Reasons for the yellowing of white shoe soles

Shoe edge yellowing method one

1. First prepare a basin of cold water, soap, and a shoe brush. Use the shoe brush to dip in soap and carefully remove the dirt on the shoe body and the white edge. 2. Find a suitable size of a rough stone, wet it, and rub it back and forth on the white edge of the boots, paying attention to apply even pressure. 3. Wipe the white edge clean with a towel. Pay attention not to touch the surface of the boot during friction, otherwise it will affect the appearance of the boot. 4. Wrap the entire boot with milky white tissue paper and place it in a cool and ventilated area for natural drying. It’s done. When you untie the tissue paper, you will find that the white edge looks like a new boot you just bought.

1. Clean the boots thoroughly, preferably soaking them in diluted bleach solution for about ten minutes. 2. Pour white rice vinegar into a small cup (84 vinegar works better, but I dislike the smell), fold the toilet paper in half and then fold it again (it’s four layers, which absorbs more moisture and is less likely to tear). 3. Hold the two sides of the toilet paper with both hands and dip them into the cup of vinegar-filled water, then twist them slightly after taking them out. 4. Stick the vinegar-soaked toilet paper along the shoe edge, three pieces of toilet paper are enough for women’s shoes, and then cover the slope with a dry piece of toilet paper. 5. Place it on the balcony, and there’s no problem with sun exposure (because of the protection of the toilet paper). 6. When the boots are not worn for a long time, wash and dry them thoroughly and fold them up to prevent the shoe edge from turning yellow.
