If you know, you know – the two soccer cleat essentials I cannot live without, and one has 23 per cent off in the Amazon Prime Day sale!

I play a lot of soccer on artificial turf and find my cleats get stained by the rubber. It used to bum me out until one day a team-mate told me about the best hack.

Squish Magic Eraser Sponges. These magic erasers have powerful cleaning abilities that remove stains from cleats so easily.

People use them for stoves, bathtubs and furniture, but on cleats they are a super hack. All you need is the sponge and water.

They’re environmentally friendly too. The magic sponge is made of melamine foam – no chemicals, no irritation, it’s a harmless and non-toxic cleaning substitute.

You can even cut them to your desired shape and size which saves waste too. I use them mainly on my cleats, but they’re a great product to have around the house too and can clean just about any surface under your roof.

Seriously, buy a few packs for your locker and you won’t regret it, especially if you’re OCD about your cleats. You should be, those things are expensive!

Meet the Cleat Buddy

The second locker essential is actually a product you should use BEFORE you break out the magic erasers. Say high to the Boot Buddy, a product developed in Europe that makes cleaning dirty cleats a cinch.
