How to Post Your Trainers for Professional Cleaning Anywhere in the UK
You do not need a sneaker cleaner on your high street. Mail in sneaker cleaning UK services let you post trainers from any postcode, get them professionally washed and detailed, and have them shipped back tracked. If you have ever searched "post trainers for cleaning uk" or "sneaker cleaning by post", this guide explains exactly how it works and what you should expect.
Why mail-in cleaning suits most of the UK
Most specialist sneaker cleaners are concentrated in London and a few other cities. If you live outside those areas, drop-off only shops are not practical. National post solves that: one flat service, the same process, whether you are in Reading, Glasgow, Cardiff, or a rural village.
Cop 'Em Clean 'Em is built for that model. You book online, pack your pair, use a free prepaid tracked label, and follow the order in your dashboard from received to shipped back.
What is included in a professional mail-in clean
The Clean 'Em package is a flat £60 per pair anywhere in the UK. It includes:
- Deep clean by material (leather, suede, mesh, knit, canvas)
- Stain removal and odour treatment
- Leather conditioning and suede protection where needed
- Midsole brightening and outsole detail
- UV sanitisation
- Free authentication check on every pair
- Free tracked shipping both ways
Standard turnaround is 7 days from when we receive your trainers. Fast-track (+£15) targets around 3 days. Optional extras at checkout include new laces (£5), re-dye (£10), and sole paint (£10).

How to post your trainers (step by step)
1. Book online
Go to Clean 'Em booking or start from the cleaning service page. Add your pair, choose any extras, and complete checkout.
2. Pack carefully
- Brush off loose mud first (do not send wet shoes in a sealed bag)
- Stuff toe box lightly with paper so shape holds in transit
- Put each pair in a plastic bag inside the box to protect in case of rain
- Use a sturdy cardboard box, not a jiffy bag alone for heavy pairs
3. Use the free tracked label
We email a prepaid label. Drop at any Post Office or Royal Mail collection point. Keep your tracking number.
4. We clean, authenticate, and return
You get status updates when trainers arrive, during cleaning, and when they ship back. Return delivery is tracked as standard.
Mail-in vs local drop-off
| Option | Best for |
|---|---|
| Mail-in (UK-wide) | Everyone outside a local shop, busy schedules, multiple pairs |
| Reading pickup | Local customers who prefer not to post |

If you are in the Reading area, free pickup and drop-off is available at checkout instead of postage.
What pairs work best for post
We clean everyday trainers, Jordans, Dunks, Yeezys, designer sneakers, running shoes, football boots, and more. See sneaker and trainer cleaning for the full category.
Pairs with heavy structural damage (sole separating, ripped uppers) may need more than a clean. We will be honest before we start if something is beyond what a wash can fix.
Common questions
