Muddy football and soccer boots need more than a hose down. Here is how to handle muddy boots between matches and how Fresh Kicks cleans eligible sports-leather boots in Melbourne.
Football and soccer boots collect mud, grass stains and sweat every match. Left unwashed, the mud works into the upper and lining, the studs trap grime, and bacteria build up fast. That is what causes the smell that takes over the boot bag.
A quick knock-off keeps boots manageable between professional cleans:
Avoid putting football boots in a home washing machine or tumble dryer, which can damage the upper and the sole bond.
Fresh Kicks cleans eligible sports-leather football and soccer boots using a machine-cleaning process that flushes dirt from the upper, the lining and around the studs without manual scrubbing. Every pair then goes through a UV-assisted drying stage that targets the bacteria that cause odour.
We clean sports-leather football and soccer boots. We do not clean suede, nubuck or delicate dress leather.
If you look after a whole team, Fresh Kicks offers bulk collection for clubs and schools. We pick up all the boots at once, clean them, and return them on schedule. Request a club quote and we will tailor a recurring plan to your volume and season.
