    I've found that dish soap and a good, stiff scrub brush work even better. I made white flip-flops look brand new again! And they were black after wearing them every day for a month in Rome.

    I cleaned my flip flops this past weekend and they look just as new. Thank you for your tips and tricks. I truly enjoy watching you're videos.

      I love the thought that you said this worked ...i just love wearing my flip flops. Many colors.

    I don't comment on TH-cam videos, but making an exception here.
    I bought a pair of flip flops while on vacation in Fiji (so they have sentimental value) and they have become my favorite and I wear them all the time. I wore them camping and TRASHED them. Tried to rinse them off and were still disgusting afterwards. I spent hours this morning trying to find the exact same pair to buy online but to no avail. I (not so optimistically) looked up how to clean flip flops because I was pretty sad about the thought of having to throw them out and found this video. Was pleasantly surprised I had everything that I needed - baking soda, an old toothbrush, and hydrogen peroxide so I gave it a try and voila!! It worked so THANK YOU!!

    Hi Melissa,
    Your shoe powder works like magic.... i had earlier tried dryer sheets, baking soda... but nothing worked.... your way worked... 👌

      +Zunilda Medina Oh you don't have to do that Miss Medina! I'll buy ALL of your well-worn and dirty flip-flops from you! I'll bet they could clear my sinuses better than Dristan ever could!!

    • @williamjones6276
      @williamjones6276 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +tia smalls A Brillo Pad? Okay and what happens when the steel fibers of that Brillo Pad that you used that are too small to see, get stuck sticking up in the rubber footbed of those flip-flops there Genius and you wear them and they get stuck in the soles of your feet? Then what do you do? Go ahead...I'll wait for you to respond (cue Jeopardy theme music)...TIMES UP! That's right you don't have an answer for that do you? That's because you didn't think your comment through. Anytime you use a product that is made with steel fibers, those fibers can break off and get lodged into a porous material like rubber flip-flops.

  • @venomlily1651
    @venomlily1651 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I would also recommend trying borax to clean your flip flops . It actually works and they come cleaner . Also works for the thick soled flip flops with cloth thongs.

  • @stevenmorales3515
    @stevenmorales3515 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Also, you can put dishwasher powder detergent as a powerful performance if you wear rubber one. It will remove dirt and bacteria and refresh from odor.

  • @dawnetodusksf
    @dawnetodusksf 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Melissa you are a JEWEL! I have gained so much invaluable knowledge from your videos. This info on cleaning ff's is so timely - I just jumped out of the shower and grabbed my last pair of clean ones out of my basket and reminded myself that it was time to clean the several pairs of my everyday knockarounds. Have a question: I have several pair of more expensive (Fitflop, Orthoheel) ff's that have a microfiber sole and have a more difficult time keeping them clean. They seem to really absorb moisture. Any hints for them?
    Also OT, love your nail polish - care to share the brand and the shade? Thx Dawne

  • @coleytoons

    I will give it a try. How much pressure do you recommend when scrubbing with the toothbrush? I mean do i use the same amount of pressure that i use when cleaning grout with a toothbrush? (which isn't as much as people think)

    UGH I hate Flip Flops, especially rubber ones!
    Anyway Melissa, I have a question for you... Not sure if you've ever covered this one, but how do you recommend cleaning the hair dryer? Especially the air intake at the back, cleaning out the linty (?) bits that accumulate there and eventually cause the hair dryer to overheat and crap out.

  • @punstress
    @punstress 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Those silver ones are cute. Coincidentally I just tossed a pair of last year's flip flops but that was because I noticed little navy blue crumbles on the floor whenever I moved them. Apparently they were disintegrating.
    How about cleaning shoes in general, everyday type stuff. I notice other people's shoes always look great but mine look trashed. How often should I be cleaning my shoes?

    You should also consider moisturizing your flip flops. Hair conditioner works well or just fabric softener. Let it soak covered in the conditioner for at least an hour, it'll help expand the foam closer to its original form.

    • @smith33racing

    I have a pair of Bandal flip flops and even thought they don't have a completely smooth surface, since they are rubber I think this technic should work. Bandals cost a little more than the average flip flops but they are so sturdy and fun. I have had them for almost three years. I think it is worth the price and with these shoes you can change the top strap. They have different colors and styles. If you are interested you can find them on the web. BANDALS
