    My pale blue wellies have become slightly discoloured in places and I can't get them back to their original colour. They've turned a greenish colour in parts, I've tried Jif, Milton, nail polish remover, baking soda and to no avail. I didn't soak them in any of these though. Any advice?

    Are they Hunter wellies or what? If they're expensive, it might be worth checking out the Hunter cleaning stuff. If not, I wouldn't be spending too much time on them, as they'd be easily replaced with a new pair. Great weather for them, these days!

    No :-( which is a pity cause there's loads of advice online about cleaning Hunters!! Oh well... I'm at a loss. These are a specific design and are not for sale any longer so I really wanted these ones for various reasons. But you're right, I should at least have a look to see what else is available. :-) thanks

    Oh I forgot to take a pic :-( No they're not - I got them in TK Maxx last July/ Aug and just wore them once :-( Was reminded last night by the OH that they were left out in the sun for at least a month cause we didn't have a shed back then.... so I don't know if it's fixable if it's cause of sun damage... i loved them!
