Our generation still worries about wearing white after Labor Day. My 17 year old daughter Katie had no clue what I was talking about when we bought matching white tennis shoes on clearance at a department store. I mean, it was almost Labor Day so of course they were on clearance! These days we don't have to worry about wearing white after Labor Day for more than just fashion reasons. With Scotchgard™ Fabric & Upholstery Protector, our home and our fashions can look so fresh and clean any time of year, even after Labor Day.

Keep your kicks look fresh with Scotchgard™ Fabric & Upholstery Protector

Everyone loves a fresh pair of kicks – keep them looking out-of-the-box -new with Scotchgard™ Fabric & Upholstery Protector. Here's how:

Be sure to protect any hard surfaces around the fabric, such as wood or plastic, from overspray. We covered our work table with a plastic sheet.

We masked off the rubber edges of the soles of the shoes with masking tape to protect it. If Scotchgard™ Fabric & Upholstery Protector does get on those hard surfaces, wipe it off before it dries.

Shake the can well.

Test for colorfastness by spraying a hidden spot on the item until wet. Then rub the area with a white absorbent cloth – if any color transfers to the cloth, do not use Scotchgard™ Fabric & Upholstery Protector on this surface.

Hold the can upright and spray about 6″ from the surface of the item, sweeping in overlapping sprays. Avoid soaking the item – it's better to apply two coats than to try to soak everything with one coat.

When treating shoes, it's a good idea to remove the laces so you can get better coverage over the tongue of the shoe and over the laces themselves. Allow to dry completely between coats and before handling.

Once the shoes are completely dry, remove the masking tape.

Rethread the laces through the shoes and they're ready to wear! For maintenance, reapply Scotchgard™ Fabric & Upholstery Protector after every cleaning or annually to maintain protection.

It's ok to wear white after Labor Day

And while we're talking about fashion, I had my resident fashionista whip a few outfit ideas with these fun white tennies. And yes, we're wearing these AFTER Labor Day!

Katie styled this look for me – “fall mom”. Yes, you can dress up and dress down with white tennis shoes and you'll always look fresh if you protect them with Scotchgard™ Fabric & Upholstery Protector first.
