White shoes have been in fashion for several years now. Not the most practical option compared to the traditional black color.

White sneakers get dirty from the slightest touch. But dirt and black streaks can be removed with a simple trick. A couple of minutes - and the sneakers will become perfectly white.

What to clean with

You can make a cleaning agent at home if you have acetone and vinegar. This mixture has a specific smell. But it cleans everything without exaggeration.

The ingredients are mixed in a one to one ratio, and it is better to do this outdoors and always with rubber gloves.

You need to soak cotton wool in the solution and wipe the dirty pair, after which you just need to wipe the shoes with a damp clean cloth and you can hit the road.

If you don’t want to mess around with chemicals, try removing dirt from shoes with a solution of baking soda.

This is a longer process. Mix baking soda with water to form a thick paste.

Apply this mixture to white sneakers and wait 10-15 minutes, after which you can put the shoes to dry in the bright sun for several hours.

Once the soda has turned into a dry crust, all that remains is to shake it off and clean the pair with a soft brush.
