“It’s a one hour wash on a 40 degree cycle.
“No scrubbing, no elbow grease. I’ve had these trainers for three years and still wear them daily for my cleaning job.”
The cleaning hack should cost about 20p worth of products.
People were seriously impressed with the before and after pictures and vowed to give the method a go.
“I’m keeping this,” one said. “Holy moly, they’re like new.”
“Wow, that's awesome,” another penned. “I'm so doing this.”
“Wow they look perfect, like just out of the box perfect,” a third weighed in.
Polished Gems’ owner hilariously responded: “They would [look brand new] if they didn’t have holes in the front from wear and tear.”
The cleaning expert added that the trainers come out of the wash better when they’re not placed inside a pillow case, contrary to popular opinion.
However, some people were concerned about putting a dishwasher tablet in your washing machine.
“I know some people advise against dishwasher tablets in washing machines, absolutely personal choice,” Polished Gems said.
