Cleaning white rubber stirrup treads?

[Natch]

... as title says really, anyone got any advice on how to get white rubber treads white again? they're nto bad but a bit yellowey (once all the mud is scrubbed off - I think!!)

Any hope? Just buy new ones? If so I probably can, so can anyone tell me if treds come in different sizes? Bit clueless as its been so long since I last bought stirrups!

Toothbrush and if it really bad so white shoe polish

 

[sfward]

Buy some black ones!

I take mine off the stirrup irons and bleach them, then put some white shoe cream on them...the type you put on pimsoles!

Put them in your dishwasher - Stirrups too

I'd give them a good scrub and then but them in some hot water with a bit of bleach. Then I'd go out and get some black treads

Dishwasher on hot wash!

A stiff brush and cream cleaner always does the job!!

Blimey you lot were quick! Y'see its for dressage so I'd prefer white if poss, got black on GP saddle.

Tried dishwasher, it did naff all- Gutted, becuase somebody swore by it before!

Will try toothbrush and plimsol stuff /cream cleaner, and if all else fails then bleach! worried the bleach would ruin the rubber though?

Have to PMSL, I can't ride or school this week, I've entered probably the hardest prelim test and even though F and I have done it before I'm worrying about it because I want a better score than before, caller is stressing because its hard to read and last time we did it I shouted "WOT?!" at the top of my voice when I realised I hadn't heard her and then giggled rest of the way around (hmm does that account for the poor score last time I wonder?!)

so I'm trying to memorise it so she's only a backup, horse has to stay in night before and he hasn't stayed in for ages so might be in v bad mood, and general faffing.... but hey, at least my stirrup treds will be clean!!!!!

steradent works for tea stained cups. Might be worth a try?

ah, I have another solution. Use washing power/liquid & scrub. Will come up whiter than they started! Swore by it in my best turned out pony days...

It's much easier to buy new ones when they've gone a bit yellow
