Brilio.net - Rubber sandals are known for their high comfort and durability. This makes rubber sandals always used in various daily activities. However, with use, rubber sandals can become dull, worn and rotten due to continuous exposure to dirt or dust.
However, soft rubber sandals can certainly reduce the aesthetic appearance and tend to be less comfortable to wear. For this reason, many people abandon sandals that are rotten like this. In fact, in some cases, quite a few people throw away the sandals and buy new ones.
Even though you know, don't you? Soft rubber sandals can still be made new again if they are washed thoroughly. Some people even use bleach to remove stubborn stains on rubber sandals.
However, instead of using bleach which can damage the surface of the sandals, you can use other ingredients that are safer. A TikTok user @hildaaenii once explained more about this cleaning agent. However, before using these materials, TikTok user @hildaaenii often complained when he wanted to wash sandals made of rubber. The reason is, even though you rub it extra hard, the stubborn stains on your sandals cannot be removed 100%.
"The dirt on rubber sandals is more stubborn than ordinary sandals... it can be really difficult to clean. You have to use horsepower to rub it," explained TikTok @hildaaenii.

Reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @hildaaenii on Wednesday (17/7), the cleaning agent used was detergent. Apart from that, there is another kitchen ingredient that is also relied on for washing fleece rubber sandals, namely dishwashing soap.
How to use a number of these cleaning agents is actually quite easy. First of all, prepare a bucket and pour boiling water into it. If so, add enough dish soap and detergent. Stir until all ingredients are dissolved and mixed well.

Next, dip the sandals into the bucket. If necessary, use a tool to sprinkle the cleaning agent until all parts of the sandal are completely wet. Only then rub the sandals using a brush.

While brushing, don't forget to dip your sandals in the bucket again so that the dirt will come off even more. Then do this process until all parts of the sandal are really shiny. Finally, rinse the sandals thoroughly and dry them. That way, the sandals will look shinier. Even the color is bright again like new.
"So you're like new again, super happy, want to try it at home?" said TikTok @hildaaenii.
