What do you need?
- Acetone (or liquid for removing varnish with acetone in the composition)
- Cotton pad (or soft pile fabric)
- 5 minutes of time
How to clean the sole?

- Wash the rest with a dry cloth.
The yellowness will disappear after the first wiping.
Old spots may require 2-3 approaches.
The sole will become noticeably lighter without damage.
Acetone is a powerful solvent that corrodes the oxides (the main cause of yellowness) removes the stuck dirt, not scratching the surface, acts instantly – no need to wait, as with folk methods (soda, peroxide).
Important! Do not use acetone on color materials – paint may pass. Check on an inconspicuous area if the sole is with the texture. After processing, you can wipe the sole with a damp cloth.
If there is no acetone, try:
- Toothpaste + brush – suitable for fresh contaminants.
- Hydrogen peroxide + soda – helps, but works slower.
- Special foam for white soles.
