prohibited imports

When shipping my belongings will I have to ensure shoes, trainers and boots are perfectly clean and free from soil or plant material? Even the tiniest, barley visible particles and stains?

Had a look on Singapore customs website which didn't say any foreign plant material is prohibited but a removal consultant said it might be. Thus does apply to Australia but Im not sure about Singapore

You should not face such problems when entering Singapore.

This reminds me of one of my trips to Aus/NZ. It was as a sports team, the customs officials made the entire squad wash and scrub the boots and kits outside the check area. But they provided the tools though: hoses, soap, scrapers, the whole shebang.
