Woman's 'genius' hack to make trainers white again

We’ve all had a beloved pair of trainers we wear nearly every day but just have to throw out in the end because they’re filthy.

But now a woman has solved all of our shoe problems, by revealing her genius hack to getting them back in pristine condition.

Twitter user Sarah Tracey posted an image online showing her dirty trainers on the left and a pair of sparkling clean trainers on the right.

Sarah labelled herself a “miracle worker” for conjuring up the concoction, which includes things you probably already have in your kitchen.

After receiving over 9,000 likes on the before and after photos, Sarah then decided to reveal her secret recipe.

First off, she said she rinsed the shoes to get rid of any muck, then she mixed a 1:1.5 ratio of baking soda to detergent and scrubbed the shoes with a toothbrush.

Then she let the shoes sit for a while, before rinsing them out under the tap.
