The proper way to clean our ice skates is:
1. Get a paper towel, napkin, or wash cloth and wet it slightly
2. If there are a lot of dirt marks then put a little soap or dishwashing soap
3. Gently wipe the whole skate down
4.If you really really want them sparkling and want to get ALL of the scratch and dirt marks off you can use this chemical called Bestine, its safe but flammable (you can get it at your local hardware store)
5. Dry EVERYTHING with another paper towel or wash cloth
6. And lastly to clean the blade part just get a baby wipe and wipe it and dry it quickly and for no rust stains wipe the ice off after ice skating and put your soakers on the blade
Your skates will look good as new ( I wash mine once every week)

Why are ice skates different than the other kinds of skates?
Ice skates are different because they have blades on them and they are designed differently than per Se roller skates. Roller skates have more padding and have wheels on them, while figure skates have blades on them. If one wanted to compare a figure skate to a hockey skate, for example, a hockey skate does not have toe-picks while a figure skate does. Hope this helps :)

Are there any safe hockey skates that cant cut people?
The blades on hockey skates are only as sharp as the wearer has honed them. Professional ice skates (hockey skates included) are very sharp and are honed after every session. If there is contact, the blades can cut flesh. Guards are put on the blades immediately after coming off the ice. Blades that are dull are not as fast on the ice. Being cut with the blade of a hockey skate is not a primary concern of athletes.
