About this deal
All in all, not including the drying portion (which took a few days), the whole process took less than 30 minutes total and saved me from having to spend money on a new pair of sneakers. And now I know the next time that I get my feet trampled on a crowded dance floor or take a walk through a muddy patch at the park, there's an easy way to make them sparkle again. There are many other ways to use the kit When I had tried cleaning my sneakers with The Pink Stuff before, I just used a coarse sponge ( most people who I've seen using the paste to clean their shoes use a toothbrush, but I didn't have a spare one handy). That method required a fair amount of scrubbing, and by the end, my arms were a little sore. So, I loved how the electric brush did all the work for me, saving me some time and elbow grease. Courtesy Emma Stessman Fair warning: The cleaning process can get a little messy — if you're not pressing down hard enough with the brush or if you put too much product on, there's a chance it can splatter. Though, cleanup was easy afterward (and my sink got a much-needed clean when I wiped up the splattered bits). For sneakers, the brand recommends using the largest of the four brushes in the kit. So I secured that one to the top of the scrubbing tool base, added the batteries (four AAs, which are included in the kit) and got to work.
To start, I removed the laces so I could clean those separately and have easier access to the shoe tongue. I scooped up a heavy dollop of the paste, flipped the power switch to turn on the brush and started working my way around the shoe. I slowly moved the brush across the material to ensure an even coating, letting the brush work on the areas with the biggest stains for the longest periods of time. While I had previously used the paste on these sneakers and had seen decent results, having the tools in this kit made the process so much easier — and the shoes ended up looking much cleaner, too!
