship your shoes to them from other cities too. We all know that it can be tricky to clean suede, but they did a decent job at cleaning my AF1 Shadows. It took about five days for them to send me a pair, which looked as good as new! They also breathe new life into your bags, belts and jackets.

Sneakin is just too good. I’ve found myself repeatedly going here, whether it is for repair work or just cleaning. You can get your shoes picked up or drop them off at their store in Gurgaon. I sent my dog-bitten Air Force 1 for repair and cleaning, and at the end of a week, I was greeted with what looked like a brand new pair. If you are worried about your sneakers, fret not, they even WhatsApp you images of the progress. Additional services for your kicks include water protection, de-yellowing and crease prevention. They also provide services for bags, accessories and dry cleaning.

Found on Instagram, this cleaning service is quite efficient. I got my Birkenstocks cleaned from here, and god, did they require some love and care. I'd been using them nonstop for months. It took about five days from pickup to delivery, everything was smooth, and I was delivered a clean pair in a shoe bag at the end of it. They are a premium service, and the only thing I'd like more would be updates on what's happening once they start the process; otherwise, they did a spot-on job.

Price: Depending on the need.

Now, if you like to keep a kit handy at home, then the Ultimate Shoe Cleaning kit from Shoegr is a good option. In the pack, you get a cleaning solution, three types of brushes—soft, medium and hard—for the upper part, midsole and outsole, and a microfibre towel to wipe it clean. All you have to do is mix the solution in water, scrub and wipe. Leave your pair to dry, and it will be as good as new. The solution isn’t very strong, but it is all-natural and provides a decent clean.

Featured on Shark Tank, Sneakare is a well-known brand. Even Sharks, Aman and Vineeta agree that the quality of their products is top-notch. I'd suggest checking out their sneaker crates, as they definitely steal the spotlight. They have the usual cleaning products, and also a shoe deodoriser, sole guard, shoe shaper, and more.

Helios has some superb quality products to not only keep your kicks clean but also to maintain that freshness. I’ve tried their A1 crease protectors, which are sturdy yet comfortable and do the job. Another favourite from this store is their whitening mid-sole marker that works like a dream. If you own a pair of white shoes, you know what pain it is to keep them from yellowing. This marker will definitely help you out.

They popped up on Instagram because of their sneaker SPF protection (a water-repellent spray). The spray, a godsend, has nanotechnology, creating an invisible barrier that prevents any liquid from staining your shoe. Their limited product range includes a cleaning brush, a cleaning solution, an odour spray, and a cleaning towel. They also have a shoe cleaning service named the Shoe Spa.
