I tried washing with soft scrub and a scrub brush and it's still dirty. Plus the scrub brush scratched it.
What are your tricks?

Why do they have to stay white? Let kids be kids. Let tgem get dirty.
And if ypu must, wash them in the macchne over the weekend.

This, plus you can use white liquid shoe polish to refresh later in the season.

Because in my book it's ok for kids to GET dirty. But I won't put them in dirty clothes.
I but canvas shoes or white sneakers that don't have thick padding/leather so that I can throw them in the wash after every 2-3 wears.

Step 1: buy black sneakers
Step 2: tell kids not to get them dirty
Step 3: misplace a bottle of white out
In all seriousness, white sneakers will only stay white if your child obsessively avoids dirt and cleans them constantly. Spraying them with scotch guard while brand new may help by preventing absorption of liquids, but they will likely get dirty anyway. There are sneaker cleaning products out there, but I don’t know if they really work. Best bet is to avoid white sneakers or be ok with staining.

I personally think washing a kids sneakers after 2 - 3 washes is a bit excessive.
If you want your kid to have spotless shoes, dont buy white ones. 🤦♀️

I'm happy they get dirty during the day but I like to send them clean in the morning. Just like laundry gets washed, and they change daily, dirty shoes should get washed too.

I think it's fake leather. That might be the problem. So I wouldn't risk washing it in the machine. I'll try a sponge. Thank you.

Ok, you do you. I have never heard of people washing kids sneakers every day. Or even every few days.

We wash off mud. Not scuffs or regular dirt and dust. They are shoes! Meant to protect your feet from stuff on the ground!
My teens keep their white shoes whit if they care.

That's the reason I avoid white shoes in general.

My kids wipe them with baby wipes. We also have white shoe polish for scuffs.

My kid uses a designated toothbrush- no scratching, gets into the crevices.
