Sports shoe cleaning for shoes that work hard
Running shoes, gym trainers, football boots and cricket spikes go through sweat, mud and turf every week. We deep clean them, wash the insoles and get rid of the smell, without breaking down the foam that keeps your feet comfortable.
Built for sweat, still need cleaning
Sports shoes are designed to breathe, which means sweat goes straight into the foam and lining. Bacteria love it. That is where the smell comes from, and why spraying deodorant only covers it for a day. We clean the inside as thoroughly as the outside.
- Running shoes: mesh uppers, foam midsoles and road grime
- Gym and training shoes: sweat, chalk and odour
- Football boots: turf, mud packed into studs, grass stains
- Cricket shoes: red soil and spike plates
- Badminton and court shoes: gum sole marks and scuffs
- Trail and hiking shoes: caked mud, Sahyadri trails included
Careful with the cushioning
Heat and harsh chemicals break down EVA and other foams, which makes a shoe feel flat and less supportive. We use mild cleaners and air dry slowly, so your shoes come back clean without feeling worn out.
The process
How the clean works, step by step
Pickup and a proper look
We collect from your door, note scuffs, loose soles and old stains with you, and tag each pair so nothing gets mixed up.
Laces out, dry brush first
Laces and insoles come out. Loose dirt and dried mud are brushed off before any water touches the shoe.
Cleaned by material
Mesh and canvas get a foam wash, leather a pH-balanced cleaner, suede a dry eraser and steam. One method never fits every pair.
Soles and midsoles
Rubber edges and midsoles are scrubbed by hand. Yellowed white soles get a separate whitening treatment where it is safe to use.
Deodorise and sanitise
Insoles and the inside lining are washed and treated for odour, so the shoe smells clean when you put your foot in, not just on the outside.
Air dried, laced, delivered
Shoes dry slowly in moving air with no direct heat, which is what warps glue and cracks leather. Then fresh laces in, packed, and back to you.

FAQ
Questions people ask us
Can you clean football boots?
Yes. Mud and turf are cleared from the studs, the upper is cleaned and the inside deodorised.
Will cleaning damage the cushioning?
No. We avoid heat and harsh chemicals, which are what break foam down.
Do you clean team or academy shoes?
Yes. Batches from teams, gyms and academies are easy to schedule in one pickup.
Can you get rid of gym shoe smell?
Yes. Insoles and lining are washed and treated, which removes the source of the smell, not just the surface.
