She has other shoes and the shit is embedded in the treads. Plus they will be too small soon and i was going to buy her new ones next month. I just really don't want to spend my evening scrubbing orange runny dogshit off them and then bleaching the sink.

Goose poo in DS's trainers. Caked in.

Ew riven, at least i could take her shoes off to stop them treading it into the carpet. They are still in the car tbh in a nappy bag.

I knew you guys would understand, dh is such a tightwad he'd freak, but then clean them in the kitchen and i'd have to clean it afterwards in case he 'splashed' it.

Bleugh. Again.

i would clean them

southeastastra · 31/07/2010 20:37

clean them, use water outside

or let them dry and bash out the pooh

bentneckwine1 · 31/07/2010 20:38

What kind of shoes are they? Could they go in the washing machine after you have removed the worst of it with a kitchen towel? I have done that with a pair of trainers my DS was sick in!

undercovamutha · 31/07/2010 20:41

I must admit I have a policy of never washing pooey pants during potty training - they go straight in the bin - life is too short.

But shoes? I think I'd have a go at cleaning them using the outside tap, some antibacterial spray, and an old toothbrush. Can they go in the washing machine?

pjmama · 31/07/2010 20:45

If you're going to chuck them anyway, I'd put them in the washing machine first. You never know they might come out all perfectly clean and dogshit free!

blametheparents · 31/07/2010 20:46

Sorry, but I would clean them.
Revolting job, but got to be done.
Outside tap

deemented · 31/07/2010 20:47

Oh you wimp you!!!

Get yer marigolds on and get scrubbing!!

Or do what i do and get yer manshape to do it for you

Bingtata · 31/07/2010 20:49

I would chuck them. I have done too. Yuck.

undercovamutha · 31/07/2010 20:57

Just remembered that when I was young, childless and had a lot more cash, I once got a new oven cos the other one was too dirty . SO I really have no room to judge you OP!!!

Havent got an outside tap. Or an old toothbrush. And they were 4 quid 4 months ago! A pound a month isnt bad.

Please dont make me clean them!

My DD managed to get dog poo on the inside of her wellies-god knows how.I threw them out.
Go on ,do it ,bin em

PrivetDancer · 31/07/2010 21:29

Definitely chuck them. And ugh at the idea of putting the dog poo in the washing machine!

MmeRedWhiteandBlueberry · 31/07/2010 21:32

Put on some gloves and wash them. The age of the shoes shouldn't really be a consideration.

laydeestardust · 31/07/2010 21:33

Yuk -but yes of course YABU!

I sympathise though,its a very regular occurance where i live sadly.

clean them then donate them to Oxfam if you don't want them anymore.

MrsRhettButler · 31/07/2010 21:34

to all those saying put them in the washing machine.... eeeww don't you worry about the poo sticking around till the next wash?

i would and have chucked them

MamaVoo · 31/07/2010 21:35

Do it. I've thrown a pair of my own shoes away for the same reason (admittedly they were old).

MrsRhettButler · 31/07/2010 21:36

actually though, i do think that age of shoes and price do make a difference... £4 from asda and they would be gone even if they were brand new on that day... but £32 from anywhere and i would prob wash them outside in a bucket but not if they were nearly too small

MrsRhettButler · 31/07/2010 21:37

chuck 'em!!
