How To Clean Lined Crocs?

Cleaning lined crocs are actually easier than you thought. There are two methods of cleaning you can follow. You can choose either one of them:

Cleaning By Hand

To clean crocs by hand is the easiest and risk-free method. Experts call it a light cleaning method. The official website of crocs recommends following this method. They made a point only, not the whole procedure. Here’s how to clean fur lined crocs by using your hand:

Step 1

In this step, take a bowl or bucket with some slightly warm water. You can also take cold or room temperature water. Don’t take boiling hot water or warm water above 30 degrees Celsius. Both Crostile material and fur can’t bear extreme temperatures. 

Now mix some mild soap or laundry detergent into that water. People also use dish soap or baking soda as a by-product to wash crocs. But they aren’t necessary here.

Step 2

Now plunge the crocs into that soapy water. Keep it there for about 5 minutes so that the stains and debris can get loosened. Now rub the body of the shoe to get rid of those tough stains. 

Use a scrub brush to extract any dirt or mud from the fluffy fur. Don’t rub it. Now gently pull them out of the water and soak them with a dry towel.

Step 3

Now about drying them up, don’t ever think of using a dryer. The slightly warm water already made the fur lined crocs vulnerable. If you use a dryer, the hot air will spoil the shape of the shoe. Naturally air dries them or keeps them below direct sunlight. 

Cleaning  By Washing Machine

This is another useful method you should follow to get a nice pair of clean crocs shoes. This is the deep cleaning method, but the producing company doesn’t allow this method to wash your crocs. Now here’s how to clean crocs(fur-lined) in a washing machine:

Step 1

In the first step, you should get rid of the liner from your shoes. Some of the crocs allow you to remove the liner, and some of them won’t. Remember that if the liner cannot be removed then don’t throw the shoe into the washing machine. Stick to the light cleaning method. 

Now after removing the liner, cover the fuzzy crocs with a cloth or towel. Use caution to put them into the machine as you don’t want to expose the shoes directly to the warm water of the machine. 

Step 2

Keep the temperature of the washing machine at less than 30 degrees Celsius. Add mild soap or laundry detergent to the water. Now set the washing machine to gentle wash and wash it for 5-6 minutes.

To clean the liner, use a scrub brush to get rid of any dirt. Wash them by hand if necessary.

Step 3

Now let air dry the liner and crocs itself in a well-ventilated area. You can also dry them under direct sunlight but keep an eye out for whether they don’t get too hot.
