2. Restore You Kid’s Sneakers
Our kids all have those shoes that look so dirty they should be thrown out or given away. However, before you throw those out, try cleaning them with some toothpaste and a piece of steel wool. Scrub really hard on all the dirty spots on the sneakers, then rinse them off really well. The white parts will actually look white and the color of the sneakers may actually come back to life. No need to buy new shoes so often from now on.
