Location: Northern Ontario | Ok, so I have already done a search for this, but it is just for new boots. I scotch guard my new ones too, but I had a really good deal on some used white glitter ones so I bought them. They are in really good condition, just a bit grey and dingey. I soaked them in a bit of oxiclean spray, scrubbed with a tooth brush, let them soak 30 mins in water with a bit of bleach and then scrubbed them again with blue horse shampoo. They are better but still not a flashy white(maybe they will never be again and thats ok).
Is there any other tricks you guys have before I scotch guard them? | |

Location: Alberta, Canada | I've never scotch guarded... Just wash in oxyclean every couple of runs and they come out good as new... and I've never noticed my boots wearing faster from the extra washes :) I would say youre on the right track with oxyclean followed by scotch guard :) | |

| I've got those exact ones. Nothing looks flashier than white glitter boots! Unfortunately it monsoon rained like every time we had to make a run so they were MUDDY many times this year. I hosed them off to get the chunks off, washed them in the regular washer, let them air dry and was totally bummed how dingy they were. SO.
I got my liquid laundry soap (it is blue in color) and a scrubber of some kind, and went to town by hand with just some water and pure laundry soap poured directly on the boots. I was shocked how white they got. Used the hose to rinse them really good and let them air dry.
