I looked into them ages ago but they’d fallen off my radar so thank you, worth a punt!What about using something like a boot buddy? Hopefully this link will work
Boot Buddy 3.0 Original
Boot Buddy 3.0 is the indispensable tool for anyone who loves to stay active outdoors. This all-in-one kit includes a replaceable head, and a complimentary microfiber towel and tote bag to bring even the muddiest of trainers and boots back to life.
I bought one for my son for Christmas to use on his football boots, he's given it a thumbs up (and it has saved him getting mud all over my sink!)
Have you got a watering can and a brush? you could try that.Not exactly home-related but hoped someone would have some tips on here. How do you clean boots that are covered in grass cuttings? I don’t have an outside tap and have three pairs of walking boots/wellies that need cleaning. They also have mud in the grooves. If I wash them in the bath then I have to put drain cleaner down and I’m fed up of them in the hallway. They get like this after one walk
I’ve ordered one of these and will see about getting a tap fitted, failing that a watering can is a good shout! I think I’d take forever with a buddy.
I use an old fashioned scrubbing brush and a washing up bowl or bucket filled with hot soapy water then leave them to dry in the sunshine.Not exactly home-related but hoped someone would have some tips on here.

Butter gets tar out. Massage it in with your fingers and gently pull the fibres upwards and it'll slide out in a few minutes. Washing up liquid and warm water then to get the butter grease out.
My dishwasher is driving me insane - I keep on top of all the things you’re meant to like salt, rinse aid, regular cleaning cycles, but no matter what I can always see seeds/grains/pulses in the holes in the arms that project out water and I’m certain it’s why some stuff comes out grubby and needs to go back in because of this (pls correct me if I’m wrong). It takes ages picking them out with a toothpick so I’ve gone fully unhinged and just used a jet washer on them & I’m waiting to see the results. Obviously this can’t be normal dishwashing I’m doing lol so coming to ask wtf is everyone doing to make theirs work better pls? I’m also thinking it’s just not a great dishwasher? Is there a brand/model anyone would recommend please? I got a Samsung one because I LOVE our washing machine but someone told me the washers are great but the dishwashers are just white label generic stuff so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just naff?
Thank you for reading this essay - this dishwasher pisses me off at least 2/3 times a week I need to crack this case
omg this is a genius point thank you - you’re very likely right! We’re semi rural, not even on a mains water waste supply so I’m guessing the mains water provision is probably at the lower end of what’s good in this country. Thinking back our showers weren’t the best when we moved in but we got new heads and they’re passable, again we assumed that was the shower head not the water pressure?
thank you so much though, I was looking at buying a new one even though the waste of scrapping a 2 year old dishwasher makes me die inside, but now I’ll ask a plumber about this!!Pepper seeds are the worst for this! I had this all the time with my old dishwasher, it never seemed to rinse properly and the holes always needed clearing. It doesn't seem to happen in the one I have now though, I'm wondering if the holes are slightly bigger, so they don't get jammed?My dishwasher is driving me insane - I keep on top of all the things you’re meant to like salt, rinse aid, regular cleaning cycles, but no matter what I can always see seeds/grains/pulses in the holes in the arms that project out water and I’m certain it’s why some stuff comes out grubby and needs to go back in because of this (pls correct me if I’m wrong).

Yep!!!! And oats! I’m a woman on the edge because of this
Is it just a stain you want off? This is the best stain remover I’ve ever used. I have very light coloured velvet sofas and spilt an entire curry on it and it came off no bother.Any recommendations on how to clean velvet type material dining chairs? I've tried Vanish but it's not helped much
I've never had this dishwasher problem but wanted to point out that my mantra is "scrape, don't rinse" and I think maybe that makes the difference? I'm in the habit of giving the dishes a quick once over with a silicon spatula before they go in the dishwasher, if and only if there's something seedy on them (melon seeds, cumin seeds etc in this house). So stuff like this and pepper seeds never make it inside the machine.My dishwasher is driving me insane - I keep on top of all the things you’re meant to like salt, rinse aid, regular cleaning cycles, but no matter what I can always see seeds/grains/pulses in the holes in the arms that project out water and I’m certain it’s why some stuff comes out grubby and needs to go back in because of this (pls correct me if I’m wrong).

Funnily re rinsing/scraping I’d read that it’s worse for us as humans to do so as dishwashers and their tablets have been designed to remove residue from plates for us, so if you rinse you end up with deposits left on the cutlery / cups you’re putting in your mouth which obviously isn’t great for us to ingest. I’ve found myself doing it anyway just because my machine/water pressure evidently isn’t great at removing everything.
Yes I have read the same.Funnily re rinsing/scraping I’d read that it’s worse for us as humans to do so as dishwashers and their tablets have been designed to remove residue from plates for us, so if you rinse you end up with deposits left on the cutlery / cups you’re putting in your mouth which obviously isn’t great for us to ingest.
