Ah, the white sneaker, a popular staple in almost everyone's wardrobe nowadays. But with fame comes responsibility—white sneakers are notoriously hard to keep clean.

Every day, it seems like someone comes up with a new tip on keeping your shoes sparkling, whether dabbing your trusty sports shoes in bleach or perhaps even chucking them in the washing machine.

Sadly, these methods often just don't cut it when you're trying to bring that old pair of shoes back to life.

Thanks to the internet, we've discovered a new cleaning solution that might be a game-changer: a trip to the ‘car wash’.

Grace Martin and a friend recently took to social media to show the world just how they managed to get their New Balance sneakers back to their former glory.

How, you ask? By using a pressure washer!

In a video posted online, the pair lined up their shoes against the wall of a car wash bay, taking a pressure washer typically used to get dust and grime off cars and turning it on their dirty shoes.

The result? Flawless, almost better-than-brand-new shoes in next to no time. Foolproof, right?

Well, opinions are a little mixed. Some users praised the girls for their ingenuity, some were confused as to how the idea was born, and others were just plain worried about the safety of the method. After all, what kind of physical damage could this trick do?

The comment section of the video was soon littered with all kinds of reactions, some more helpful than others.

One user cheered on the new discovery, commenting, 'Okay, I need to know which one of you came up with it, and I need her to be my friend cuz this is genius.'

Others, however, were more sceptical, with one user writing, 'The sink? The washing machine? The tub? But I guess if it works for you…'

But the most popular suggestion was to make sure that any and all body parts remain out of harm's way when using a pressure washer.

One user commented in concern, 'Doing it on your foot is making my stomach churn. You can slice a toe off!'

'For people watching: don't do it on your foot if you're using a stronger pressure washer, it can slice it,' a second added.

More like a lazy person washing shoes.
Can't believe they would pay at a car wash to something they can do by hand at home.
Anything to get noticed on the WWW.

We've been doing this with our pressure cleaner for years. With 7 kids and 14 dirty runners, it always made quick work of cleaning the mud etc away. When the boys got old enough to handle it they quite enjoyed the job.

Do you vacuum the inside of the shoe before or after cleaning and what pressure do you put in the soles of your shoes whilst you are at the carwash.
