- Today im testing all of the most popular sneaker cleaners available one the market. Every sneaker cleaner claims to be the best and have ingredients that will clean your sneaker better than anything else so i tested them all up against what you already have at home, regular old detergent. In this video i use Reshoevn8r, Crep Protect, FZ150 by shoedoc, Jason Markk and Detergent.
Let me know what you think of sneaker cleaners down in the comments below!

I restore and clean sneakers. Been doing it since 5 years and here's what I've learned:
- The Cleaner is not the key product, it's the brushes and rinsing, rinsing and even more rinsing:
I personally use 3 to 4 brushes. A soft one, a medium one and a stiff and brass bristled one for the soles. For tougher stains, a magic eraser works wonders. Rinse the shoe, once you're done with one brush. Once I'm done with the entire shoe, I rinse it under the shower, with a lot of pressure and squeeze out the water of the sock liner material 2-3 times. Washing machine is optional. Ps: I use castile soap (1 L on amazon = 12 bucks. Can use it for about 100 pairs)
- Different materials need different approaches of stain removal. F.e. if you have a canvas shoe, you need to do a ton of rinsing. Dirt can reaaaally sink deep down into the canvas material and needs to be lifted. If you don't want to rinse your shoe for about an hour, you can clean it normally, put it into the washing machine and wrap it in toilet paper afterwards. The leftover crud will rise up into the toilet paper.
This is just my approach of cleaning sneakers. You don't need to spend 20-50$ or more on cleaning supplies. Time and patience is key here. And I know it's a lot, I know hahaha. But that's just how I do things and my customers come back every time. Just wanted to to leave you guys with some advice here and it's up to you, if you wanna take it. :)
Like my comment so I can come back to this
Like my comment so that I can also come back to this video
What's your approach for cleaning suede shoes?
Fz150 is superior nothing is touching it
@@JaredEvans Brushing off the visible dirt first. Then more brushing with a brass bristle brush. Timberlands are easy to clean like that. A Suede eraser can work for tougher stains. If needed, you can clean them with some castile soap after that, but always shake off the water from the brush. Too much water can cause the suede to bleed. Once it is dry, get a medium or brass bristled brush and reset the nap of the suede. Done. :)
When I see the foam I'm in the zone!
Let’s see if shoe doc reacts to it 😂😂
I say that to my girl too.
No, when I see the zone I’m in the foam
I just saved myself a 150 bucks
Hahahah love it
I got a FZ150 kit as a gift not long ago, that stuff is magic. I use it on my fitted New Era hats as well, comes out great every damn time. FZ150 is legit.
You could use castille soap and get better results for 1/8 of the money
Yep , great on new era fittee
So you're in the zone?
@@papi-shoelostop the cap.
@@papi-shoeloif you’re broke just say so 😂😅🤣😂😅🤣
This was kind of a pointless experiment because you didn’t exactly use the cleaners like they’re designed to be used. By leaving all the crap all over the sneakers when you start, you’re essentially just mashing it all back in. You should have started by (again) washing off all of the extra mud, chocolate, coffee, hot sauce… that way the cleaners are going what they’re designed to do… work on the surface level dirt and stains. The first thing these cleaners tell you to do is remove all the extra gunk and dry brush the shoe to remove everything but the stains before cleaning. All you did was point out that if you clean gunk WITH gunk, you’ll still always have gunk.
even if you do all that , the results would be kind of the same. Cuz detergent is also as good. Paying extra for shoe cleaner is not at all necessary.
Detergent will still win though😂
Exactly, the tool doesn’t matter
@@ryanlusanta5124 Would it though? I’ve watched those shoe cleaning vids by reshoevn8r and they can get those shoes looking brand new. All Elliot did was make them about 80% clean and call it a draw. I’m curious what the end result would have looked like for each had he cleaned them properly. That’s why I said this was a pointless experiment.
you are right but that point its irrelevant to this video, just use what you have guys.
Elliot just saved himself 150 bucks!
15*
nice one@@dermagere
Meanwhile...... he spent 150$ on shoes, brushes and cleaner lol😅
@@KetchumShiney haha, elliot spend himself a hunnid and fifty bucks!
