Fill a bucket halfway full with warm water and one or two tbsp. (15 to 30ml) of mild dish detergent. Swish it around in your bucket, until suds start to rise. After you've scrubbed the shoes thoroughly, give them a quick rinse with fresh warm water, inside, or from another bucket.

summary: Use dish detergent and warm water. Rinse with warm, clean water.

If you often find yourself pretending to be interested, this may be a sign that you should change the way you are interacting with others. There are many reasons you might not be interested in listening. Sometimes you just aren't in the mood, and that's fine. Other circumstances, however, call for different responses. You might not understand the topic well. Or, you might not feel like your views are being heard. You may just have no interest in the topic. It could just be that the person talking thinks they know best and only wants to hear their own perspective. Everyone finds themselves in the position of disinterested listener occasionally. However, constantly playing the role of an active listener isn't fulfilling and doesn't lay the groundwork for good conversations or satisfying relationships. Frequently, a person may lose interest in a conversation because he or she doesn't understand the topic well enough. In such a case, it might be worth asking for more explanation--you might be surprised to find you are interested! Often, people who know a great deal about a topic will discuss it at a level of detail or specificity that is hard for others to understand. If you want to keep the conversation going, ask them to explain in simpler terms. For example, you may have a friend who is chemist. You may find science to be generally interesting, but every time it comes up, your friend starts using terms you don't understand or discussing the details of their experiments. You might find some common ground if you can convince your friend to talk in more general, accessible terms. Sometimes a conversation isn't interesting because you aren't conversing, you're just listening. If you don't mind the topic but aren't enjoying the conversation, try adding your own thoughts and perspectives more often. Inserting your own views or feelings often improves conversation. As long as you aren't interrupting, sharing your thoughts on a topic can also show that you are really listening. Ultimately, the problem may be that you just aren't interested in a topic, even if you like the person talking. If you are willing to continue the conversation, but would rather talk about something mutually interesting, change the subject. Look for a chance to use something the other person has said as a "bridge" to a new topic. For example, if someone is talking to you about music, but you are much more interested in movies, you might look for an opportunity to bring up a famous film soundtrack as a means of shifting the topic. The problem may actually be the person talking rather than the topic. If this is the case, you may need to try to work on your relationship with that person, or maybe even end the relationship. For example, if someone you know only talks about themselves and never wants to listen to others, that person may be a narcissist. People like these can be very difficult to have conversations (or relationships) with. If the relationship is important to you, it may be worth talking to the other person about why you have a hard time conversing with them. If you and the other party care about each other, it may be possible to change the relationship in such a way that you want to listen and the other person wants to listen to you. Understanding the problem is the first step toward improving the relationship. If the relationship isn't important, it may just be that this is not someone you want to have conversations with. In such a case, it might be better to avoid contact rather than routinely having to pretend you are interested. While this can be hurtful, sometimes its for the best.

summary: Think about why you aren't interested in listening. Improve your understanding. Express your views. Change the subject. Change the relationship.

The easiest way to identify your range is with the assistance of a tuned instrument that you can play while you sing, like a piano or keyboard. If you do not have access to the physical instrument, download a piano app, such as Virtual Piano, on your smartphone, tablet, or other device as a substitute. Using an online piano on your laptop or device will give you access to a full simulated keyboard. It will also make it much easier to figure out which notes are your highest and lowest because the app will actually indicate the correct scientific pitch notation for a key as you play it. Start by figuring out what the bottom end of your natural range is by locating the lowest note that you can sing comfortably without your voice croaking or cracking. You should also not have to "breathe" the note; that is, its tone quality should match that of the rest of your chest voice and not have a breathy or scratchy sound. Instead of trying to pull your lowest note out of thin air, start by singing a higher note on a consistent vowel sound (like "ah" or "ee" or "oo") and work your way down the scale into your lowest registers. If you're a woman, start with an easy C4 (middle C on the piano), and work your way down the keys, matching each note until you hit your lowest. If you're a man, play a C3 on the piano, and go down one key at a time from there. The goal is to find the lowest note you can still sing comfortably, so do not count notes that you cannot sustain. Once you know how far down your voice can reach comfortably, try to go a bit lower, key by key and note by note. Breathy notes that you can sustain count here, but croaky notes that you cannot hold do not. For some singers their normal and breathy lowest notes may coincide. For others, they might not. Once you have found your lowest normal-voiced note and the lowest one you can reach, write them down. Do so by identifying the piano key that corresponds to the note and then figuring out its correct scientific pitch notation. For example, if the lowest note you can hit as you descend the scale is the second-to-last E on the keyboard, then you'd write down E2.
summary: Locate a piano-like instrument. Find the lowest note you can sing in your normal (modal) voice. Sing the lowest note you can, including breathing. Record your lowest notes.
