Brilio.net - White shoes are always a favorite choice because of their simple and elegant appearance. Unfortunately, white is easily dirty and makes shoes look dull quickly.
Dust, mud, even oil stains can easily stick to the surface of white shoes. If left too long, the stains will be increasingly difficult to clean and reduce the beauty of the shoes.
Many people think washing white shoes with detergent is the best solution. In fact, detergent can actually damage the shoe material and leave residue that makes the white color even duller.
There are other more effective ways to clean stubborn stains on white shoes. One of them is a trick shared by the TikTok account @farhanbashel.
"Hack whitening shoes in 5 seconds," he explained in the video.
At the beginning of the video, he shows a pair of white shoes that are already looking dirty. The shoes are ready to be cleaned with a simple trick.

Dish soap contains surfactants that are effective in removing stubborn oil and dirt. This substance works by breaking down oil and fat particles, so that stains that stick to the surface of the shoe can be more easily dissolved and removed.
Toothpaste contains mild abrasives such as calcium carbonate or silica, which work to remove stains without damaging the surface of the shoe. The whitening content in toothpaste also helps restore the original white color to parts that have turned yellow or dull.
While baking soda acts as a natural brightening agent, this additional kitchen ingredient helps lift dirt more effectively, resulting in maximum cleaning results.

One part of the shoe that has been cleaned looks much whiter and brighter. Meanwhile, the other side still looks dirty because it has not been smeared with the cleaning mixture.
"Is this gone? 3, 2, 1 Wow, it's so white!" he said while showing the results.

This simple trick is proven to restore the white color of your shoes in seconds. So, if your white shoes are dirty, don't worry anymore.
In addition to cleaning them this way, maintaining the cleanliness of white shoes regularly is also important to keep them looking new and durable. Cleaning them after wearing them, especially if they get stained, can prevent dirt from sticking for longer.
Storing them in a dry and clean place also helps to avoid mold and discoloration. Avoid using them in areas that are easily dirty or muddy to keep your shoes looking cool.
