A woman has shared her genius trick to get dirty trainers looking brand new.
There is nothing more satisfying than opening a brand new box of crisp white trainers. Equally, when you go out in the dazzling new shoes, the stunning colour fades pretty quickly; they have to withstand all kinds of dirt and terrain.
Unlike our clothes, we can't simply throw a pair of trainers in the washing machine and expect them to look perfect. Thankfully a TikTok user has shared her "oddly satisfying", six-step tip for cleaning hack, hailed as "so good". She manages to make her trainers look good as new within minutes.
Shared on popular page @ideatimes - which has over 15million followers and over 534,500 million views on their video clips - the woman is seen putting toothpaste onto a tablespoon and pours it into a small bowl. The video raked in over 50,000 views and inundated with comments.
Next, the cleaning hack involves a tablespoon of baking soda - which is then poured into the bowl. The woman then adds a tablespoon of washing up liquid to the mix. She stirs together the three ingredients until it makes a paste.

She takes a pair of white Nike Airforce trainers and puts them in a sink. Using a toothpaste, she begins picking up the paste from the bowl and spreading it all over the areas of the trainers she wants to clean. She scrubs the paste in then wipes it off with kitchen roll.
"It does the trick," one individual said. "I'll try it," another added. Meanwhile a third commenter said: "It's so good I tried it and I like."
You can pick up a pack of baking soda for just 65p at Asda or Tesco, and cheap toothpaste costs as little as 50p from Asda.
