How to make dirty sneakers sparkling white again: The foolproof method cleaning experts swear by

A professional cleaner has revealed the easiest way to make dirt-stained sneakers white again – and it won’t take any time at all.

Anita Birges from Sydney is a cleaning and organization expert and shared her frustration with the persistent scuffs and scuffs on her family’s white sneakers.

She recently shared that by using three household ingredients you can give your beloved shoes new life.

Anita mixes 1/4 cup of dish soap, 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide, and 1/4 cup of baking soda into a paste and then uses an old toothbrush to scrub the shoes.

“I’ve tested and tried so many sneaker cleaning hacks over the years and this is by far the most effective I’ve seen yet!” she said in a video.

Although Anita prefers to use the Dawn brand, it is only available from Costco or Amazon in Australia.

Instead, you can replace it with the dish soap of your choice and the hack will work the same.

“Don’t forget to take off the laces before scrubbing,” she advised.

‘Be generous with the solution and scrub around the entire shoe, including the tongue. Dip the laces in whatever is left of the solution and let it soak for 45 minutes.’

Place your sneakers in a delicate laundry bag before putting them in the washing machine

Anita then simply puts the shoes and laces in a delicates bag and pops them in the washing machine for a 30 minute cycle.

‘Make sure you remove the insoles when you put them in the washing machine as sometimes the insoles are dyed and can run all over the shoe.

“Don’t put them in the dryer or in front of a heater when you’re done,” she warned. ‘It is better to place the shoes in the sun or let them air dry.’

Anita added: ‘You will be amazed at the results.’

A few others shared their own sneaker cleaning hacks.

‘Dishwashing tablet and on normal program in the washing machine. Like brand new!’ said a mother.

‘I use fabric spray – always works! Even white ones sparkle,” another added.

‘Wow! Those sneakers look great! This cleaning hack is a game changer,” wrote a third. ‘Thanks for sharing the recipe! I’m definitely going to try this on my own sneakers.’
