How to Clean White Shoes When They Turn Yellow ~ Women Shoes Advisory

White shoes, especially sneakers, have a tendency to yellow over time. There are many myths as to why they yellow, but the basic theory is that direct sunlight breaks down the chemicals that are used to create a bright white sneaker. There are a few ways to remove the yellowing, but the most you can really do is camouflage the color change. Luckily it can be done cheaply and easily at home.

Instructions

Take your yellowed sneakers and remove the laces. You can either set them aside or throw them away in favor of new laces, that is your decision completely. Stuff the shoes with newspaper to hold their shape. It makes it easier to work with them as well.

Start with one shoe at a time. Take the magic eraser and dip it in water. It should be damp, but not soaking wet. Rub the areas where yellowing has occured with the magic eraser. It will lift some of the stains, but not all of them. You will be left with a slightly less noticeable yellow stain.

Wipe the sneakers dry. Run your hand over the area to make sure it is absolutely dry.

Take the white shoe polish and cover the sneaker in smooth even strokes. For large areas, use the applicator that comes with the shoe polish. Be careful around small edges. You may use a Q-tip or a make-up sponge to get into small areas and crevices.

When you are satisfied, leave the sneakers in a warm, dry place. Allow to completely dry and set. Do not place them in direct sunlight. Remove the newspaper when the sneakers are completely dry.
