White leather sneakers emerged as a massive trend a few years ago, and it seems like it’s not dying down anytime soon. But something that we all kind of forget is that white leather sneakers tend to get pretty dirty. And, like, fast. But we can help you get your fave kicks back to pristine condition in no time.

Step 1: Prep

Tap to remove excess dirt.

Step 2: Clean

Apply a non-gel white toothpaste to an old toothbrush and add a bit of water. Gently work the paste into dirty spots.

Step 3: Wait

Leave the paste on for about 10 minutes.

Step 4: Wipe

Wipe off using a damp towel.

Step 5: Dry

Let dry. Hack: Put crumpled-up paper towels in the toes to help speed up the process.

Want more hacks? White nail polish can cover major scratches. Use a magic cleaning sponge to spot-clean stains. Hand-wash white laces with warm water to get them sparkling clean. Must use bleach? Always dilute—one part bleach to 5 parts water. Otherwise your sneakers and laces might get all weird and yellowy. And that’s not a good look.
