Two consecutive posts in one night! My, I must be really hyper. Though not physically, but mentally. HAHAHAHAHA! I'm feeling bored, and I'm making a guide...


GUIDE TO MAKE YOUR WHITE CANVAS SHOES SPARKLE!

Yohohoho! I'm perfectly fine. I don't need a thermometer. 


PART I (TAKES ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO 1/2 HOUR)
First, use DYNAMO concentrated liquid "cream/paste/treacle/thick liquid". It's light blue.
You don't necessarily have to use Dynamo, any *trusted* stain cleaning concentrated cleaning paste can be used. 
Secondly, use a scrub like this:

OPTIONAL, but handy:

TOOTHBRUSHES. Old ones, to be exact. 

Next, apply Dynamo to especially concetrated muddy or dirty parts of your shoe. 
Using your scrub, scrub thoroughly throughout the whole shoe. For those teeny weeny parts, and hard-to-reach-with-a-big-headed-brush parts, use a TOOTHBRUSH. For this part, they don't have to be necessarily WHITE. 

Part II (Few hours.)

Dry them. By the window, preferably in the morning or afternoon, when the sun is going to be the SUNNIEST. Actually night also can lah, but it depends if the wind is strong enough for it to dry...

Part III (Fifteen to twenty minutes)


While the shoes are drying, they don't have to be very dry, but they can even be damp. Because the oh-so-mighty SHOE WHITE helps it to dry faster while damp. Good if you're washing your shoes right during the weekend. 

Okay, IGNORE the Snapple right behind it. Seriously, I don't care if you use Kiwi or Homebrands like Fairprice that I'm using...because, whether it is a white cat or black cat, the cat that manages to catch the mouse is a good cat. So same applies. 

I forgot to take the 'before' picture. But there's the result picture. LATER!

i) Brush the shoe white all over your shoe. For now, don't try to care about the details. 
ii) Do this again on the other shoe.
iii)Brush your first shoe again, this time, brush the details too. Brush the shoe tongue and/or interior if you want.
iv)Do this on the other shoe.
v)Going back to the other shoe, using the edge of the spongy part of the shoe white, touch up all small and dirty/blackish areas. 
vi)Repeat on the other shoe.
vii)If you're really a white shoe maniac, paint your shoelaces too.
viii)The other shoe too.
ix)Give it a final, last brush.
x) Repeat on the other shoe.
xi) Look carefully if there are other dirty areas.

If there's no more, let it dry and it's OVER AND DONE WITH! 

 Put it back at the window and let it dry thoroughly. After that, give yourself a pat on the back!