@@dermagere fr
After being cleaned they're not stained, they are 'reimagined' according to Nike.
😂 facts
💀 real bro
As someone who purchased Jason Markk, Reshoevn8r and Crep over the years, I can say that dish soap/detergent + baking soda is easily as good if not better than paying $$ for said products. When I was 10 years younger I was so scared of dishsoap "damaging" my precious sneakers so I went on buying expsnive cleaners when they are just condensed soap themselves.
People don't realize most sneakers (barring some suede ones) can just be tossed into washer with gentle cycle and won't get damaged.
dish soap is harsh, i used to use it when i was younger, its bad because it drys out leather and nubuck, it also causes the glue at midsole seams to turn a nasty yellow, jason mark and resh8ner dont do that.
Good to know
@@airtec87except most shoes barely have leather anymore. Most have very low quality leather and tons of plastic finishing on top. And all that nubuck is fake too.
Took your advice, threw my Louboutins in the washer. I'm pissed
@@InTheMindOfficial throwing a real leather sneaker into the washer won't ruin them after one wash. Nice try though.
From my eyes I thought the reshoev8ner was the winner (by a pretty small margin) but it came with three brushes and the stains had the least amount of time to set in so it probably doesn't mean much if anything. I'd guess investing in a few brushes is the best way to go!
I was thinking that too
100% agree. Brushes will play a big role with what you’re trying to scrub and what surface/material you’re scrubbing.
Watch out! The sneaker cleaning industry is gunning for Elliot. We must protect him!!
Damn is big sneaker cleaner coming??👀
@@elliotpage_when you do that much damage you got to use the sneaker cleaners laundry kit but not all of brands have a kit, cleaning it alone won’t do the job
@@elliotpage_ nah shoe doc gonna foam you up brudda
Yeah
Protect this man at all cost
I have tried multiple and fz150 is the best so far especially if you follow directions
😂😂😂Trust me every soap would make same results
@@PakiCrown bro fz150 would destroy soap don’t buy soap and save yourself 150 bucks
@@PakiCrownnot really I tried many fz 150 is the best
i can see genuine fun and passion in this video. this was really informative. keep it up!
Great video, the problem is that normal day to day sneakers get dirty not from those stuff, its those little dirts that stick to the shoe for months, and get in the sneaker, and that its super hard to get out, if u try to clean mud that has been on the shoe for 1hr its would be easier, maybe try with shoes u have really worn for couple months and went to party with or something that has creases, and see the real results! :)
People might think you're cleaning it wrong (no shoetree, no wiping, etc.). The real test is to collab with Theshowlorios, VickAlmighty, Jason Markk. same shoes, 5 different people. make it a series/episode if you can't invite them.
Yeah honestly I was thinking the same thing. I mean obviously he isn’t going to put in 100% effort to take lots of time and really get into the small areas to clean the shoes, but I feel like because of that the results were skewed.
@@aadesignscustomsthe cleaning order also effected the results, if it really did take 10-20 min per shoe then the ones cleaned later had longer for the dirt to set in
That’s gonna earn damn views too.
Just to get this type of sneaker content from you says a lot. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the video, been curious about this topic for a while now, you answered all questions in one vid and more. Plus it was very enjoyable to watch, great one as always!
Funny, informative, & different type of vid! Continued success Elliot!
you just save myself a 18-35 bucks
You are supposed to rinse dirt and other stuff first and apply the cleaner after so cleaner can work on shoe surface rather then rubbing the dirt more into sneakers
I've used Scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner on ALL of my sneakers for years and it works great! That with hot water and a dish towel, cleans bottoms and fabrics too. The key to keeping icy bottoms clear also is to clean them with EACH wear and rinse with hot water.. Free game.
This is really interesting! Thank you for this!
this is an amazing segment elliot. it really shows your creativity with sneaker content. this content was truly a banger - hope you get 1M subs soon!
Ayy thank you so much!❤️🔥🙏
I’ve only used the reshoevenator and fz150 and the fz150 is the only cleaner that I think works on shoes and it is better then laundry detergent
fz150 is not that good
You just were in the zone bro
@@pranay4059How do you know?
