We called for help the strength of the Internet and tried tips on the restoration of this required outcome of the wardrobe.
1. Burn close shoes
For the first experiment, we chose shoes from leatherette with terribly narrow noses. Wearing them without risk rubbed the leg is impossible. The advisers from the Internet promise that shoes stretch to the half-sample.Method first - freezing
- What we needed: Zip-packs, water, freezer.
- What to do with all this: You need to fill the packages with water, put them inside the shoes and put this design in the freezer. When freezing, water will expand and stretch shoes.
- Outcome experiment: Does not work. Shoes did not become freer. Perhaps there remains too much free space in the zip packages: water, of course, expands, is not only where it follows.
The second method is heating
- What we needed: Hair dryer and thick socks.
- What to do with it: Put on the thick socks and try to fit into the shoes. We warn you, you will be uncomfortable, but it is necessary to achieve the best effect. Now direct the hairdryer (the air should be hot) on those sections of the shoes that need a stretching. Important: Do not shoot shoes until it cools.
- Outcome experiment: Works. The result exceeded our wildest expectations. Shoes greatly stretched in width and quite a bit long.
The experiment so captured us that we decided to go on. That's what came out of it.
The more layers (or the thicker socks find in the closet), the stronger the shoes are spread. Checked: The effect does not disappear even a week later.
2. Whitening soles
The Internet is littered with advice on resuscitation soles and sneakers. As part of the experiment, we decided to try several Lifehakov at once.Liquid remover VS. Micellar water
- What we needed: Michael water, lacquer removal fluid, cotton woven discs.
- What to do with it: Mix your cotton disk with liquid and thoroughly wipe contaminated areas.
Outcome experiment: Works. Micellar water and lacquer removal fluid coped equally well.
Toothpaste VS. WD-40.
- What we needed: Toothpaste, WD-40 spray, cotton disks.
- What to do with it: Apply a paste or spray the liquid on the sole, wait a few minutes, wipe. The authors of Lifehak promise that WD-40 will not just whiten the sole, but will make it waterproof.
- Outcome experiment: Works by 50%. Toothpaste coped with the task, and WD-40 is not.
Important! Do not repeat the experiment with WD-40 on shoes made from textiles - liquid leaves spots, from which it is almost impossible to get rid of.
3. Smoothing folds on sneakers and shoes
Blogger Chatel De Bonsu shared a Lifehak, which helps "revive" old sneakers. The girl got rid of the folds on the shoes for some 5 minutes, and her sneakers began to look like new. Tweet Shathant scored 350 thousand likes, users of the network rushed to try a new way of resuscitation of shoes, and We also could not stay aside.- What do you need: Socks / Old clothes / paper, small towel, iron and hot water.
- What to do with it: It is necessary to get sneakers as close as possible from the inside socks or old things. Wet the towel in hot water, put it on the races and endure the iron (the excipation function is better disabled). Do not hold the iron on the towel continuously - it needs to be lifted, so as not to burn shoes. The ironing time depends on how much your sneakers are remembered.
- Outcome: Chantal Lifehak works. Shoes looks significantly better. It's time to repeat us.
3 pairs of shoes participated in our experiment
Women's trekking shoes from textiles.
Baby perforated leather shoes.
Shoes from smooth skin.
The result of our experiment: Folds on women's shoes are smoothed, but not completely. With leather shoes, this lifehak can manage much better - shoes look like new ones. However, care must be taken: embossed on smooth leather shoes smooth together with folds.
