        man_made=boot_cleansing ??


    Seems about as good as anything else.  Not really leisure or
    amenity because it's not for fun and it's
    more of a requirement than a lifestyle choice ("I think I need to
    get my boots cleansed one day this week," or
    "Let's go for an afternoon of boot cleansing").

One person has commented that it really is footwear cleansing .. to cover shoes, boots .. etc.


        I used 'cleansing' rather than 'cleaning' to try and get away
        from the beatification thing.


    There's only one location where boot beatification could take
    place.  But I doubt the Pope would do it.
    Perhaps you meant beautification. :)

        May be at the same time a tag for boot/shoe beatification
        should be created so they are distinguishable in OSM and
        mappers then have the choice rather than lumping them all in
        together.


    Assuming you meant beautification, then I'd agree.  If you
    document it but nobody uses it then all you've wasted is a
    few words in the wiki.  If you don't document it then people WILL
    abuse your cleansing tag because it's the best fit
    they can find (If the boot fits, beatify it).


Yes. I really do want to avoid the misuse of the tag by those who cannot be bothered to make a more correct tag.

The use of the term 'footwear' is too cumbersome, especially if translated into other languages. I'd like to keep it simple.  In order to separate the two I like to distinguish them by using shoe for the beautification/cleaning and boot for the cleansing/purging. The boot is usually seen as the more rugged of the two and usually taken as the thing used for bush-walking/tramping etc.

So possibly

man_made=shoe_cleaning

and

man_made=boot_cleansing
or
man_made=boot_purging

Any other ideas as to words to use?
I like that purging is a significantly different form from cleaning - leading to more visual separation between the two tags.
