It's a lot easier to just keep your boots from smelling in the first place
(and thereby keep them from smelling up your vehicle, too). Just wear SOCKS
inside your boots & you'll find that the socks wind up smelling awful, NOT
the boots. The socks just wash easily in the machine along with other
laundry - but as soon as possible. If you're traveling & don't want to do
laundry till you get home, at least rinse them out in the sink along with
any kind of regular soap.

To get rid of the boot order, my son tells me there is a shampoo for

recommended approach to using one of these 'sols'?


Plain old household bleach. Works wonders! Just wash your neo. bootoes as
you
normally would, and after rinsing put a dollop (couple of teaspoons) of
bleach in
each bootie, add a little water and shake it all around (holding the top
closed of
course!) to get the bleach well into all the crevices inside. Let it sit
for about
5 mins or so, then rinse, rinse, rinse....until you can't smell much
bleach in the
bootie anymore. (It's hard to get *all* the chlorine out, I've found.)
Then let
dry, thoroughly.

Stank-B-GONE! :-)
