So I white Alpinestars tech 7s and there pretty dirty. I've cleaned them with some soap and power washer but that doesn't do the job. Any products or ideas? Let me know!
1. Rinse the boots with a pressure washer.
2. Spray on Simple Green and then use a brush.
3. Let them sit for about a minute
4. Rinse the boots again with the pressure washer
This has worked best for me.

*hey, buddy!
swing buy one of those quarter eating car wash places.
hang the boots up on the floor mat clips, yes the are strong enough to hold.
use the tire cleaner or engine degreaser option. spray the boots down until they look radioactive.
flip them around and repeat.
then switch to high pressure rinse and watch them shine.
It's also easier to keep them clean if you always keep them clean...
I have also used the white wall tire bleach… on tires it's insane… I may give it a whirl on boots.
I've also found that Magic Erasers work extremely well too.

Just an observation though, as a kitchen manager, I have worked in kitchens for over 15 years. The one thing you always noticed was that the floor degreaser's that we used to clean the floors, would break down your shoes over time fairly rapidly.. Even quality kitchen klogs/shoes. I noticed this w/ my Alpinestars after a year of cleaning them with this. The plastic sides started to become brittle & crack until It had a big hole. I'm sure they should have lasted alot longer. I'm not sure if that was the cause, but just from experience, I know harsh degreaser's break down shoes. I haven't used any on my new boots yet & I'll probably try the magic eraser or something like simple green. Anything thats not so harsh.
