Collonil Carbon MaxX Midsole Cleaner – Restores White Soles – 100ml

Description

Collonil Carbon MaxX Midsole Cleaner 100ml — bring tired soles back to white

A great pair of trainers lives or dies by the state of the soles. You can have a spotless upper, but grubby, yellowing midsoles give the game away every time. The Collonil Carbon MaxX Midsole Cleaner is made for exactly this job. It is designed specifically for the sole edges and midsoles, lifting stubborn dirt, scuffs and discolouration from rubber and synthetic soles so your trainers look fresh from the box again.

It uses the same clever micelle technology as the rest of the Carbon MaxX range. The micelles surround dirt and grease and lift it clean off the surface — you can almost watch the grime jump off the sole. It penetrates deep into the pores of the rubber where everyday cleaning cannot reach, yet it does all this without damaging or drying out the material.

Why choose the Collonil Carbon MaxX Midsole Cleaner?

• Made for soles: formulated specifically for midsoles and sole edges, where dirt and yellowing show most.
• Micelle deep-clean: lifts ingrained grime from the pores of the rubber rather than just the surface.
• Tackles discolouration: helps restore the original bright, clean look of white and pale soles.
• Safe on the material: cleans powerfully without harming or drying out rubber and synthetic soles.
• Precise and easy: apply directly and work in with a brush for controlled, targeted cleaning.

How to use the Collonil Carbon MaxX Midsole Cleaner

1. Wipe or brush loose dirt off the soles first.
2. Apply the cleaner directly to the midsole and sole edge.
3. Work it in with a cleaning brush using small circular motions until it foams and lifts the dirt.
4. Wipe away the residue with a clean, damp cloth.
5. Repeat on stubborn marks and yellowed areas, then let the soles dry naturally.

I personally do the soles last, after the uppers, so any dirt that transfers gets cleaned off at the end — it is a small habit that makes the whole job quicker.

Haico’s tip

A stiff-bristled brush is your best friend on soles. Unlike delicate uppers, midsoles can take a firmer scrub, so a slightly stiffer brush helps the cleaner get into the textured rubber and lift out grime that has settled in the grooves. For heavily yellowed soles, be patient and repeat the process a couple of times rather than expecting miracles in one pass.

Frequently asked questions

Will it remove yellowing from white soles? It lifts dirt and surface discolouration very effectively, restoring a much brighter, cleaner look. Deep oxidation that has built up over years may need a couple of passes for the best result.

Can I use it on the upper too? This one is optimised for rubber and synthetic soles. For the upper, the Carbon MaxX Upper Cleaner is the right partner product, designed for leather, suede, mesh and textile.

Is it safe on all trainers? It is designed for rubber and synthetic midsoles, which covers the vast majority of trainers. As always, a quick test on a small area gives peace of mind.

How often should I clean my soles? A quick clean whenever you refresh the uppers keeps soles from yellowing in the first place. Dealing with marks early is always easier than tackling months of built-up grime.
