How to get rid of mould on tendon boots?

[Love]

So this is my problemo - due to me being a numpty and forgetting to dry them out before putting them away



Is there any way i can save them? I think i've heard vinegar works before but cant remember if thats true or wether i have just dreamt that up...

Is the outer leather?! If not then I would give a good scrub with virkon and stick them through the washing machine

no its a synthetic outer (made to look like leather) and neoprene inner. They are these ones:

Have heard that t tree is good for getting rid of mould in the home, but never tried it myself, so not sure if it would work on the boots. You could test patch a bit on the inside to find out. If it works let me know.

Ooh we have some tea tree oil! will give that a go! If not ill get hold of some virkon (bet the smell takes me back to work experience at the vets! can remember loving it!)

I'd just sling them in the washing machine

Stiff wire brush to brush it off then hand wash in mild detergent and leave to dry over the radiator/washing line. Works a treat!

Right, they're in the washing machine! Lets see how this goes!

Use milton solution to kill the spores, then either hand wash or pop in the washing machine.
