Re: an earlier post, I would think twice before using MagicEraser on boost material. Look up the ingredient making up this eraser. 

Melamine foam? Is there some adverse affect between it and ETPU foam?

I'm sure changes will be made to the boost material over time, including color variations. It's unfortunate that right now all we have is white that can't be cleaned. But at least it's extremely comfortable!

Has anyone tried asking adidas for any cleaning tips on the boost material?

Have you tried nail polish remover? I have read someone mention it before that it works.

We're talking about the midsoles. If your midsoles came out "like new" after a spin cycle, then they probably weren't dirty to begin with.

Good luck with adding rubbing alcohol, acetone, gasoline, and battery acid to yall's midsoles though. Might get the stains off, but you also might be accelerating the aging process of a material that deteriorates quickly as it is.

I was talking about the sneakers in general midsole and uppers i mentioned that the Primeknit did not bleed for generel info. Anyways why would i put my sneakers in the wash if they weren't dirty? Just to clarify the uppers and midsoles were hell dirty threw them in the washing machine and they came out like new all over. (Also i didn't use a spin cycle i let them air dry after the wash cycle was complete)

Well everyone in the thread has said they've had zero success and you seem to have cracked the code nobody else could. So please, share your secrets.

What's the make and model of the washing machine. What is the brand of detergent you used. How much of that detergent did you use.

It's TPU foam, it'll pretty much absorb stains, no way to really get them out. Really the only times people have successfully cleaned it is when they actually end up rubbing off the topical layer of foam, i.e. using acetone (nail polish remover) to acidicly burn away the surface. If the stains are as deep as @joeOh29's, it's cooked. 

 

[baldgrill]

^And that's what I've been saying the whole time.

Have yet to UNDS my ultra boosts but from what everyone is saying, I'm probably going to put on a protective coating over the foam to prevent them from getting trashed.

I would try to paint it black if it got really bad and bothered me. However shoes going to get dirty that's just the way it is. They ain't going to last forever.

No need to be sarcastic mate. I'm just saying whats worked for me and if you read back in this thread other Boost owners have also had success using the washing machine too. I'm not sure why its not working for some and is for others?

 

[joeoh29]

what detergent and how much are valid questions tho =\

mind you i take really good care of my UB's... my pure boosts are basically beaters now

stay... if you have "fatter" feet, you may even want to go .5 up, or just take out the liner

Don't. Water speeds up the deterioration of TPU.

"Boost can't be cleaned"

Bruh if you need your boost shoes 100% clean drop them off at Jason Markk. Rubbing alc's pretty good for something you've been saying can't be cleaned at all. No one claimed it was a miracle solution, just better than others. Speaking of which, how about you try something new yourself instead of b*tching at everyone who is.
