To remove stains from white sneakers, a damp rag is often not enough. Certain home remedies can give the shoes a new shine.

It is also better to resist the temptation to throw them in the washing machine. If you clean your shoes in this way, you risk losing the warranty, depending on the manufacturer. In addition to toothpaste and washing-up liquid, you also need a bowl of lukewarm water, a clean cloth and a dishwashing brush. For particularly stubborn stains or a yellow tinge, it may still be necessary to use a toothbrush.
