Maybe I'm not being specific enough.
You know when there's really old dirt and discolouring on the sole.
I'd gone over these with soap and a toothbrush and though they were definitely cleaner, they were still dirty.
I'll put up some pictures in half hour or so.

Right, this is how they started.
I bought them about 5 years ago, secondhand and they were this dirty when they turned up.
I wasn't overly taken with them as, as we have seen, the true colours don't show up in photos and I thought they were bluer than they actually are.
Dug 'em out of my old flat and decided to clean them.

As they were with 6 year old dirt ground in.



After scrubbing the left hand side with a toothbrush and some hand cleanser for 5 minutes.



Then further cleaning the far left with the butt of the toothbrush and just a little soapy water for about 30 seconds.



Then cleaning the original dirty patch for about 1 minute with the butt of the toothbrush only and some soapy water, leaving the 5 minute scrub in the middle for comparison.



Definitely seems to get them cleaner for less effort, no chemicals and gets the edges clean without over soaking the uppers or endless scrubbing for the edge near the sole.
Still well happy with the discovery.
Do watcha like !
