PEOPLE have been left gobsmacked by a woman’s cleaning hack for getting dirty old trainers sparkling white again.
Viewers were left so disgusted by the online post they’ve even dubbed it a “prime example” of why they won’t eat in other people’s homes.
TikTokker @thedailynelly regularly updates her 4.4 million followers with travel, DIY and life hacks.
She recently posted her mother’s trick for getting stinky, grotty old trainers looking brand new again.
She captioned her post “the secret to clean shoes is in your kitchen,” and it’s now had over 856,000 views.
In the video, her mother can be seen loading the family dishwasher with filthy, grass-stained trainers.
The mother said: “They’re going to clean up so beautifully. You’ll be so impressed.”
Wildly, the mother and daughter duo also decided to get a few dishes done at the same time – stacking their rotten shoes around their plates, bowls and cutlery.
The proud mum defended her unusual actions by saying: “You’re cleaning it with soap, so it’s already clean.”
The pair admired their handiwork and bragged to viewers that they would be able to fit “seven or eight” pairs in at once.
And unlike sticking the footwear in a washing machine, they said the shoes would be kept safe from getting “clunked all around.”
Adding soap and closing the dishwasher up, they set it to a tough cycle and left the machine to work its magic.
When they returned, they triumphantly showed off their refreshed shoes – which were seen looking as good as new after their rinse cycle.
Holding up their washed dinnerware, they pointed the spotlessly clean results of their cutlery too.
But it seemed viewers didn’t share their enthusiasm about the hack, as they flooded the comment section with disdain.
“With the dishes is diabolical,” said one user.
“I feel like this should’ve been your family secret,” said another.
“Why not throw the toilet brush in there too?” asked someone else.
“The bravery of posting this online with your face attached to it,” said one person.
“Prime example of why I don’t eat at anyone else’s home…” another user wrote.

A WOMAN who spent £10,000 changing her face with plastic surgery has admitted not one person even noticed the difference.
Sarah English was so badly bullied about the feature when she was a child that she even had to move schools because of it.
And the insecurity affected her into her adult life too, so much so that she decided to take the plunge and shell out £10,000 on getting her nose surgically altered.
However, in a video on her TikTok page, Sarah admitted that despite undergoing the operation, not one person noticed that anything had changed.
“I spent £10,000 on a nose job and not a single person noticed that I’d had it done,” she said.
“Not a single person realised that I’d changed my face!
“And it just goes to show that whatever you’re not confident with, whatever flaws you have in your mind, nobody else cares.”
Sarah concluded the video by urging people “to “learn from my lesson” and save themselves money, because “you do not need to change a single thing about your appearance”.
Sarah shared pictures of her nose before and after the surgery with Fabulous Online, and told us what had prompted her to open up about having the op.
“The reason I spoke about my nose job is because one of the girls who used to bully me bought from my business earlier this week,” Sarah, who runs travel jewellery box company Wintour Accessories, said.
“I saw the name come through and I honestly couldn’t believe it.
“It triggered so many emotions, which is why I spoke about my nose job on TikTok.”
She added that while she doesn’t “regret” having a nose job, it “definitely wasn’t necessary”.
“And the fact not a single person noticed really proved the point that everything was in my head the entire time!” she concluded.
Commenting on her TikTok video, one person wrote: “This! I had a big clear mole removed from my face and every single person told me they’d never noticed it!”
“So funny isn’t it!!!!” Sarah replied.
“We get caught up on the smallest things when we absolutely don’t need to!”
“I always remind myself ‘how often do you look at someone and think their nose looks weird?'” another added.
“If you’re a decent person the answer is probably never.
“So nobody is looking at yours!”
“This is so true!” Sarah replied.
“Even looking at my friends, I think they’re absolutely stunning and I’m always shocked when they tell me they’re not happy with how they look.
“The mind is a funny thing!”
GEORDIE Shore fans are convinced Marnie Simpson accidentally ‘gave away’ her baby’s gender after spotting some clues.
Marnie, 33, revealed she is expecting her third child today, sharing the happy news with her partner Casey Johnson, 29, on Instagram.
But her followers soon noticed the couple could be having a girl.
One commented: “wait did casey mime ‘we’re having a girl’,” while another said: “It’s deffo a girl! Could see him saying it . Congratulations.”
Someone else pointed out: “The song in this post is ‘ to our daughter ‘,” while a fourth agreed: “the song choice also a give away as a Lullaby to my Daughter.”
Sharing a video clip, Marnie wrote: “Here we go again.”
She and her reality TV star husband Casey are already parents to Rox, born October 2019 and Oax, who she welcomed in 2022.
The star had a very difficult first birth and while pregnant with her second child she insisted she would not have any more.
She said at the time: “I would not go to three,” she said. “I think you’ve got to find the balance for yourselves.
“We want to enjoy our lives as well. We’ve not waited too long to have kids and I feel like having two, we can give them the best life possible.”
Marnie previously described her first labour, which lasted 28 hours, as traumatic and insisted on having a c-section the second time round.
Marnie was diagnosed with a chronic UTI in 2016 and after giving birth to baby Rox in 2019, her symptoms began to get a lot worse.
Marnie got engaged to X Factor singer Casey back in 2020, and they wed in May 2023.
The pair met on the show Single AF in 2017.
They confirmed their relationship just a few months after the show ended – a move that is against show rules but it didn’t seem to worry the smitten love-birds.
THE BGT judges are left gobsmacked tomorrow night as a man appears completely naked on stage.
In a sneak peek from the episode, as they show returns to telly, a Japanese comedian is seen performing a very risky act.
Known as Akira, the man performs with just a tray to cover his modesty, puling off various tricks.
He first tells Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli that he will show them the Blackpool Tower and quickly flips his tray to reveal an image of the landmark.
He then ties a toy car to a ball, which is covering his privates, and moves along with it – being careful not to reveal too much.
Ant – who is watching from the side lines – declares: “He was so close!”
Akira has been performing his naked tray act for the past ten years and previously hit back at criticism telling The Japan Times in 2019: “I’m aware there’s criticism and that’s fine. Some people see this naked guy on stage and feel it’s inappropriate, which I completely understand.
“Those who watch the whole act, however, realize there’s nothing dirty about it. It’s just a middle-aged guy with a tray, a bow tie and no other clothes.”
BGT show has run since 2007 and has produced winners including Susan Boyle, Paul Potts and Diversity.
The series champion receives £250,000 in prize money and the opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.
A format change this year will see the live semi-finals air weekly rather than nightly across one week as they had done previously.
This series will also see the judges joined by special guest judge KSI.
Tune in to the brand-new series of Britain’s Got Talent, tomorrow night at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

