Hacks To Bring Your Sneakers Back To Life
White sneakers look great when they’re brand new, but they may develop a less appealing shade after a significant amount of use.
We know nothing spoils a great fit like white sneakers covered in stains, smudges, and scuffs.
Here are a variety of methods you can use to get them nice and clean:
1.Mix up vinegar and baking soda along with warm water into a cup until it is in a paste-like consistency. Note – Do not use a metal bowl or spoon as this negatively reacts to the vinegar.
2. Maize meal and water would probably be the most ‘traditional’ way of getting those sneakers fresh and clean. This would be done in the same way as above, mix the maize meal with water into a paste-like consistency.
3. Apply nail polish remover onto a cotton ball and scrub the scuff marks with the remover until cleaned. The scuff mark should fade in appearance almost instantly.
4. Scrub out scuffs with whitening toothpaste. Apply the toothpaste directly to the scuff mark and scrub at it with a toothbrush. Adding baking soda has additional benefits as a cleanser.
5. Apply petroleum jelly and let it sit for five minutes before wiping it away with a damp rag. This clings to the dirty particles of scuffed up material and lifts away the any dirt
Its time to bring your look back to life gents, brighten up your look and instantly elevate an outfit to be a little sharper

Thanks for these tips Manbox. We are outdoors a lot and always in the mud, these hacks will work great with mine and my sons shoes after a messy bike ride in the veld !
Nail polish remover works great, I even found that alcohol sanitizers also do the trick, spray some on an old cloth or wet wipe, works like a bomb, give it a try boys !
Am used to maize meal and corn starch but have found them to sometimes make the sneakers yellow if left on too long. Am busy with the baking soda and vinegar now so 🤞
We love to quad bike and 4×4 in the bush, I tried the vinegar and baking soda hack, works like a bomb, cleaned all the stubborn mud off my shoes, thanks Manbox, will definitely be giving the other hacks a try !
