Lady refreshes dirty Birkenstocks in viral TikTok video 

Lufuno knew that she could not place her slides in a washing machine or soak them in a bucket of bleach to get the built-up dirt off and immediately thought of a plan. She purchased a roll of sandpaper and hoped it would do the trick.

The shoes each got a turn for some TLC and experienced the abrasiveness of the sandpaper scraping off the greasy surface. After a couple of swipes, the shoes looked as good as new with its label showing.
