I think it stands for Putrid Shoe Insides, 500 being the cc's of oxygen you need after sticking your hooter in a boot.

there must something ,more inventive you can do with 500 psi of boot destinker...

how about using it to play a game like darts but with wetsuit boots as a board.

childs boots for more points. size 13 boots for less points. bonus if you play outside in the wind

600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it.
Also International 14, 1318

Gonna have to get some of that if only for the name. But does 500PSI relate to pressure induced by the odour or the pressure of spray required to kill it.

I don't think my boots will cope with 500 PSI after the amount of spin cycles they've been through but I have to find something as the washing machine burst open during the spin and kept going in protest until it had spat out the majority of my sailing kit

A friend at my club reckons sticking them in the freezer before washing gets rid of the smell.

I'd try it myself but my wife has threatened me with....well lets just say it would be very painful, if I even went anywhere near the freezer with the boots.

Enough of this jibbar jabber BNS how is your bum, (after the bike ride that is). How did it go, how long did take you, did you manage to lose Mark?

Anything to get rid of bacteria.
I found anti-bac hand soap a little too frothy if not rinsed really well, especially if the boots are largely composed of neoprene.
The cheapo pine-fresh disinfectant gives me a rash, so I use the slightly more expensive version.
There's a big black bin in our garden, for sailing gear only. It's full of water and disinfectant and gets changed at least once a week. When we come back from sailing, all wet gear goes in there overnight and gets dried during the week. Recalcitrant smelly boots get the Oxy-Clean treatment: 1 spoonful of Oxy-Clean in a bucket overnight, rinse a bit, no foam, no smell!!  

The other thing to remember is to dry the boots fairly quickly, with plenty of air to circulate. Headfry and I have got the same garden decor: sailing boots on bamboo canes    Chelsea Flower Show next year, headfry??

 I think what started the stench was Rolling his (er...my mate that is) main up on the Lawn behind the club, it was raining hard and the grass was covered in rabbit droppings. The sail then went on to his kit bag in the back of the car. It then drained into his kit. ( He was tired and emotional at the time and just wanted to get home and dry)

 He's going to try some of these remedies but will probably end up Nuking them.
