Cleaning Air Force mesh, likely referring to mesh material on Air Force shoes (like Air Force 1s), involves a gentle cleaning process. Here's how to do it:
Cleaning Steps
- Prepare the Cleaning Solution: Mix a small amount of laundry detergent or mild soap with cool or lukewarm water in a bowl. This creates the cleaning solution you'll use.
- Brush Off Loose Dirt: Before applying any liquid, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove any loose dirt or debris from the mesh.
- Remove Shoelaces: Take out the shoelaces. These can be washed separately.
- Stuff the Shoes: Stuff the shoes with newspaper or shoe trees to help them maintain their shape during cleaning and drying.
- Brush with the Cleaning Solution: Dip the brush into the cleaning solution and gently scrub the mesh areas of the shoe.
- Scrub Other Parts: Clean the remaining parts of the shoe using the same solution and brush.
- Wipe Clean: Use a clean towel dampened with water to wipe away any soap residue from the shoes.
- Air Dry: Allow the shoes to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or heat, as this can damage the materials.
