There is nothing better then when you get a new pair of white trainers. They look fresh and clean but unfortunately they very quickly lose the crisp white look and start to look very mucky. I regularly have to clean them so I thought I would share my step by step guide on on how I clean white trainers so they look like new. Enjoy!
Step 1: Rinse the shoes under running water and give them a wipe to get off the easy clean grime.
Step 2: Create a whitening paste. I use the Vanish Crystal White. I mixed about a tablespoon of powder and with warm water. You can also make this whitening paste with baking soda. Once you have created this paste get a tooth brush and start rubbing it into the shoes, focusing on the more stained areas. Leave for 10 minutes or longer if needed depending how bad the stains are on your white shoes. Vanish also do a spray formula which you can buy but I didn't have this.
Step 3: Rinse the shoes under warm running water, scrub with the tooth brush while rinsing.
Step 4: Now put them in the washing machine on the the sports shoe setting. I have put them in a pillow case and I add one washing tablet.
Step 5: Stuff the shoes with plastic bags so they don't lose their shape while they are drying. Then put the shoes on a radiator to dry or if it's a sunny day but them outside to air dry.
Done! Enjoy your new shoes.
I hope you have found this useful.
Much love
Jess
