Clean mud from Mudder Boots

How to clean your Mudder Boots?

Mudder Boots are designed and built for exposure to harsh mud conditions, although they still require adequate treatment, which helps in their performance and life span. Mudder boots are mainly used in tough conditions like hunting, oyster harvesting, and outdoor tourism, but they are not challenging to wash.

This guide will help you keep your Mudder Boots clean with minimal effort.

How to clean your Mudder Boots?

Mudder Boots are built with non-stick plastic, which makes them easy to clean. However, it is also vital to protect the boots' anti-corrosion capabilities while washing to maintain their optimal performance for an extended period.

Here are some cleaning tips and guidelines for Mudder Boots:

Immediate Rinsing and Cleaning

Rinse your Mudder Boots with clean water immediately after use. While rinsing, focus on removing visible mud, debris, and other dirt from your boots.

Use a gentle stream of water for cleaning to prevent damage to the surface and the chemical layer that resists corrosion.

Gentle Clean & Wash

Use lukewarm water to wash your Mudder Boots. To clean mud and debris, you can use a wet, soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush. You can also use mild soap to clean dirt marks if needed.

However, it is important to avoid washing with harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaning materials, and petroleum cleaners as they can affect the anti-corrosion layer. Moreover, you should also avoid using pressure washers for your Mudder Boots.

Washing After Saltwater

If you have been wearing our footwear accessory in salt water, you should wash it thoroughly with fresh water. Saltwater can affect the boots' anti-corrosion properties, so they should be cleaned and washed properly after exposure to saltwater.

Pay special attention to the steel buckles while cleaning, and dry them thoroughly before storing them.

Winter Cleaning Tips

After using Mudder Boots in snow or ice, rinse them with lukewarm water. Similarly, after cleaning, ensure complete drying to prevent material degradation. 

Material Specific Care

Buckle Care

  • Rinse black-oxide-coated steel buckles with fresh water, especially after saltwater exposure. 

  • Check buckles periodically for corrosion or damage.

  • Lubricate it with silicone-based lubricants if needed.

Suction Holes

Mudder Boots feature suction holes that eliminate suction and assist with drainage while walking on soft terrain.

These tiny holes are crucial to boot performance and need a delicate cleaning approach.

  • Use a gentle stream of lukewarm water to extract initial debris.

  • Hold the Mudder Boots at an angle to allow water to flow through the holes.

  • Avoid using high water pressure that might damage the holes.

  • You can use a soft brush to remove all stuck particles.

  • You can use compressed air to clean suction holes, but always use it at a low-pressure setting and hold the nozzle at a slight distance.

Drying and Storing Tips

Air dry your boots, but avoid drying them in direct sunlight. Before storing your shoes, make sure they dry off completely.

Store the Mudder Boots in a dry place away from sunlight. To maintain structural integrity, you can either hang them or store them flat. While storing, avoid compression or bending, especially on the wings of the boots.