A PAIR of Airtricity League First Division matches have been postponed.
Following torrential rain on Thursday night and Friday morning, Wexford vs Longford Town and UCD vs Bray Wanderers have been called off.
In a statement on Friday afternoon, the League of Ireland confirmed that the former, scheduled for this evening, had been postponed.
It said: “Following a pitch inspection at Ferrycarrig Park amid heavy rainfall in the area, tonight’s SSE Airtricity Men’s First Division fixture between Wexford and Longford Town has been postponed.

“Ticket purchasers will be contacted via email”
And in a follow-up on Friday evening, it was confirmed that UCD vs Bray had also fallen by the wayside.
UCD were due to host Wanderers at the UCD Bowl, with the home side having lost their first game and the visitors having won theirs.
A pitch inspection took place on Friday afternoon at 2:15pm.
Following the inspection, the League of Ireland confirmed that a second inspection would take place at 5:15pm.
And confirming its postponement, the League of Ireland said: “Following a second pitch inspection, this evening’s SSE Airtricity Men’s First Division clash between UCD and Bray Wanderers has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
“We’ll issue a new date for the fixture in due course.”
As well as five games in the First Division, there will be four fixtures in the Premier Division.
Shamrock Rovers, as a result of their elimination from the Europa Conference League on Thursday night, will not be in action.

JAMES TRAFFORD has emerged as one of the best young goalkeepers in England.
However, his grandfather wanted him to take a different path.
The 22-year-old, who is one of the most talked-about players in the EFL right now, was raised on a North Cumbrian family-run farm in the Lake District.
Having also worked on the farm growing up, his duties included lambing and mucking out.
His grandfather, Bill, wanted him to stay in the farming business if he did not go on to become a professional sportsman.
But he was happy to make an exception if Trafford wanted to become a jockey.
Trafford told SunSport: “Grandpa Bill, god bless his soul. I have two cousins then my sister and I.
“Grandpa always said, ‘he has to be a farmer’ but he really wanted one of us to be a jockey — but we were all too tall!”
The Burnley star neglected the racing route and instead pursued a career in football.
He signed for Manchester City at the age of 12 in 2015 and went on to spend eight years with the club before joining Burnley, where he established himself as a regular first team starter.

Trafford has since made 60 appearances for the Clarets and is currently enjoying an incredible run of form.
The ex-City star has only let in NINE goals all season, keeping 23 clean sheets.
Trafford has not conceded a goal in 1000 minutes and is aiming to record his 12th successive shutout when Burnley face Sheffield Wednesday on Friday evening.
Despite his growing reputation as one of Europe’s finest talents, with a host of Premier League clubs hoping to snap him up, the youngster still loves getting his hands dirty on the farm.
He said: “I enjoy it. I do it to spend more time with dad because I always go out for lunch with my mum when I go home and he’s always working.
“When I was with dad last month, I was bedding up all the sheep and putting hay out for the ones outside.
“We’ve always done that. I remember as a kid on the tractor where he’d sit on the seat and I’d be on the arm-rest, and our dog would be down there.”
DWTS host Doireann Garrihy is gearing up for a huge return to a hit RTE chat show.
The popular presenter is set to join host Patrick Kielty on The Late Late Show tonight, ahead of her first show back on 2FM.
Doireann will make her return to the Late Late studios to give the low-down on her glamorous winter wedding.
The Dublin beauty tied the knot to her husband Mark Mehigan in a lavish ceremony at the K Club in Kildare – and it’s safe to say it was the event on everyone’s lips for weeks.
The 32-year-old will also speak about her highly-anticipated return to RTE 2FM following her shock exit from the station last year.
Doireann will now present her very own drive-time slot on the radio from 3-6pm, after hosting the breakfast show at 6-9pm for five years.
And the Irish host revealed the exciting news with fans on Instagram last night.
The TV star looked super cosy in her pyjamas all tucked up in bed as she exclaimed: “Guys, as you can see I’ve done my tan because tomorrow night I’m on the Late Late.”
Doireann made a hilarious face and pointed to herself in excitement.
The newlywed told followers that it had been “six years” since she was last on The Late Late Show.
The RTE star admitted that it was “one of the scariest things” she had ever done.
However, she joked: “But I’m back and I’m better than ever.”
Doireann also expressed her excitement over the incredible guests joining her in the Late Late studio, including Harry Potter star Fiona Shaw and fellow RTE host, Kathryn Thomas.
She said: “There are absolute icons on the show also. Oh god, it’s all so scary.
“If you are sitting in tomorrow night, please tune in.”
Doireann then humorously began to sing the Late Late Show theme tune and wave her hands in the air.
And fans looking to catch Doireann’s interview on The Late Late Show can find her on RTE One at 9.35pm tonight.
