Never use a wire brush on your boots as it is too strong. Instead, you should use a brush made of a soft, natural material.

Using excessive gelatin on the bolts is also not a good idea, as it can loosen them or reduce friction.

After each use, you should wash the cleats. This is a good habit. Also, don’t throw away your old toothbrushes. Instead, keep them somewhere in your house and then use them to clean your football boots.