Wonderful concept & a video I'm personally glad someone did. Thanks for the great content!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Finally. Ive been waiting for this kind of video
I've been using dawn dish soap, warm water and a medium brush for years and it does the trick just fine. So imo yeah sneaker cleaners aren't really a necessity unless you juat like nice packaging and brand recognition.
For fz150 he’s says if it’s like that bad then you have to rinse them off first and it might take a few washes ( with fz150) to make them look brand new
Thanks for giving a review regarding to this shoe cleaners available from the market. This is want we need to see what brand is the best. You’re the best bro!
I like this video. Great alternative to what is usually posted. Helps folks realize whether any of these products are worth it
I watched those videos of shoe cleaning stuff, and I'm not convinced, using detergent is definitely good enough and safe toour kicks' materials. Been using detergent and toothbrush for decades. (Early 2000s).
Great job by the way. This is indeed an eye opener. Keep it up.
I'm so pleased no expensive sneakers were harmed in the making of this video.
I'm not, I wanted to see AF1s, Jordan 1 Carnage.
@@elmaster6207 same lol
Would love more of these kinda vids
I use a dishwashing liquid and works just as well.
As an extra option use a *charcoal mixed scented fabric softener for an added pleasant smell.
Bro can’t even clean shoes right💀💀
You should do one of these but for Sneaker Prtotector Sprays
i have the crep one and my advice is that you have to rinse the shoes and after your have to pumo te cleaner on the brush (the brush has to be wet and dont forget to go heavy on the cleaner) you have to brush the shoes until they are all foamy than you can wipe off with the microfiber cloth and it will be great. i normally buy my sneakers used because i cant afford it new and crep is great for renovating it in my opinion.
Loved you in Juno bro!
My best solution to clean sneakers that so far have worked for me all the time is: detergent with toothpaste. Mix both together and the results are insane
Just on white?
Man I hate walking through the mall and trying to avoid those shoe cleaning dudes. Every one of them wearing panda dunks, got the nerve to yell to me across the mall “Yo Fire Red 4s, come over here and let me holla at you for a quick sec!” Boy I unDS’d these today you better let me be 😂😂😂
When they call out my shoe I say “That’s what these are? Cool and keep walking”
@@5lhorse476 oh I like that. That’s good
Lol they tried to get me when wearing my black cat 4s for the second time and they still look brand new. I said look at my shoes bro, I'm good ✌️
Nice!!! Lots of hard work put in for this one. I would agree, detergent.
Legit video bro! Would be amazing if you try the special creams for sole yellowing vs peroxide you could thrift maybe 3 pairs of af1 with yellow sole or any other sneaker and test
I’m guessing what the shoe cleaners really offer other than a good cleaning is also conditioning the materials for normal real life wear . Although this was an excellent video it was a bit on the extreme side and I don’t think people would normally get their shoes this dirty in one day lol .. great video bro keep up the great work
That was my first thought people do not get they shoes this freaking filthy.
@@rosalindgentry6633 not only that, he didn't brush off the excess. That is a must or else you are just mixing in the excess dirt back into the shoe
i think it really would be an important test in suede but for this one definitely detergent
I loved this type of video ❤❤
Awesome test and I just saved myself 150 bucs. I always use detergent before the sneaker craze and only specialized cleaner I ever bought was to clean Ugg boots...but for cheap sneakers detergent with a nice soft brush is all it takes.
When you want your shoes to be fixed, FZ150 does the trick 😉
And when I see the foam, I’m in my zone
FZ150 is a scam. Awesome Orange Degreaser and Dawn soap from home works infinitely better.
Wow I just saved myself 150 bucks
When Elliot sees that foam those shoes no longer have a home!
Nice video thank you very thorough
the video we all needed, thanks Elliot!
Ayy appreciate it!
