How should I clean my flip flops?

I have a pair of brown flip flops. They do not have any form of cloth material and they are thick. I have been looking for them for a few weeks and I found them in my mother’s closet. Apparently some animal got poop on them or got the smell of poop on them. I washed them with soap and water but they still stunk I cannot wear them again until they stop stinking or I am going to have the throw them away. I just put them in hot water and pine sol to soak. I do not know if this will ruin them but if I can%26#039;t get the smell out I can%26#039;t wear them so I didn%26#039;t care but will the flip flops like come apart and leave a big mess in my mama’s sink or something? If you have a better idea on hoe to clean them let me know.

launder them with other clothes, it will get clean
Reply:Try soaking them overnight in Oxyclean! Follow the instructions on the container. Scrub them if you wish, then just let them dry...and voilá!!! That%26#039;ll do the job!
Reply:Your solution sounds good, but I%26#039;d also suggest scrubbing them with a small scrub brush or an old tooth brush you can throw away after using. Scrub a bit of pinesol right into the area where the poop was. Rinse well with cold water, hot might hold the stink in the foam or rubber, etc. Another thing you can try is scrub the poop areas with an old brush and baking soda, as BS gets rid of odors. After you rinse them, dry with old rag or old towel and set them out in fresh air for a day. That should get rid of stink. I%26#039;d suggest you scrub sink out with comet or soft scrub and a small amount of bleach, and rinse well. Then mom might not be upset that you cleaned poopy flip flops in her sink.
Reply:I have washed flip flops in the washing machine with other clothes and had no problem. I would recommend washing them and adding 1/2 cup white vinegar to the rinse cycle. White vinegar is a great deodorizer--it kills germs and neutralizes odors. The vinegar smell dissipates as it dries. Let them air dry.
Reply:soak them is a bleach solution
Reply:Soak them in a sink full of hot water and bleach solution.
Reply:get brush and scrub them with hot water and soap now it will be fine let them dry.
Reply:try febreeze! spray it on, get an old toothbrush and scrub then rinse. I used it to remove cat urine.
