How do you guys keep your kites for getting dirty? My main field I fly at is made up of Lacrosse and Soccer fields but it is the dirtiest field I have ever been on. My shoes, socks and legs get covered with a black coating after any time walking around the field . As you can guess my kites get pretty dirty also and everything I have read here said you should avoid cleaning the kites. I will admit I did try to clean out a few grass stains the wrong way (lightly scrubbing with a very soft cloth instead of blotching ) on my Viper S when I first got it. I think at this point it if I fly at that field there is no way to avoid a dirty kite.

wear them proudly my brother......like a good scrape to the knee.... or stop flying in the fracking areas

I don't keep my kites from getting dirty from time on the soccer fields, I just fly them in a snowstorm and they seem to clean themselves. It's about a once a year process!

If you really want to keep em super clean, BigKidKites does sell a shampoo specifically made to clean sail-type material, and that could be right up your alley.

Try laying out a tarp for launching and landing. Markite usually lays one out at NABX for his arcs and it helps a lot.
