White shoes are a staple of summer wardrobes, but the problem is they don't stay white for long! There are a few myths and unorthodox methods out there for restoring the pureness to your white shoes, however, let Tedd (the shoe expert) advise you the professional way it's done.

How's it done?

Step 1:     Remove the laces from your shoes (if applicable)

Step 2:     Spray 2-3 pumps of the Tarrago Sneaker Cleaner into a small bowl of water

Step 3:     Get your Tedd's Sneaker Brush, dip it into the bowl of water and scrub the shoe. This should work up a bit of a lather.

Step 4:     Wipe the liquid away with a clean cloth, such as a Dasco Polishing Cloth

Step 5:     Repeat steps 2-4 until you're satisfied with the result. This especially applies to stubborn stains & marks.

Step 6:     Leave your shoes to dry completely. Air dry only - don't force dry them by placing in direct heat. Shoes don't like this!

Step 7:     Once dry, apply Dasco Whitener Liquid. This can be used on any canvas/fabric and smooth leather materials. 

Step 8:     Tedd recommends applying Dasco Water Protector Spray to your shoes before wearing them again.
