How to Clean Crocs?

Crocs are great for almost any occasion.

Meeting the needs of both comfort and style, Crocs shoes are perfect for everything from working in the garden to making an impression at a job interview. With so many styles available, it's easy to find a pair to suit almost any occasion. Like any shoes that are worn regularly, they will tend to accumulate dirt. Dirt can mar the appearance of these shoes, but fortunately Crocs require very little to keep them looking great.

Things You'll Need

• Clean cloth
• Mild dish soap
• Clean dry towel
• Leather cleaner
• Pencil eraser

Instructions

Cleaning Classic Crocs

1. Use a clean cloth to brush away any loose dirt.

2. Fill the sink with cold soapy water and submerge the shoes to get them wet and help loosen any tough-to-remove caked-on dirt and debris.

3. Wipe the shoes gently with a clean cloth or sponge dipped in the cold soapy water.

4. Rinse the shoes under cold running water to remove any residual soap.

5. Remove any excess moisture with a clean dry towel and set them someplace cool and dry until they are dry enough to wear again.

Cleaning Leather Crocs

1. Brush the shoes lightly with a barely damp clean cloth.

2. Clean the shoes with an appropriate leather cleaner for your specific type of shoes. Crocs can be made of patent leather, metallic leather, smooth Napa leather, and suede. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the leather cleaner carefully.

3. Use a pencil eraser to gently remove stains from leather Crocs by gently wiping. You can purchase special leather erasers wherever leather supplies are sold, but a pencil eraser will achieve the same thing.
