How to Make Your Yellowed Converse/Vans Canvas Turn White and New Again



As a huge fan of the canvas shoes, some of us are all the time in deeply love with the white Converse/Vans shoes, even deeper than the custom painted shoes. However, what troubles them most is the yellowing of their beloved babies and speed of becoming dirty with the time goes by. This is may not only for them, but also for all of us who have the white sneakers in the shoe box. Don’t worry, there’s always a method resolving it. Today, I’m gonna share the method with you.

First of all, fill a sink half-full with warm water. Add a few drops of dish detergent into the water and mix until the water is foamy. Use a gentle bleach-free detergent. Remove immediately and transfer to dryer to dry on low heat.

Then dip a kitchen sponge into the soapy water and wring it out. Wipe off stains and dirt from the Vans by brushing them with the soapy sponge. Repeat this process until all of the dirt and stains are removed. If the rubber still has yellow spots, rub a dime-sized amount of whitewall-tire cleaner and a cloth.

For the Vans, rinse the outside of the Vans under tap water to get rid of the soap residue. Place the Vans on an old towel, and dab them with the towel to help dry them out. Leave the Vans on the towel in a dry room for a few days until they are completely dry.

At last, Spray shoes with a water and stain repellant. Water and stain repellant makes future cleaning easier and should prevent yellow spots.

In this way, with using the methods mentioned above, your beloved Converse/Vans white canvas shoes will become white and new again.
