Are Crocs trendy? It’s a question that has been asked for years. Personally, when you’re in love with these shoes, you’ll rock the pair! I have OG Crocs sitting on an office shelf (true story, check the photos below). Yes, I’m that type of person. Ultimately, whether the question is to Croc or not, Croc is the question. What’s not a question now is how to get rid of Crocs since I will address that question this morning.
Fortunately, cleaning Crocs is pretty simple. The method you use to clean your Crocs will depend on the type of Crocs you have.
So, no matter what kind of Crocs you wear, showing off the streets in a tidy pair is possible.
How to Clean Crocs
Classic Crocs, also called Classic Clogs, are made out of Croslite, the signature material that the firm trademarks. Croslite is a foam, which makes it water-proof and easy to clean. You only need moderate dish soap, a Microfiber towel, a cleaning toothbrush, and hot water to clean your classic Crocs.
Begin by washing the Crocs in warm water. This will help remove any accumulated dirt and help you get your work done. Fill your tub or sink with warm water. Add one teaspoon of dish soap that is mild. Then, soak your Crocs for a minimum of ten minutes. The dish soap can help remove grime and dirt quickly.
Rinse your Crocs with water and apply the cleaning brush to scrub. The toothbrush can be helpful to get vent holes in the interior and other places that are difficult to reach. After you’re done, clean to dry and polish your Crocs with a microfiber cloth.
Alternatively, you can put Crocs into the washing machine in a gentle cycle. I would not do this unless they require a thorough cleaning, as it can cause them to wear out faster than hand washing.
How to Clean White Crocs
I receive a lot of inquiries, specifically on cleaning white shoes. So, before it’s too late, let me show you the best way to clean your white Crocs.
If your white Crocs were initially Crocs, clean them like traditional Crocs. If they are slightly dirty Crocs, it could be sufficient. However, classic white Crocs tend to be soiled by dirt and grass staining over colored Crocs, and maybe you are just a fan of super white Crocs. Don’t worry; I’ve got a clean technique for you.
Clean your classic white Crocs following the directions in the earlier section. Next, take out the baking soda. Use a clean, moist microfiber cloth, and smooth your white Crocs using baking soda until they’re sparkling.
It’s possible to do this with lined white Crocs also. However, be sure to use baking soda only for the Croslite material and not the lining or any other material that’s not Croslite.
How to Clean Fuzzy Crocs or Lined Crocs
Okay, you’ve found those incredibly cozy-looking lined Crocs. In the first place, I’m super jealous! But that’s not the reason why you’re here. Cleaning your lined fuzzy Crocs will require more elbow grease. The lining on Crocs doesn’t get rid of, and you aren’t able to soak them in water or toss them in the washer.
Instead, take a microfiber cloth,, an unclean toothbrush, an ice-cold bowl, and a couple of drops of gentle dishwashing soap. You will dampen your microfiber with warm water and dish soap and gently scrub the exterior inside of the Crocs (and do not scream at me with the phrase”moist”!). Ensure not to splash this solution onto the lining, only on the Croslite outside. Use your cleaning brush to wash the soles and air vents well.
If the lining of your Crocs may be smelling unappetizing, Baking soda can help again. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda on the lining, and let the lining sit overnight. Scrub off the excess the next day, and you’ll have fresh-smelling Crocs.
If you’re thinking, Melissa, a bit of baking powder won’t be enough to solve the foot odor. I know what you’re thinking! Please go through my DIY shoe Powder to find a potent solution for stinky shoes.