Damn, I really appreciate it bro you save me from the FZ150 I was thinking of buying. I kinda clean my shoes with shampoo/degreaser at home & tbh they don’t come out bad & I clean them pretty good. I wanted to try FZ150 due to the promotional videos but you saved me from it. Much appreciated 🙏🏼
are yall actually cleaning these shoes fr or wat ? fz150 is great ive had plenty resales on shoes
I have fz150 and it works great. You really need to scrub the shit out of shoes with stains as bad as these. In the case of this video, I’m positive (all) the shoes would have looked better with some more elbow grease. Dish soap or detergent will Forsure work, but I like supporting fz150. Also, it’s safe on all colors and materials. When I see the foam I’m in my zone
He didn’t clean the shoes right before applying FZ150. He didn’t pre wash the gunk like it says to do
@@daytripping So you say you tried FZ150 and pure curiosity how does it work when painting the white button of shoes?
He used all of these poorly only relying on the solution rather than getting that gunk off first so it straight up just mixed into the materials
Ive been wanting to mix the F150 with the Resho8 cleaner and see what happens. I want the foam but the resho8 is the best Ive used so far
That seems like a huge waste of money...just go get some laundry soap, some oxy-clean (powder form) and if needed, some foaming agent. Foaming agent can get expensive ($99 for a gallon) but it's meant to be added to your solution in small quantities, so, it goes a long way. Also, I'd suggest Auto Upholstery cleaners - Chemical Guys CWS20316 Citrus foaming cleaner, works well and is only $11.99 USD for a 16 oz bottle.
The biggest mistake that everyone makes is only going after products that are marketed as "shoe cleaning", those products will 90% of the time be a scam or overpriced/underperforming. Is there any difference between your shoes and the seats in your automobile? Not really. There's foam in most shoes, in the tongue, there's leather and other materials on shoes and in car upholstery, there's stitching in both...there's likely, no difference, therefore, there's no need to get a shoe-specific cleaner.
A mixture of OxiClean powder, Dawn dish detergent (free and clear or platinum), warm water and a nail brush. Does the job every time!!! For white laces, same mixture with a few drops of color safe bleach.
Yeah man I been using tide detergent for years and is still better than any shoe cleaner or even stain remover (like Shout) that I've ever used and is like 50x cheaper than anything else. This video is 100% correct, just get a good brush and you'll be good to go with laundry detergent.
I had doubts that this might be a sponsored vid but glad he’s being honest…ive been cleaning my sneakers using toothpaste and decent brush for years now…it smells good and doesn’t ruin the shoe material…i can say that most shoe cleaning brands are scams
ngl, same. toothpaste actually does wonders.
Could be a ad for the detergent company 🤯😂💯
oh yeah... toothpaste is the best
Fz150 fan boys are gonna be mad with this one
Lowkey kinda salt bruh 😮😅😂
You a GOAT for this 🐐🔥
Great review bud""
You didn’t use the fz150 correct
When I made a video saying Fz150 really doesn’t work the fanboys had a lot to say. I wonder if they’re going to do the same with you
You deserve more subs I hope u get 1 mil😊
I personally always enjoyed Jason Marxx. Years ago i purchased for over $100 the complete Reshoevn8r kit. The shoe trees probably held most value along with the brushes. I dont find cleaning solution essential at all. Most do have a nice foam. But there is a good chance ill never spend my money on a sneaker cleaner again. Trying different soaps is the fun of it for me.
Fz150 is a good general cleaner. Just like most others. Not a fan of the staged/ fake videos. Like the one where he insinuated a pair of orange lobsters were skated but they didn’t have a single scuff on them. Or the video where he cleaned a pair of sport blue 3s and the elephant print was completely different in the first and final shots. Don’t get me wrong, he’s great at marketing but I’m just not a fan of giving people false hope, like it’ll work miracles and get rid of actual scuffs
Ngl i think a lot of it is just repainting the shoes to look new
"Cheap labour" got me💀😂😂
Face slapping every hyped shoe cleaner😂 legendary❤❤❤
What an Awesome experiment!
Hi Elliot, can you please make a video about sneaker protect products as well?
The one thing I will give reshoevn8r is that the brushes aren't bad and getting all 3 levels of stiffness is nice. Baking soda and detergent still work best though, especially with some oxiclean if they're super bad
Great vid guess I’m using detegent from now on
Im so glad u did diz .
