How to Clean Cleats


King asked, “How do you clean cleats?”

Table of Contents:

  2. Additional Tips and Advice
  3. Sources

No matter what sport you play, your cleats can get muddy within minutes. Whereas the removal of mud from most shoes is best completed once dry, mud removal from cleats is best completed while still wet, so clean them as soon as you can after a game.¹

Cleaning the Cleats

You Will Need:

  • A hose or faucet
  • Nylon scrub brush

Steps to Clean the Cleats:

  1. Use a hose or faucet to spray the cleats clean. The mud is wet and the sweat is wet, so don’t worry too much about applying more water to the upper part.¹
  2. Use a nylon scrub brush to remove any caked on mud or grass clumps.¹
  3. Examine your spikes as you clean them and look for any that are worn or uneven. Uneven cleats can alter the fit of the shoe and may need to be replaced.¹
  4. If the shoe needs cleaning, follow the information in this article: How to Clean Sneakers.
  5. Allow the cleats to air dry. Do not place them in the dryer or near a heat source to hasten drying time, as this can cause the shoes to shrink or warp.¹
  6. If the shoes need to be deodorized, follow the information in this article: Removing the Stink from Shoes.

Additional Tips and Advice

  • Have a putty knife¹ or large scrub brush available on the sidelines during a game to remove the mud as it accumulates.²
