Fleece-lined Crocs are a cozy and versatile footwear choice, perfect for colder months. To keep them clean and fresh, follow this simple guide.
1. Gather Your Supplies
You’ll need the following items:
- Mild soap or detergent
- Warm water
- A soft-bristle brush or an old toothbrush
- A microfiber cloth or sponge
- A bowl or small bucket
2. Remove Loose Dirt and Debris
Start by gently shaking your Crocs to remove loose dirt or debris. Use a soft-bristle brush to scrub off any visible dirt from the outer surface.
3. Detach the Fleece Lining (If Possible)
Some fleece-lined Crocs have removable linings. Check your Crocs to see if the fleece can be detached. If it can, carefully remove it before cleaning the outer shoe.
4. Prepare a Cleaning Solution
Mix warm water with a small amount of mild soap or detergent in a bowl. Ensure the solution is not too soapy to avoid leaving residue on the shoes.
5. Clean the Outer Crocs
Dip the soft-bristle brush or sponge into the soapy solution. Gently scrub the outer surface of your Crocs, focusing on stains or dirty areas. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry with a microfiber cloth.
6. Wash the Fleece Lining
If the fleece lining is removable, hand wash it in the soapy solution. Gently scrub to remove dirt or odors, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid using hot water, as it can damage the fleece. Squeeze out excess water carefully without twisting to maintain its shape.
7. Dry the Shoes and Lining
Air dry both the Crocs and the fleece lining in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not use a dryer, as it can warp the shoes or shrink the fleece.
8. Reassemble and Enjoy
Once completely dry, reattach the fleece lining to your Crocs. They are now clean, fresh, and ready to wear!
Tips for Maintenance
- Clean your fleece-lined Crocs regularly to prevent dirt buildup.
- For stubborn odors, sprinkle baking soda inside the fleece lining and let it sit overnight before cleaning.
With these steps, your fleece-lined Crocs will stay in excellent condition for many seasons to come!
