The Backstory

Like most parents I love watching my kids play sports. I love rooting for them and seeing them excel at something they enjoy. But as much as I love watching them play, I'm sick of dealing with muddy cleats after lacrosse or football practice. I hate the mud in my kids bags, in my car and in my house. Not to mention slipping around on muddy cleats can lead to common sports injuries.

The kids aren't the only one's who spend time outdoors. My wife loves gardening and more often than not you can catch me working on some kind of project around the house.

So I tried to find a solution to my families mud problem. You can imagine my surprise when I couldn't find a single product on the market for cleaning muddy shoes on the go. But I refused to surrender in my war against mud. So I set out to make the ultimate outdoor footwear cleaning tool for people in the field. Something affordable that could easily attach to any sports bag or fit in your pocket and could clean any type of shoe from sports cleats to construction boots.

After perfecting the preliminary design my son used his friend’s 3D printer to create the original prototype.

After several iterations, field tests and lots of feedback I've refined the design of the Mudslinger to tackle any kind of mess. My daughter has helped me apply for the patent, and I've found three engineers that can bring this product to life. This is where you come in.

We're ready to go

I've already figured out all of the manufacturing details including cost and lead time. I'm proud to say that the Mudslinger will be made entirely in the good ol USA.
