00:00 One of my favourite tips is white toothpaste.

00:02 I'm not familiar with that.

00:03 No, and I don't want people to go out and get the blue one.

00:05 Please use the white one.

00:07 Got to be the white one.

00:08 And you can just literally-- so we've got a little scrubby

00:10 brush here as well.

00:11 So we haven't got much time, so I'm just

00:12 going to do a really, really good demo.

00:13 Go for it.

00:14 So these little brushes here are really good.

00:15 And you said you've got one that you've tried, didn't you?

00:17 I've got one of those.

00:17 They come with different heads as well.

00:18 Yeah, you've got the different heads.

00:19 But with the white toothpaste as well,

00:37 And it will leave your feet feeling minty fresh.

00:39 It will do, and it smells good.

00:40 So you've got your bicarbonate of soda you can also use as well.

00:42 Don't use bleach.

00:43 Bleach will whiten white trainers.

00:45 Whatever you do makes them go yellow, like a tinged yellow.

00:48 So don't do that.

00:49 You can put them in the washing machine.

00:50 Use a washing machine bag.

00:51 I get worried with that though.

00:53 But do use a bag.

00:53 Do it carefully.

00:54 Magic erasers are also really good.

00:56 They don't overdo.

00:57 Yeah, great for the walls as well.
