Discover the $5 Woolworths ‘treasure’ that this Aussie mum swears by for transforming shoes

Have you ever wondered how to bring those once-trusty shoes in the back of the wardrobe back to life? Are you on the hunt for a sure-fire shoe-cleaning solution that’s affordable and can get the job done? Well, look no further, members, an Aussie mum has found the answer.


The mum recently shared her remarkable discovery in the Facebook group ‘Mums Who Clean’. She’d applied a spray called Sard Super Power Stain Remover, which can be picked up at Woolworths this week for just $5, but usually retails for $7, and the results left her and her followers stunned.

The mum had used the Sard Oils and Grimes spray on a pair of child’s leather Nikes, transforming them from scruffy and stained to sparkling white.

'I used the spray Sard and left it for an hour. Then I used hot water and a brush and lightly went over, then rinsed,' she wrote in her post. In a separate reply, she added that she’d used a $3 Scrubbing Brush from Kmart when she lightly brushed the shoes.

The impressive before-and-after pictures said it all.

'Is this for real? That’s almost unbelievable,' one mum commented.

'They look like a new pair,' said another.

'Every time I think I have too many cleaning products, along comes a post like this,' another mused.

If so many people have had similar experiences, then why spend exorbitant amounts of money on shoe polish or, worse, completely new shoes when a pocket-friendly product like Sard could do the trick? That’s why we’re sharing this tip with you all!


Want even more bang for your buck? Another parent in the group offered up their own cleaning hack.

'I just cleaned my wellies (Wellington Boots) with olive oil. Fixed my life,' they wrote.

This is how I have always cleaned my white sneakers (I only buy white sneakers). I use Sard Super Power, spray all over shoes, leave an hour or so and scrub with a toothbrush. Same results
