Hack 2: Best Hack to Restore the Color of Sneakers

After a long-term use, our sneakers usually fade away and lost their original color  but here is the hack that can easily restore the original color quickly. It also works for the yellowness in sneakers.

Step 1: Pour the ink into an alcohol bottle and shake the bottle well.

Step 2: Spray the mixture evenly on shoes

Step 3: Use the hair dryer and you will see the original color of your sneakers are restored. 

Why Do Rubber Sandals Get So Dirty?

Rubber sandals are often exposed to:

  • Dust and mud from streets and trails
  • Sweat and body oils from your feet
  • Bacteria buildup that causes bad odors

If not cleaned regularly, the grime gets embedded in the textured surface, making them look worn out and unhygienic.

Why Do Rubber Sandals Need Special Attention?

  • Rubber sandals are made for convenience, but that also means they’re exposed to a lot of grime. Here’s why they get dirty so easily:
  • Exposure to Elements: Whether it’s mud, sand, dust, or rainwater, rubber sandals bear the brunt of the environment.
  • Sweat and Oils: Your feet produce sweat and natural oils, which transfer to the sandal’s footbed and straps, making them sticky and smelly over time.
  • Bacteria and Odor: Moist, warm environments are perfect for bacterial growth. This leads to unpleasant foot odor and even mold in some cases.
  • Left uncleaned, rubber sandals can become breeding grounds for bacteria, potentially causing skin irritation and fungal infections.

Bonus Tips for Fresh, Long-Lasting Sandals

  • Add a few drops of essential oil (like tea tree or lavender) after cleaning to fight odor.
  • Clean them monthly to maintain hygiene and appearance.
  • Avoid machine washing, which can degrade the rubber over time.

Conclusion

With this simple hack using items from your kitchen, you can keep your rubber sandals clean, fresh, and looking brand new. It’s cost-effective, eco-friendly, and gentle on your favorite pair. So the next time your sandals look a little worse for wear, give this method a try and walk away with a fresh step!
