How to clean your white Converse
If it's been a long time (but a long, long time) that your beloved white Converse haven't been like that, you don't have to throw them out and buy others, unless they're so old that you've run out of soles, which can also be. In recent days the home trick of a Twitter user who has left hers as new has gone viral. If you are one of those who cannot bear to see dirt or if you have a declared war on bacteria, stop reading because there are images that can hurt your sensitivity.

Before and after
"I do miracles" @sarahtraceyy said on her Twitter account with this before and after image of her old Converse. Some of her followers called her stingy for not throwing them away and she got new ones, but can't a girl be fond of her old sneakers? But be careful because there have been other users who have tried it and it works!

This was the Converse of a Sarah Traecy follower … before trying her super trick. First you have to wet the shoes with a little water, you don't need to submerge them in a basin, eh? It's about moistening the fabric with a rag or something like that. On the other hand, in the bowl you do have to add a part of sodium bicarbonate and as a part and a half of detergent.

Now take an old toothbrush and go rubbing the shoes. Better if you do it without laces. These can be put into the basin with the water with detergent and bicarbonate of soda. Leave the shoes with all the pottingue well distributed for a long time.

Rinse the soap well and then put them in the washing machine on a short program to avoid wasting too much water. Take the opportunity to wash other sneakers or a canvas bag at the same time. Let them dry in the sun, just like the shoelaces with a little talcum powder and you will be amazed with the result. Now you can use them again in your looks!
This is how you should clean white Converse
We are blown away by the trick to clean a white Converse that a student shared on Twitter. For my part, I have always put them directly in the washing machine and yes , they looked good but they were not completely white white again . But @sarahtracey has a great trick to leave them as the first day and surely you can do it with what you have at home. Attentive because the result is the most and you can wear them again with all your looks without shame.
The first step that Sarah Tracey proposes is to get the shoes a little wet. They do not need to be submerged but they do need to be damp. You can use a cloth or a sponge. Then mix in a bowl with water a part of bicarbonate and a part and a half of detergent , with a tablespoon of the first and one and a half of the second is more than enough.
Now take an old toothbrush and rub your sneakers with this mixture. Let it sit for a long time, one or two hours is enough. Run the sponge or cloth over the Converse again and put them in the washing machine. A short program of cold water is more than enough. If you can, take the opportunity to wash other sneakers or canvas bags, so you won't waste so much water.
To finish, put a little talcum powder on top and let them dry in the sun. They stay super white, so much so that they look new. With the laces you can do the same but better if you do it separately so that there are no parts of the tongue without cleaning well. And if your soles are already too worn, take advantage of them because they are on Amazon.
