Like a few others on here - I would just chuck 'em in the laundry. They are cotton/canvas, and well (in my opinion) kinda looked cooler all beat up and faded. They are rather cheap so if you want to retain the check pattern - buy another pair, or use a reputable carpet/upholstery cleaner like Resolve and let r' potato chip. Unfortunately the yellow will probably not come out unless you put the kicks in the washing machine with some good ol' fashion bleach (be sparing). In the future, stay out of the lawns with all the dog bombs and use the Carpet and Upholstery cleaner from the get go.

Since youve turned them yellow, the only thing I can think of to tell you...is try putting them in the washing machine (Vans are made of cotton canvas after all) And use a color safe bleach since they have a design....and DONT put them in the dryer...Just sit them somewhere (out of direct sunlight to avoid fading) Hope this helps.

I continuously attempt to get my shoes as clean as conceivable with a tooth brush, warm water and a few cleansing soap. make helpful that the comb has medium gentle hairs or you will scratch the cloth. additionally, do the interest heavily so which you will not unfold dirt out over clean areas of your kicks. do not use too plenty water - dry as quickly as conceivable with a towel. you will possibly desire to in basic terms placed your shoes interior the device in case you surely does not placed on them as they are! they'll swell and grow to be much less soft, however the dirt will come off. After the cleansing proces, do not forget approximately to prepare transparant protector. And uh, purchase a clean tooth brush! ;-)

Scrub them with a toothbrush and white toothpaste. It really actually works!!! Better yet, use a whitening toothpaste!

Dip it in a bucket of bleach and ammonia.
Oh God, I hope no one is actually dumb enough to try this.
