TikTok account Howpluggedareyou divided people over their hack to make white trainers look clean and new
(Picture: TikTok/howpluggedareyou)We can all relate to the struggle of keeping white trainers clean; you either have to take up the time-consuming task of constantly wiping them down or splash the cash to get them professionally cleaned.
But one TikToker has come up with a bizarre solution to this problem that has divided opinion.
A TikTok account called “Howpluggedareyou” shared how they were able to get their Nike Air Force 1s looking brand spanking new - all thanks to a bit of white paint.
You can watch the video in full here.
“When you need new Nike Air Force 1s but you’re on a budget,” the video is jokingly captioned.
In the video, a man can be seen wearing white Nike Air Force 1s that were looking a bit dirty, that is until another person comes in with a paint spraying gun that was able to make the dirt disappear within seconds and returned the trainers to a dazzling white.
It’s not exactly a cleaning process per se, but we guess it does the desired job at making the shoes look brand new.
Since posting the hack, the video has received a staggering 22.7m, along with 1.8m likes and thousands of comments from people sharing their thoughts on the trick.
Some were impressed with the quick money-saving solution.
One person wrote: “You just saved yourself 150 bucks.”
“Wait you’re on to something,” another person said.
Someone else added: “And with all the same comfort of the old pair.”
“The best DIY I’ve ever seen!” A fourth person replied.
Elsewhere, there were some that weren’t as impressed with the trick and questioned why cleaning them wasn’t a good enough method.
One person said: “Just buy a shoe cleaner.”
“Or you could just use a washing machine?” Another person suggested.
Someone else wrote: “Or you could just wash it.”
“They finna look mad crusty over time,” a fourth person added.
We still have a feeling paint gun sales are going to soar after this viral TikTok.
