Woman's savvy cleaning trick that makes white trainers look brand new

Fresh white trainers are something we all love to wear and show off at social events. 

But that straight from the box feel doesn't last long at all, especially when you wear them to outdoor events.  

Now one cleaning fan has come to the rescue of all trainer lovers by sharing her amazing hack to make white shoes look brand new. 

Posting in a popular Facebook cleaning group, Angela Marie King shared her genius hack, ManchesterEveningNews reports.  

Alongside a picture of her bright white trainers, Angela wrote: "After washing these constantly and not being able to get them back white, I was going to put them in the bin! Then I tried elbow grease and a dishwasher tablet.... they are like new! WOW!"

Confirming the exact process she'd followed, Angela directed: "Spray the Elbow Grease on and leave it to soak in for 10 minutes then pop them in the washing machine with your usual detergent and a dishwasher tablet." 

The post quickly gained traction, and received almost a thousand likes and hundreds of comments from people sharing their own trainer cleaning hacks. 

"I sprayed my grandson's trainers with elbow grease put them in pillow slip they were like new again," said one.

Another Facebook user added: "My other half did his white Air Force 1s last night used a toothbrush to scrub Pink Stuff on them then put them in washing machine with a dishwasher tablet and washing tablet and Fairy stain remover and they have also come up like new."

"Omg been trying to get mine back to white will have to do this this evening!" added another excited shopper. 

Elbow Grease is currently on offer for £1 at Tesco, while a pack of Fairy Platinum Plus dishwasher tablets costs £9 for a pack of 60 on Amazon.
