How to properly care for slippers?

Slippers do not need to be cleaned every week. Certainly, we wear slippers every day. But while street shoes are permanently confronted with dirt and grime when outside, it is largely clean at home. Here, food residues, liquids or even dust are the biggest opponent for a clean slipper.

3 ways for cleaning:

• Damp cloth: The gentlest way to clean your slipper is with a damp rag. By warm water, it does wonders for cleaning. For superficial stains, dishwashing liquid helps. Dishwashing liquid has a grease-dissolving effect, which makes it easier to remove contamination from the materials. However, avoid a long scrubbing with the sponge. Here, the upper materials can be unnecessarily damaged. After wiping the slipper, you should leave it for a few hours so that it can dry properly. This process can be accelerated under the heater.


• Washing machine: Felt and wool slippers can be washed at 30° unless otherwise noted. Important: do not use a dryer or fabric softener! It is best to stuff the slippers for drying with newspaper, so that the shape is not lost. If your slippers have a rubber or cork footbed you should not wash them in the washing machine.


• Brush: Impurities are good to remove with a brush. Especially dust and animal hair can be removed from the upper material of the shoes. However, it is different for stains caused by coffee, for example. Depending on the slipper, you should pay attention to which brush you should use.
