A surprisingly simple trick for keeping white shoes pristine has been unveiled, involving everyday household items we all have. As revealed in a recent TikTok video, the recipe calls for toothpaste, soap, and baking powder. Just as it brightens your smile, toothpaste can also add radiance to your shoes. Soap is crucial for disinfecting, while baking powder, with its fizz-inducing properties when combined with liquid, helps eradicate persistent stains. After trying out the three-product regime, one TikTok user showed how they effortlessly removed dirt and grime. The blend of toothpaste, baking soda, and hand soap, lathered onto the shoe via a brush from a small glass bowl, seemed to work miracles. One commentator on the video said: “I use this mix for pit stains, or any kind of stains on clothes. Let it sit for a bit and it works like a charm.” Another responded: “Toothpaste will do fine all by itself to clean your shoes.” @andrelifehack Time to check your air purifier #andreiemelianov #lifehack #lifehacks #andrelifehack #clean original sound – This is hack
A third said: “For anyone who owns shoes with glitter on them, the toothpaste and toothbrush trick works like a charm to get them clean.” Although a fourth joked: “I just save time and effort by not buying white shoes.” This comes after another cleaning hack for getting rid of black spots on your patio went viral. Black spots are small dark stains on a patio, which not only make it look unkept but are also a fungus which needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. It may seem obvious to try to use a pressure washer to clean away these stains but it will not work, as black spots are caused by biological growth which is deep-rooted into the surface.
