Anne King experienced the phenomenon at Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport, Maine. She tried some strong methods, including Tide-to-Go, when oils and scrubbing with soap didn’t get rid of the substance.

“I wish I had a picture before. They were totally black, intractable – soap, nothing,” King said. “I tried the Tide-To-Go. I figured it would bleach it, but nothing worked.”

Reminded me of old food service days. One of the first things I was taught was bleach is not a cleaner. It's a disenfectant and can be used to whiten laundry.

Though it stinks I find WD40 is great for cleaning tough stains. I don’t know if is good at cleaning dirty feet.
