8. Brightening White Shoes
Regular wear can soon dull and stain white sneakers, so losing their perfect look. A shocking way to get their brilliance back is with dishwasher tablets. To apply this approach, dissolve a dishwasher tablet in warm water to make a cleaning solution. From your shoes, remove the laces and soak them in this solution. For the shoes themselves, carefully scrub the surface with an old toothbrush immersed in the solution, focussing particularly on any soiled spots. While the mild abrasive quality can aid remove tough stains, the cleaning chemicals in the tablet can assist break down dirt and grime. Scrub; then, using a damp cloth, wipe the shoes clean and let them air dry. This approach is great for some leather shoes and canvas, but first try on a small, discreet area to be sure it doesn’t damage the material. Often the outcome is almost new, brighter, fresher-looking white sneakers.
