    Cleaning rubber on shoes?

    So, I left a pair of white shoes in the trunk of my car for a few months and never really wore it. Just when I finally have a chance to wear tennis shoes to work, I pulled it out and the rubber is awfully mighty yellow. Just wondering if you guys have any tips on getting it back white? Wondering if any car car products can possibly work its magic?

    I used Yelp to find a local shoe repair guy. My shoes are worth $120. Never cleaned or nothing. Took them to him and everybody kept complimenting on on my new shoes after, they were 8 years old.

    So IMO help out a local business guy. Maybe not for tennis shoes though.

    He said he charges $10 for clean and polish. Charged me $30 cos he added new soles to my shoes, fixed the messed up front leather and fixed the inside as well with a clean, polish and shine.

    If you do use bleach dont get them on the material cos it'll discolor them

    I've used Amazing Roll Off to clean my shoes before and it did a great job, also Blech-White seems to work well.
