It's important to figure out which brush you'll need before you start. There's 2 to choose from;
#1 How to clean trainers
Wondering how to make your trainers look brand new again? Look no further. Trusted by the likes of brands and influencers worldwide, it's never been easier to get that freshly-unboxed feeling.
- Start by dry brushing your trainer (this gets rid of any loose surface dirt and avoids rubbing more dirt into the shoe once wet!)
- Take out the laces and set aside
- Grab a bowl of water and dab in your Shoe Cleaning Brush
- Shake off the excess water, then add 4-5 drops of the Premium Shoe Cleaner solution to the brush
- Move in circular motions as the solution foams up and begins to cleanse your trainer
- Whilst the shoe is still wet, take the Premium Microfiber Towel and wipe down the trainer (this attracts the dirt away from the shoe!)
- Add both sets laces to the bowl of water
- Shake off the excess water, then add 2 drops of the Premium Shoe Cleaner onto the laces
- Foam them up using your hands and finally rub them dry with the Premium Microfiber Towel
In a rush? No worries!
The team at Jason Markk recently adapted their trusted Premium Shoe Cleaning Solution as a convenient Ready-To-Use Foam application which is PERFECT for those of us in a rush. The solution is pre-diluted, meaning you don't need that extra bowl of water and can save yourself some time.

#2 Who is Jason Markk?
Jason Mark Angsuvarn grew up in Southern California, he founded his eponymous shoe care label back in '07 and now lives in Los Angeles - where JM is headquartered. For Jason, the lack of cleaning solution good enough for his prized sneakers was all it took for him to hit the market with the Jason Markk brand.
Fuelled by his love of kicks, plenty of failed homemade solutions and his drive to better the marketplace - Jason contracted a chemist to formulate a nonabrasive cleaning solution, ensuring this was delicate on suede but tough enough for rubber.
Jason Markk's social following skyrocketed when he documented his cleaning process after dropping mustard and onions from a street hot dog onto his Air Jordan 3s after a Jay-Z and Kanye West concert.
Now, Jason Markk is officially the world’s most trusted brand when it comes to premium shoe care.
