Care Instructions
To prolong the life and appearance of your New Balance 1906 sneakers, follow these care guidelines, keeping in mind the mixed material upper (mesh, synthetic, and leather/suede):
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust using a soft brush or cloth after each wear.
- Spot Cleaning: For light stains, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth. Apply to the affected area, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Mesh Areas: Can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush with mild soap.
- Leather/Synthetic Overlays: Use a dedicated leather cleaner or a damp cloth for synthetic sections. Avoid saturating leather with water.
- Suede Areas (if applicable): Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid water on suede if possible, as it can stain.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer.
- Odor Control: Use shoe deodorizers or place dryer sheets inside when not in use to control odors.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
