Leave the paste on for about 30 minutes. Then wipe off the paste and remove the residue with a damp cloth. Then dry the sneakers in the fresh air.

Bleaching with vinegar

Mix vinegar and water in equal parts to make a bleaching solution. Using a soft cloth, apply the mixture to the sneakers, focusing on yellowed or discolored areas.
