Carolina used a tiny drop of toothpaste on an old toothbrush, then gently scrubbed the surface.
She wiped the toothbrush in one motion, starting at the front and then working her way back.
After a few minutes, the toothpaste was wiped off with a clean damp cloth.
It’s important to only use white toothpaste without gel on white-soled sneakers and to test a small area of the shoe beforehand.
Since toothpaste can help whiten and whiten teeth, the bathroom clip also worked wonders cleaning Carolina’s sneakers.
The simple trick would be ideal for those who care about their sneakers but might still have a few smudges.
In the comments, other Instagram users tagged their friends to continue sharing the hack across the internet.
“Lots of good ideas here,” wrote one person.
‘Brilliant. Another cool trick is to use the Pink Stuff paste and Magic Eraser sponge,” suggested another.
Carolina has garnered a social media following of more than 4.8 million people by sharing “awesome” cleaning videos.
While the hack is ideal for adults, it probably isn’t suitable for children’s shoes.
