Questions & Answers
6" x 9" is the size of the boot scrubber. Mine is mounted in the center of a 24" long 2 x 10 pressure-treated board. Then you can clean your left shoe while standing on the board, then clean your right boot while standing on the opposite end. It really works.
It should be secured to your porch with screws. The scraper is fantastic, but it will only work if it is secured to a deck, porch, or other stable platform.
That was the first and only time I had to use it in that manner. However, it would work on fresh or dried dog poo, but some fresh dog poo is sticky, and you'd be better off washing the bottoms of your boots/shoes first, because if you use this brush, you'll have to wash it off as well to avoid contaminating your next pair of shoes or the next person who uses it. Wouldn't it put you in the doghouse if your wife/husband was next in line, thinking they were scraping off their soil bits, and instead came away with POO on their SHOE, which they tracked right into the house? Anyway, doggie poo bags are the solution to not walking in poo in the first place, and all parents with children aged 8 to 20 should teach their children to use poo scoopers and/or poo bags in order to avoid a yard full of hazards. This is simply my viewpoint. Yes, when visitors bring their pets, which we welcome, they are given a pack of poo bags and expected to use them; what they do at home is unimportant to us, but what they do at our house is. We used to pick up our yard poo when we were told to on a regular basis when we were kids. If you have a dog or even a few cats, one of your responsibilities is to feed, brush, and love them, as well as your neighbors and visitors. Anyway, it would clean pet poo to some extent, but I wouldn't want to deal with the hassle of having to clean it while also having to wash off the creases and cravisis in my shoes. Plus, if you nailed this to a board like we did, it'll be much more difficult to hose off, depending on where you nailed it down. I like to clean my brooms, which I use both outside and inside, by the way, so I don't want poo residue on them. Here's an example of thinking outside the BOX.
They're made of stiff nylon or another synthetic material, I believe. Natural bristles don't hold up as well. This product appeals to me a great deal.
Selected User Reviews For JobSite The Original Boot Scrubber - All Weather Industrial Shoe Cleaner & Scraper Brush
We installed the Boot Scrubber on the west side of our second home in Maine a little over a year ago. I didn't use it very often because dragging my boots through the brush was quite difficult. Even a women's work boot has a tight fit. In any case, I tried to use it recently and the brushes broke; I'm guessing the afternoon sun, winter snow, or a combination of the two was too much for it. In a safe environment, you might be able to do better. We couldn't make it work.
About five years ago, I purchased a JobSite boot scrubber as well as a wooden one. The wooden one lasted a few years before falling apart, but it limped along for a year because I didn't ask much of it and almost exclusively used the JobSite Boot Scrubber. I finally bit the bullet and got a new JobSite the other day. Today it was delivered! Wow! What a quick response! I have mine mounted on an 18" x 18" piece of 3/4" plywood so that I can scrub one boot/shoe while standing on the other. You must be able to hold the boot scrubber, which is held in place by one foot's weight on the plywood. There is a saber-shaped hole in the plywood. I sawed a hole in it so that when I wash the scrubber, the old chicken poop will have somewhere to go when it's rinsed out. I set the plywood up on edge to drain and dry after rinsing the boot scrubber. It's very simple. Keep the boot scrubber off the floor if at all possible. You must be able to move it and clean it; otherwise, it will be a complete disaster. The JobSite boot scrubber is well-made, and the hard plastic bristles can withstand a lot of abuse. Scrubbers made of wood aren't very durable. Best wishes and have a great time!.
Pros: Hard plastic holds the bristles in place on a sturdy frame. This was purchased to replace another boot scrubber whose bristles were made of wood and eventually rotted. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product. It's a very small opening. Instead of staying horizontal and cleaning the sides of boots, my boot presses the side bristles down. The screws that come with the kit are very flimsy A. Before I could fully screw them into my deck, all four of them had stripped. I did, however, drill pilot holes in my deck to ensure that I wasn't over-extending myself. tightening the screws.
I misplaced it. br>br>I made a mistake in locating it. I put it up against a wall, about a foot away from it. When you pull your boot back, the long bristles fling a large amount of mud. As a result, my wall is covered in mud. That isn't a product flaw; just keep that in mind as you search for it.
This scrubber was purchased to replace a previous product that had broken in several places and was no longer functioning properly. This one is quite impressive; the brushes are effective, and the metal frame ensures that it will last; I should also mention that it comes with screws for mounting it to a floor or something similar. It can't be used unless it's mounted because the force of the brushes on your boots when cleaning them isn't enough to keep it in place. I'm using it in a garage with a concrete floor, and I'm not planning on leaving it there permanently. I'm going to try mounting it on a board with protrusions on both sides, so I can support one foot while cleaning the other.
This was a huge disappointment for me, and I'm not one of those sourpuss raters. The thing's frame was crooked and crooked again. Painted welds can be found on the inside of the metal frame. They were three in total. One was a visible, unpainted repair. It was so out of whack that it barely fit into its box. br>The brush bases were made of plastic, which had a defect. The driven screw had come out of the hole and refused to go back in. A ripped screw parts bag with one screw missing was also included. br>Now we'll talk about how it works. br>I have a men's size 7 hiking boot that I'd have to force into place to fit. It's likely that a dress loafer would be appropriate. I returned mine, so don't waste yours.
Although the side bristles get into the sole lugs just fine if you go at an angle, and this model has flats and corners on the metal sides to scrape soles (rather than round like some others), it is a bit tight for 12W boots. Weatherproof plastic blocks It appears to be quite robust. To get good leverage, I mounted it on a piece of plywood and stood back. For the spatter, aim it at the bushes rather than your house.
The actual product is satisfactory and matches the description. The manufacturer's box, on the other hand, appeared to have been thrown from a two-story building. Furthermore, the mounting screws that were supposed to come with the product were completely missing, requiring a trip to the hardware store. While not a complete failure, this indicates to me that the manufacturer (of course, in China) has little if any pride in its product and could care less whether you received what you paid for. I suppose one shouldn't expect much from a low-cost product and shouldn't complain too much. I would not purchase this item again.
