Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 i think someone used those Mr Clean magic erase pads before. Sometimes I just clean ours using an old tooth brush with a mild soap. why would they be molding? I've noticed the rubber does turn an icky color after a lot of wear, not sure why but it's never washed off any of ours. they look gross even when I know they are clean, luckily the foot covers that area so people don't see it. s. cleaning braces Does anyone have a suggestion on cleaning the yellow rubber of the shoes/brace? I don't want to try anything without asking first, I am afraid of ruining the rubber. It appears mold is starting to grow (yuck!).

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 I don't really know if it is mold: it is a rust color, near the bends of the rubber. I assumed it was sweat accumulating, which could lead to mildew.... i could be way off base. So, when you cleaned the rubber, the rust color never came off? i will try the toothbrush and dish soap or vinegar solution. is almost ready for another pair.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 Correct. Even after scrubbing the stains remained on the shoes. Doesn't hurt to give them a bit of a cleaning periodically but don't expect the shoe to look new afterwards. s. cleaning braces > > > Does anyone have a suggestion on cleaning the yellow rubber of the > shoes/brace?
