Sole Bright
Takes the yellowing out of rubber midsoles and clear or icy soles. Keep it off leather, suede and fabric.
How to un-yellow soles with Sole Bright
Heavily yellowed and older soles take several sessions.
-
Level it
Set the shoe as level as you can so the liquid doesn’t run.
-
Apply
Apply a light to medium coat to the yellowed rubber, lighter near the edges.
-
Wrap
Cover the sole in clear plastic wrap so the product doesn’t evaporate.
-
Sun
Leave it in the sun about 1 hour for midsoles, or 4 to 6 hours for clear and icy soles.
-
Repeat
Repeat as needed. In very hot weather, stuff the shoe with a bag of ice to help prevent sole separation.

Cleaning and care questions
Can Easy Cleaner clean suede?
Yes. Brush it in lightly so you keep the nap intact.
What’s the best way to clean white sneakers?
Scrub with Angelus Easy Cleaner and a brush, wipe with a microfiber towel and let them dry. For yellowed rubber soles, use Sole Bright.
Can I use All Purpose Foam Cleaner on suede?
No. Foam cleaner can lift color from suede. Use Easy Cleaner or Foam-Tex with a soft brush and light pressure instead.
When should I use Water & Stain Repellent?
After cleaning, on clean, dry shoes. Let it cure at least 24 hours and reapply every 1 to 2 weeks, more often in wet weather.
Does neatsfoot oil darken leather?
Yes, it tends to. Test it on a small hidden spot first.
Should I condition leather before polishing?
Yes. Condition first so the leather is soft, then shine it with Angelus shoe polish.
