To clean your sneakers, firstly the cleaning expert recommends you mix up a formula using bicarb soda, dishwasher soap and the secret ingredient: Colgate toothpaste.
Once that is ready, you simply apply it on to your shoes using a scrubbing brush.
Then place your white shoes into a pillowcase, before throwing them into the washing machine for a “good clean”.
By the time they come out, they should look brand new.
Lese’s video received more than two million views, and people in the comments were quick to praise the mum’s hack.
“This is a magic concoction, works amazingly,” said one.
“Where has this been all my life?” asked another.
“Love all your hacks,” said a third.
“I am definitely trying this tomorrow,” added another.
Australian professional organiser Anita Birges also recently shared her white shoe cleaning hack to social media.
She shared a step-by-step tutorial in a video posted on her Instagram page, where she frequently shared domestic and organising tips and tricks.
To transform dirty shoes, Anita said you’ll need dishwashing liquid, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and a toothbrush.
“You will be blown away by the results,” she said.
“I have tested and tried so many sneaker cleaning hacks over the years and this is by far the most effective one I’ve seen to date.
“It takes overall about an hour to do, and you may already have these cleaning ingredients in your home.”
To make the cleaning formula, the professional organiser suggested pouring a quarter of a cup of dishwashing liquid into a small container.
Next you’re going to add half a cup of hydrogen peroxide and a quarter cup of baking soda.
“Scrape out what’s left with your toothbrush and mix it all up,” she said.
“Now you’re going to take out the laces of both shoes and you’re going to start scrubbing away. Scrub the solution all over your sneakers, inside and out, including the tongue of the sneaker.
“Be generous with the solution and dip your toothbrush in and out.”
Place the laces into what’s left of the solution.
“Leave for 45 minutes and let the solution get to work,” she said.
Anita said once the 45 minutes is up, simply pop your sneakers into a delicates laundry bag and put it in your washing machine.
Wash on a quick 30-minute cycle.
“Once your washing cycle is done, you’re going to take everything out of the delicates bag. Now this is important, do not put them in the dryer or in front of a heater,” she warned.
Anita said you need to leave the sneakers out in the sun, if possible, to dry.
“I also like to adjust the tongues as well,” she said.
The professional organiser then showed the clean sneakers, which looked “good as new”.
