The £6 buy that’ll get your trainers looking new – one woman says it saved the £650 sneakers she ruined with fake tan | The Sun

A FASHION fan was left distraught when the designer trainers she’d splashed out on were completely ruined by fake tan.

So she decided to try to fix the issue – and turned to a £6 buy that made them as good as new again.


Stephanie Vavron couldn’t believe it when she wore fake tan and it seeped through her expensive Dolce & Gabbana shoes. 

Recalling her big error – and a serious case of bad luck – Stephanie posted a video on her TikTok account @stephanievavron.

She showed the orange stained trainers that were originally white, as she explained: “So when you spend £650 for a pair of trainers and then you wear fake tan and it comes through the trainer.

“These Dolce & Gabbana trainers are the comfiest trainers I’ve ever worn in my life – [but] they’re absolutely ruined.”

But Stephanie had something in her kitchen that she thought might be of use – Vanish’s Oxy Crystals that can be bought in supermarkets from £6.

She then continued: “Let’s use some Vanish and let’s see if I can get the fake tan stains out of it.

“First, I rinsed them with cold water, and then I popped on my Oxy Crystals and left them for about 3 hours soaking, and just scrubbed it into it.

“Then I put them in the washing machine on a really slow, cool wash.”
