Tools: Soft-bristle brush, cold water, mild dish soap.

Steps:

   1. Rinse Immediately:

          ●Flush off mud, sand, or chemical residues with cold water.

          ●Clean tread grooves thoroughly (debris accelerates wear).

   2. Wash Gently:

          ●Use a soap-water mix (1:10 ratio). Scrub inside and outside surfaces.

   3. Neutralize Residues:

          ●Farm Chemicals: Spray with diluted white vinegar (1:3 vinegar-water), rinse after 5 minutes.

          ●Seawater/Salt: Apply baking soda paste, scrub after 10 minutes.

Avoid:

❌ Harsh cleaners (bleach, alcohol, solvents).

❌ Hot water (>40°C/104°F) – causes warping.

Short-Term (Daily):

          ●Dry boots upside down in a cool, shaded area.

          ●Remove trapped debris from soles.

Long-Term (Seasonal):

   ○Prevent Sticking:

          ●Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or silicone spray.

          ●Place wax paper between boots.

   ○Maintain Shape:

          ●Insert cardboard tubes or foam rolls into shafts.

   ○Environment:

          ●Store at 10–25°C (50–77°F), humidity <60%, away from heat/sunlight.

Farms (Chemicals/Manure):

          ●Rinse immediately after exposure to fertilizers/pesticides.

          ●Wear moisture-wicking socks to reduce sweat contact.

Beaches (Saltwater/Sand):

          ●Rinse salt residues thoroughly to prevent degradation.

          ●Avoid dragging boots on abrasive surfaces (e.g., rocks).

General Rules:

❌ Avoid contact with gasoline, oil, or herbicides.

❌ Never expose wet boots to extreme heat (>40°C) or cold (<-10°C).
