But you know what?

It really makes a difference in my life.Once most of the gooey mud has been removed, if you had any, it’s time to clean the tops of the boots, mostly just to make them look appropriate for wearing in public places again.. First of all, it’s supposed to be bad luck to put your shoes on a table or a counter, so if you’re superstitious, don’t do that.

I’m not, obviously.I like to use one of my “rag towels” for something like this to keep from getting my countertops dirty and to make cleanup afterwards super quick.So place your boots on a an old tea towel, then begin wiping them down with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water..

This will remove most of the mud and gunk from the surface of your boots.This is also a great time to use a soft brush like an old toothbrush on some of the ridges where mud may collect because it will all be nicely loosened up at this point from the warm water.

The brush step is really only necessary if you’re going for a really perfectly clean look.

Since I know that my boots are just going to get dirty again the next day, I don’t worry about it too much most of the time.I took some wide strips of some scrap drop cloth that I had laying around and glued those to the bottom of the bed to act as the secret “base” to the bed skirt.. At this point, I realized that I probably could have just stuck some wide strips of a nice patterned fabric on there and that would have been good enough for a bed skirt, but it was too late!

I was in too deep!.I also realized that I didn’t have the heart to disturb the kitty’s nap to make the bed for this picture, so I didn’t.

I had originally wanted to make this a ruffly bed skirt.I took one of the strips of fabric and hand-sewed some big, one inch stitches in it, then I pulled the thread tight to make it ruffle up..
