ok,if you have aluminum arrows use a "box cutter" to scrape off the old vanes,then use acetone to clean the shaft.
if you have carbon ,i use the tool bohning makes to srape the vanes off (i use wraps)than i use goo gone to clean the glue off ,then wash the shaft with soap and water,wipe it dry and i'm ready to go.
if you don't use wraps scrape the vanes off and use scotch brite to (LIGHTLY) clean off any remaining residue.

For carbon shafts I will take my pocket knife and scrape off any remaining glue on the shaft. You want to make sure you are not digging into the shaft itself. Once I have the glue scraped off I will scuff the area lightly with 320 grit sandpaper. Then wipe clean with damp cloth and let dry. Then I install the new vane.

If I am fletching brand new arrows I follow the same routine. Except after I scuff the area to be fletched I take the shaft and soak the end to be fletched in Bohning SSR cleaner and follow their instructions.
