How brown depends on the strength of the solution.In fact my mother told me that during the war they used to use dilute potassium permanganate solution painted on their legs to "replace" stockings.

Gemonimo Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Theriere, I'm not sure how much it costs (I'm pretty sure it was two times nothing) and it deodorises shoes as well so it kills two birds with one stone. Or three if your have jock itch[Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 No Gem, I don't need it for jock itch [:)] but for other things swimming pool related, so thank you for that saves me fetching it over as borax which is harder to dissolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
