A lifehack, which was shared on Twitter by American student Sarah Tracey, is actually quite simple and doable at home. The girl captioned her post with the words “miracle worker” and revealed a secret recipe for whitening hopeless sneakers.

In order to bring your favorite sneakers back to life, take regular baking soda and washing powder and mix them in a ratio of 1:1.5. At the same time, thoroughly rinse the shoes.
Apply the mixture to the contaminated areas or over the entire area, carefully rub it in with a toothbrush and leave for an hour or two. Then rinse and wash the sneakers in a washing machine in a delicate mode. You can also do it manually, the water temperature should not exceed 86-104 °F (30-40 °C).
After washing, apply baby powder and leave to dry. Done!

This simple but useful life hack instantly became popular, having collected 100 thousand reposts and more than 300 thousand likes. However, there were users who tried to ridicule Sarah’s ingenuity, because apparently, they cost "only" $60.

Why clean when you can buy? Lol
