Cleaning Phase

Toothpaste-Carbonate

You can use toothpaste when cleaning white sneakers. Wet the surface of your shoes with a damp cloth. Apply some toothpaste on an old toothbrush and dip it in baking soda. Brush your shoes in circular motions. After the brushing process is finished, wipe the toothpaste residues on the surface with a damp cloth dipped in warm water and leave your shoes to dry.

Baking Soda and Dishwashing Liquid

Get a paste-like cleaner by mixing 2 tablespoons of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of dishwashing detergent, and apply this cleaner to the surface of your shoes with a toothbrush. After rinsing with warm water and a towel, let it dry and as it dries, you can shake off the white powder left by the baking soda on the surface by shaking your shoes.
