If bleach works with clothes, returning it to the original whiteness, why not try it on the rubber? Before using this method, put a drop of funds on a low-profile area and wait at least an hour. Many bleaches leave on the sole of cracks or pores, because of which it becomes very fragile and quickly worn out. But if there were no such problems on the test site, the bleach is diluted with water according to the instructions. For faster achievement of the goal, it is better to use a dose of 2 times more. Shoes in this solution should be for several hours, you can take out every hour and see if there is enough white sole.

Use rubber gloves to keep the product from splashing the skin on your hands.
The acid or acetone acts in much the same way as the previous method: first try the product on a small area, and if there is no visible damage, proceed with a thorough cleaning. Apply liquid to a damp cloth and wipe the soleplate. In cases of using citric acid, it is better to use a toothbrush and do not dilute the powder with water, only at the end to wash off the residues.

Is it always possible to wash the sneakers?
Most often even the dirtiest sneakers are just a good clean, so that they look like new ones. This can work with old shoes, where the rubber has become a lemon shade. But, unfortunately, yellow color can not always be cleaned even in dry cleaners.
Usually a dirty yellow shade is obtained due to dust and stale dirt. This is easy to fix. But, for example, if you constantly dry the sneakers near the battery, the sole will also turn yellow, but it will not bleach any more. The same effect will be if the sneakers stand for a few days in the bright sun. In order to avoid this, be careful with shoes and wash it more often.
