Cleats Like New

The problem is that new cleats are expensive, making it challenging for athletes and sports enthusiasts to afford or replace them regularly. As a result, individuals may struggle to maintain optimal performance and safety while participating in sports activities.

Constraint List:

1. Limited budget: Users may not have sufficient funds to purchase new cleats.
2. Wear and tear: Old cleats may have significant signs of wear and require restoration.
3. Performance and safety: The restored cleats should meet performance standards and ensure the safety of the user.
4. Time and effort: The restoration process should be efficient and feasible for individuals with limited time and resources.
5. Durability: The restored cleats should be able to withstand regular use and provide a reasonable lifespan.

Brainstorming Ideas:

1. Cleaning and reconditioning: Develop a process for deep cleaning and restoring the appearance of old cleats.
2. Repairing damaged parts: Introduce methods to fix or replace damaged components such as soles, laces, or insoles.
3. Enhancing traction: Implement techniques to improve the grip and traction of worn-out cleats.
4. Odor elimination: Find solutions to remove unpleasant odors caused by bacteria or sweat buildup.

Solution: My solution is to make a process that effectively removes dirt and stains while conditioning the cleat material.

soap, water, a scrubber, a screwdriver, and a bucket are needed for the deep cleaning.

Use a screwdriver to pick off the big chunks of dirt.

After taking off the big chunks of dirt soak each cleat in hot water for 10 minutes.

scrub off the soft wet dirt with the scrub and water until it is all gone and wipe and leftover dirt with a towel.

add water to soap to make foam and use the foam on the leather and scrub hard with the scrubber to get rid of the dirt.
