How to clean the rubber tips on your Converse shoes!

Hey everyone, I'm finally posting! I'm sorry it took me this long... Oh well, I'm here now!

I just recently got some Converse, and I love them! However.. As soon as I walked out of the shoe store, they were already dirty! I knew right then and there I was going to have to figure out how to re-whiten them. So I googled it, and the most popular result was baking soda! It's so easy, and it works really well!

You will need: 

Baking soda

Water

A small dish

An old toothbrush

Dirty Converse shoes

I definitely had the dirty Converse! 

I mean, they were pretty gross!

So, here's what you do. Get a small container, and add some baking soda. Now, add a tiny bit of water. If it's not enough of a paste, add a little more. You should come out with something looking like this:

Now, get your toothbrush, and apply a pea sized amount of the paste on it.

Now, scrub it in!

Look at those nice suds!

It's okay if you get some on the shoe part, it can be wiped off. After you scrub it in and get all of the dirt off, wipe it off really well with a paper towel. (You can use a napkin, a regular towel, anything to wipe it off.)

I also did the rubber part all around the edges of the bottom, but you don't have to. Your shoes should come out looking something like this!

Look at how nice those are compared to when you started!

By the time you finish, your shoes look as good as new!

It's okay if you make a bit of a mess...it's easy to clean up

It's a really nice trick to get your Converse shoes sparkling again!
