How to Clean Crocs Shoes
Crocs are shoes made for men, women and children. They are so light because they only weigh 6 oz. These shoes also contain a no-slip bottom to prevent falls. Many nurses choose to wear Crocs because they mold to your feet and provide added comfort. This allows nurses to remain on their feet for 12-hour shifts. They have also become a fashionable shoe choice for people of all ages. Because the material is so different, owners may not be sure how they can clean their Crocs.

1
Fill a bowl with some warm water and one drip of Ivory dish soap. You may use another brand of dish soap, but Ivory is the most gentle. Grab a wash cloth and carefully wipe down your Crocs. Wash the bottoms last because they will be the dirtiest. If you wash them first, you bowl of water will become filthy and need to be replaced. Dry your Crocs by laying them out to dry naturally.

Use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, which is perfect for getting off those stains that just won't come off with soap and water. Rub the Magic Eraser over the stain until it disappears. This method works even on scuff marks.

Fill a bowl 75 percent full of warm water and then add 25 percent bleach. Use an old rag to apply the bleach water to your Crocs. This will not only get them clean, but it will also kill any bacteria. Since Crocs are worn in the summer without socks, this is important. Also, if there is any foot odor, the bleach will get rid of it.

Fill a bucket with warm water and 1/4 cup of baking soda. Set your Crocs in the bucket and come back for them 10 minutes later. If there is any dirt still remaining on the Crocs, you will be able to scrub it off with an old toothbrush. Let your Crocs air dry before wearing them again.
