THERE’S nothing sadder than a pair of white trainers which have become less than gleaming.
But one woman has come up with a genius solution for getting a pair of old kicks looking brand new.
Posting in Facebook group ‘Mrs Hinch Made Me Do It’, she shared a snap of a her filthy shoes before showing them transformed into a sparkling clean pair.
Captioning the images, she wrote: “That was a successful attempt at saving trainers.”
Explaining how she was able to scrub them up, she added: “I took the laces out and put them in bleach and oxi stain remover with boiling water.
“I sprayed the trainers with Elbow Grease then put them in the sink with scalding water and bleach and scrubbed with a Minky. I then put them in the washing machine.
They look like a brand new pair.
