And she’s now revealed her best cleaning mix to buff up your favourite kicks.
In a post to TikTok, Mila revealed that when you mix toothpaste with baking soda and dishwashing liquid, it creates the perfect cleaning mix to whiten your shoes.
The hack involves: 2tbs of baking soda, 2tbs of dishwashing liquid and 1tbs of toothpaste.
“Apply the paste on your shoes and leave for 10 minutes,” the mum said.
Then place your shoes in the washing machine.
If you don’t have access to a machine, wipe the mix off.
