Member Posts: 44	I'm ordering new boots and I know white looks nice on my gelding..But I dread spending the $160 on a new set, when the white doesn't stay white at all. I usually just let them soak in water and use mild dish soap. Any other ideas?? Anybody use a washing machine on gentle cycle maybe?

Expert Posts: 1477 Location: In the land of peanuts and cotton	CYA Ranch - 2014-12-11 7:33 PM When mine are new I spray with Scotchguard. When I wash them they go in the washing machine. I'm going to try this! I spay mine off to get loose dirt off then soak them in the horse whitening shampoo then put them in the washing machine and was them with Tide and a scoop of Oxyclean. Sometime I have to go back and wash them agin in plain water to make sure all the soap is out. Edited by TessBelle 2014-12-11 7:51 PM

No Tune in a Bucket Posts: 2935 Location: Texas	You might try getting a bar of Fels Naptha soap and kind of rubbing the boots with the bar. It is an old school cleaning product and I use it on all types of stains.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 356	Scotchguard them right away! I soak mine in the sink with Oxiclean, then throw them in the washing machine with a little bit more Oxiclean and do the extra rinse to make sure all the soap is out. And air dry.

Dr. Ruth Posts: 9891 Location: Blissfully happy Giants fan!!!	What a love hate relationship. I have a full pair of white boots and I am gearing up to buy the sparkle white boots from Professional Choice soon. I LOVE how they look but I HATE cleaning them. Oh yeah, and I also put my horses in white bell boots too. I hate putting my boots (any of them) in the washing machine so I don't. For my white boots I wash any excess dirt I can, then take a whitener shampoo on them and scrub, then oxyboost stain remover, then some sort of whitener from wal mart. Both of the last two I do not wash off but rather dunk the boots in warm water, add more whitener, and leave over night. Then hand wash and air dry. I am sure it is overkill but I have kept them white and even got some stains out that were there when I bought them!!!

Elite Veteran Posts: 1115	I've always avoided white boots since red dirt in Oklahoma makes them turn a dingy orange. Glad to know I can clean them. Thanks for all the tips!
