Cleaning Preparation:
1. Before cleaning your Air Max 90s, open up your Cure solution and add a couple of drops into some lukewarm water.
2. Now the solution has been prepared, remove the laces from your sneakers and dip them into the water containing the Cure Solution.
3. Rub the laces through the palm of your hands, removing any mud or stains. If the dirt persists, place the Premium Cleaning Brush into the water and then work into the lace and this should get rid of any stubborn dirt.
3. Once cleaned, allow your laces to dry overnight.
The Uppers / Outsole:
1. To start the cleaning process of the uppers, add a few more drops of the Cure solution to your Premium Cleaning Brush, dip it into the bowl of water, and start to work the brush onto your Air Max 90s in a circular motion. Start with mudguards and forefoot, then slowly work your way to the laterals and heels.
Once you start working the Cure Solution into your sneakers, you’ll see that it will start to create a foam-like consistency, this means that this actioned-packed formula is working effectively.
2. For the outsole, apply a little more pressure to your Premium Cleaning Brush to ensure that all dirt is removed from all the grooves and hard-to-reach areas.
3. Repeat steps 1&2 until desired results are achieved and don’t forget to switch to clean water.
Final steps:
1. Finish off your cleans by wiping down your Air Max 90s with the Microfibre cloth provided to remove any excess foam and moisture.
