should do the trick as well or even better since that damn magic eraser from mr.clean is for the ass…

[rocket]

you can also use a normal rubber…

[Seul]

Works wonders for me… You did use water as well, right?..

yes but this thing (one site of the two) is already fecked…after cleaning one pair of boots!

[Seul]

Yep - one sponge per shoe. Sounds about right.

[Finn666]

Why? Cheapskate?

[Seul]

Just get the cheap no brand alternative… Check your local Aldi and Lidl.

[Finn666]

or I'll just wear my boots like they did back then…fuck if the white soles is clean or not!

@injunjack:

Why? Cheapskate?

He wants to know why you are cheap (in a sarcastic way)? He is referring to the fact that that product is inexpensive.

[Finn666]

aaaaaaaaaaaah now I'm there,thanks L.
well why spend 3€ when you have sandpaper lying around like there is no morning!

[injunjack]

'cause when you use sandpaper you break the surface of the sole (rubber) and I believe then the dirt will stick to it more.  (I'm not sure this will happen, but it might)

and what's 3€ compared what you paid for them shoes…?

[Finn666]

yeah you're right right there mate…mum's paying so I shouldn't even bother
