Rubbing alcohol mixed with water and spray it on. That is what we use to get mold off of tobacco that we harvested and had to hold over till the next year.

if their completely white, soak them in a bucket of water with a little bleach - that should do the trick. Otherwise, throw them in the washing machine (with a couple of towels or bedsheets so they don't damage the machine when their banging around) on a medium temperature and with a good detergent; remember to take out the insoles before you do!

use a hot towel and moisten the area, and push against them, using the towel to clean it up. you must push hard enough until they are out, or else it's no use. if you need more help, use tweezers

Try a mixture of baking soda and warm white vinegar poured on the floor very carefully one at a time, while it's fizzing, scrub like crazy with a coarse brush.

You can just use windex or even water and tissue or a damp cloth.\n\nIts okay, you wont damage it.

Small area:  Use paint remover (paint stripper for furniture).\nPaint remover (the original kind) uses methylene chloride to soften the paint so it can be removed easily.  Problem:  methylene chloride evaporates very quickly.  Possible solution:  after applying the stripper, put a plastic polyethlyene sheet over the paint to keep the methylene chloride from evaporating so quick (work on cool days/evenings too).  Methylene chloride works on epoxy based paints which are normally chemically resistant.  Methylene chloride is becoming harder to get because of VOC requirements and CFC considerations.\n\nLarge area:  use sodium hydroxide (lye) or Drano crystals or similar caustic.  **Concentrated** (saturated solution) lye will soften the paint so it can be brushed away.  Its less expensive than paint stripper.\n\nPLEASE READ CAREFULLY:  \n\nYou are going to have a disposal problem - don't wash it down the drain or you may be fined.  The EPA monitors the drains for polluters.  \n\nThese are very hazardous chemicals that require respirators, adequate air, protective chemical equipment (rubber gloves, face shields), the area needs to be isolated so a pet or kids don't come in contact with the chemicals.  If you won't take these precautions or don't know what you're doing, call a professional.  Truly.\n\nFor the methylene chloride residue: pickup the old paint residue and let it dry out.  Then you can dispose of the residue in plastic bags in the garbage (dry paint is considered non-hazardous in most areas, but not all - contact your waste management service).\n\nThe lye will soften the paint and can be dried out, but even the dried crystals can be hazardous if water is re-introduced - you may be able to neutralize the waste with a weak acid like vinegar to neutral pH, and then dry it out and dispose of it.  You'll need some pH strips to test for neutral pH.  Dried, neutral pH paint can be disposed the same way as regular dried paint - the exact method depends on where you live and your waste disposal service.  Most areas have free disposal days for hazardous waste if you are otherwise required to pay.\n\nBE CAREFUL with powerful chemicals and USE PRECAUTIONS so you don't hurt yourself, or others.\n\nAnother method: Sandblast.  Look up a sandblast service in the Yellow pages and they'll come out with their portable blasting unit.  Paint removal is their job.  I can't advise further because I don't know the constraints, paint type, substrate, enclosed area, etc.  \n\nMost paints are acid-resistant to some degree, so muratic isn't effective; most paints ARE vulnerable to alkaline solutions (but not all).  Concrete is an alkaline material, so won't be attacked to the same degree as with nuratic acid.  Muratic acid will attack and eat up the concrete (maybe that's what you want, but probably not).

you can use white vinegar or wet baking soda.\n\njust put enough vinegar or wet baking soda on the soiled area and let stand for a couple of seconds. it works for me.

Get a new keyboard.  Not that dear & not covered in kitty poo / sick.  I can't imagine how you'd clean that.\nJust realised you meant water.  Leave it to dry somewhere warm, but no direct heat.  Leave it for a couple of days perhaps.  As long as it's just water & not waste should be ok.

Windex works great \n\nJust remember to use a new papertowel on each one as not to scratch them.\nI use the Bounty ones that are divided into 1/2 sheets.

Vinegar or clorox 2 should do the trick!  I actually use tomatoe leaves off a tomato plant, but the vinegar will work.  Best wishes

Exfoliate with a sugar or sea salt scrub daily on the affected areas. This should help.

Spray them down with a hose. We have several of them here at work. Use Outdoor Clorox and spray them down in and out every day.

I've heard that liquid fabric softener works! It also works for stained coffee pots!
