I’m a cleaning whizz and my 80p hack gets rid of scuffs and scrapes on shoes instantly with basically zero effort
THERE’S nothing quite as annoying as wearing your favourite shoes only to realise you’ve scuffed or scraped them.
But it turns out there’s an easy fix – and you probably already have everything you need to do it at home.
Although scuffing your shoes might be inevitable – even if you’re very careful it still happens.
But you don’t have to fork out for pricey products to cover the scrapes.
In fact, all you need is some good old fashioned toothpaste.
The clever hack was shared on TikTok by @jordanicolebird and it’s a total game changer if you’re someone who is on the more clumsy side.
Jordan showed how badly scraped her leather Dr. Martin boots were, she said: “Lowkey thought my docs were ruined at first.”
But it turns out that a small amount of toothpaste can work wonders.
The shoe lover rubbed in the toothpaste with her fingers to the areas that were scrapped.
After the toothpaste was wiped away her boots looked as good as new.
She captioned the post: “If y’all didn’t know already toothpaste gets them scuffs off the docs real nice.”
According to Cleanipedia: “Toothpaste works for light, surface scratches only. If you can put a fingernail into it, you probably need a different treatment.”
You can also use a damp cloth instead of your fingers to help banish scrapes and scratches, remembering to rub in small circular motions.
Fellow fashion fans were so impressed with the cheap hack and couldn’t wait to try it on their own shoes.
One wrote: “OMG mine are so scuffed because I wear them for work, need to try this.”
“Omg no way I’m gonna do this,” another raved.
“Oh I need to try this mine are so bad lol,” someone else commented.
