First, mix bleach and dish soap in a small container. Then stir it using an old toothbrush. For maximum results, you don't need to mix these two ingredients with water anymore.
Next, apply this cleaning fluid to the surface of dirty sandals that are still dry (so don't rinse them first). While smearing it, rub it using an old toothbrush. Do this process evenly until all the dirt is completely gone.

"You just need to brush it gently, don't be too rough because the material of the sandals is very soft. So you can't brush it carelessly. And you also have to use a soft brush so that the sandals don't get damaged or get holes," said YouTube Rumah Abecelo.
After brushing, leave it for a few moments so that the dirt falls off. Only then rinse with clean water and dry in the sun until dry. So, that way, the appearance of the slip-on sandals will be more shiny. Even the color of these sandals is white again, like new.
