TikTok's Trick For Sparkling White Shoes Is Already In Your Bathroom
By ALEXANDRA RODRIGUEZ
TikTok user @josezunigaimprovement has shared a trick to get your white shoes looking brand new again, and the secret ingredient is probably in your bathroom: whitening toothpaste.
To utilize this hack, apply a small dollop of any whitening toothpaste to the stains on your shoes, scrub gently with an old toothbrush, and let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Then, simply wipe away the toothpaste with a damp cloth to reveal brighter, whiter shoes. If the stains are stubborn, don't hesitate to scrub multiple times or repeat the process.
Before you dive in, conduct a spot test. Apply a tiny bit of toothpaste to a small area and let it sit for 20 minutes; if wiping it off doesn't leave a stain, you're good to go.
To clean your laces, first immerse them in water and then scrub with a toothbrush coated in toothpaste. After a brief soak, toss them into the dryer before re-lacing your shoes.
