Surprising Shoe Cleaning Hacks From Cleaning Guru Clean With Mei

Cleaning guru Clean With Mei shares surprising shoe cleaning hacks. In a recent video, Clean With Mei, a popular cleaning influencer, demonstrated unconventional yet effective methods for cleaning different types of shoes. For white sneakers, she suggests a mixture of laundry detergent and beer, which she says helps restore them to their original bright white color. "It's amazing how well this works," she says in the video, while scrubbing a pair of yellowed white sneakers. For leather shoes, she recommends a combination of petroleum jelly and hand cream, applied with a soft cloth for a polished finish. Suede shoes, she explains, benefit from a spray of hand cream mixed with conditioner, resulting in a deeper, richer color. Finally, mesh sneakers can be cleaned by soaking them overnight in a solution of laundry detergent and toothpaste. Mei's techniques offer a novel approach to shoe care, proving that sometimes, the most effective solutions are the most unexpected.