I been close to buying a few.
Great video with news daddy !
this was a great video idea
I was debating buying fz150 so thank you
Also if you like my buddy who would often wear his Timberlands to the pub and spill beverages all over his lovely nubuck leather shoes. As I'm sure we all know nubuck is notorious for being impossible to clean so when they get really bad hit him with a bit of fine grit sandpaper. just don't work the stitches too much, you just wanna take the very thin layer off the top and underneath will be beautiful.
Clorox 2 for color sneakers or regular Clorox for white shoes , leave in for 2 hours depending on material and use different brushes and rinse until get the results you are looking for
lol BIG fan of 3 amigos vibes, not mad at inviting the boys to come thru
Need 1 more time foam to get on the zoom 😂😂
Can you make a video on how to clean the yellow midsole? Like ultraboost or something. Thanks!
I put mine in the washing machine on a 40c with biological detergent. I pop some towels in the machine but anything that wont run will do the friction help to do the cleaning and lessens the noise.
Hey Elliot! From where are these nice purple white socks?😮
Remove your shoelaces, insert your shoes and laces into a pillow sheet. Tie the pillow sheet off. Throw shoes laces and tide pillow sheet in washer with two towels, some soap hot water. Thing. When done, remove from washer, set them out and let your shoes dry. Always works for me. Cool video though. Thanks for putting it up.
Best bet is to get some Dawn power wash spray works wonders!
yo you should do winter haul with black friday
Lmao the white coat is legit 😂😂😂😂😂
From my experience when cleaning ‘sensitive’ textures and colors e.i. the nubuck on the Lightening and Cactus Jack 4’s Jason Mark is the best/safest.
Everything else, just throw it in the washing machine with whatever detergent and air dry.
If you want to maximize the clean, brush it off and do a basic clean with soap and brushes like normal then throw it in the washing machine.
Soooo can you do this same test with the same products you bought on a nubuck and sude shoes since those are harder then a leather. I’m curious on how reshove8er does since I already own them and Pink miracle Shoe Cleaner
I got the basic rejuvenator kit and I've got 10 pair of shoes mostly Jordan all Nike the only thing I would suggest is maybe getting a bigger bottle of the solution because as you said the doctor phone you could really smell the chemicals the rejuvenator is all natural you can drink it and won't get sick ! All in all I've cleaned 5 pr.s so far! Didn't get the laundry bag. I think that would help a lot!
Yeah I got the full rejuven8r kit with the laundry bad and detergent pods it does make a huge difference…If u don’t wanna do all that FZ150 did a great job and it conditioned my Bred 4s really well
The shoe doc got some explaining to do 😂
Did the mexican penguin accent while using his product 🤣🤣😂😂😂
The shoe doc is coming for this guy right here 😂
Dawn dish soap and Dawn power spray for the soles. It cleans your shoes so well
dang i didnt know Elliot had a twin lol 😂😂
I literally have white shoes that are 10 plus years old (don’t wear them all that much) that look close to new. That I have washed with nothing more than dish soap, shampoo or whatever soap I have. And a good brush and drying towel. I think all these products are a scam… Waste of $20-$30. When you can buy a bottle of soap at the dollar store and do the same thing. Just get a good set of brushes. 🤷♂️
Straight cutting fz150 sales with this video lol I’m in the zone
Usually use washing up liquid and nail brush type thing, don't get my sneakers too dirty so this just maintains them
With all my shoes i use soap and a toothbrush. Then to finish off i put some Kiwi quick dry sneaker cleaner on and wipe them dry. That stuff leaves a nice shine on leather 😊
id love to see project farm do something like this too
YOOO this was too good. Decent brush and laundry detergent all day!!!
I use to Dawn platinum power wash a medium brush and some microfiber cloths
Can't wait to see the in Shoe DOC do his version of this test to put FZ150 in a better light. 🎩🔥
That’s crazy you say that because my personal preference was Jason mark I grew up on that brand and usually sticking to what I know works best because I have my routine I really thought it would come out on top ! And the crepe has a very strong Lysol 🍋 odor to it
Elliot just saved himself one hundred and fifty bucks !
