What should I do if my white leather shoes turn yellow?

White can be said to be everyone's favorite color, and everyone can have one or two white clothes or even shoes in their wardrobe. White sneakers are an unchanging trend among people, but everyone is very distressed when faced with this color. White can easily turn yellow or stain. What should we do when this happens? Now let us understand the causes and solutions of yellowing.

If your shoes have been worn and have turned yellow, then when you wash them while they are still wet, wrap a piece of tissue paper on the shoes. It is best to stick the tissue paper on the wet shoes. After they are dried, you will magically find that the paper stuck on the shoes is yellow, and the shoes become very white. I used this method often when I was a child~

If you use the above method and you still feel your shoes are not white enough, then try bleach. Wash the shoes first, then dilute the bleach and clean water according to the instructions, soak the shoes for about twenty minutes, take them out, rinse them with clean water, and cover them with paper towels when drying.

If you are unfortunate enough to have neither of the above two things, then well, you always brush your teeth, right? Use your whitening toothpaste to make your yellowed sneakers white again.

Baking soda can kill yellowed sneakers or clothes instantly. Just dissolve a spoonful of baking soda in a small basin of water, then soak the shoes to be washed for a while, then apply soap and wash. If the yellowing is very stubborn, soak the shoes in hot water mixed with baking soda to ensure that the shoes will become white again.

Finally, there is another great product for whitening fabrics, which is rice water that is available in every household. After washing your shoes, soak them in the rice water for a while and then dry them in the sun, and your shoes will become white again.

Also, I heard from old people that if you apply wood ash on shoes and then wash them, the shoes will become white again. I don’t think it’s reliable, so I haven’t tried it. Students who are interested can try it. I guess it’s the same principle as charcoal whitening.

When cleaning white shoes, it is best not to use soap to brush the shoes. White shoes can easily be yellowed by the sun. It is best to use the above method when drying shoes. For white clothes, you can often take them out to dry in the sun to keep the closet dry. If you like white clothes, then you must take good care of them.
