Get a bucket and fill it with 25% Clorox and 75% water.

Dip the shoes in the bucket and scrub really well. Leave them in there overnight. Take them out the next morning and leave them in the sun all day the next day.

I put my white canvas vans in the washer all the time when they’re dirty and they don’t turn yellow. I spray them with shout or spray ‘n wash and they come out looking brand new!

I clean my vans in the washer now and I use arm & hammer soap. I used to brush it with warm water and soap before but the sole turned yellow. When I started washing it in the washer, the yellow part went away.

First wash your vans by washing machine, using toothbrush, soaking etc…

The trick to keep your vans white after washing, while still wet use cornstarch, the cornstarch will stick to the shoe make sure to get every spot, a put them it the sun to dry. After the shoe is dry scrape off dry cornstarch with a dry brush.

I just bought white Vans and unsurprisingly, they got dirty the next day. I bought cleaner for them at the Vans store. I used the cleaner as it instructed and as it was drying, a yellow ring formed around where I sprayed the product. It didn’t even take out the stain. I then took a clean wash cloth and put a little water on it and scrubbed on the yellow parts and the stain. The next morning, I looked at them and the yellow was gone and the stain was barely visible. They aren’t as white as before, but they are pretty close.
