FYI, thanks to AI imagery software, we’re able to create very specific fashion examples to illustrate the points being made.

How Do I Wash Crocs?

The regular or original crocs are made from a material that is croslite polymer. This is not the same as plastic or rubber. This material is porous and filled with a natural resin. This polymer does not like being subjected to high temperatures. As a result, it is essential that you do not wash your crocs in water temperatures higher than 30 degrees Celsius. 

In addition to a low temperature, you should consider washing your Crocs in a special bag. This bag prevents the shoes from losing their shape. A pillowcase can be used instead of the special bag. You can use old towels in the washer instead to prevent the deformation of the shoes. 

When you wash your Crocs in the washer, you want to turn off the spin and drying functions. Spin and drying functions are what cause your shoes to deform. They can also damage the croslite polymer. When you wash your Crocs in the washing machine, all you need to use is regular detergent.

How Do I Wash Fuzzy Crocs In The Washing Machine?

There are a large number of crocs that have fuzzy materials. They have fur-lining and are called fuzzy crocs. They are comfortable and cozy but get dirty easily. So you have to keep them clean. There are a number of steps you need to follow when you want to clean your fuzzy Crocs in the washing machine.

You want to remove the lining from the fuzzy Crocs. You can remove them easily, which makes them easy to clean. If the liner gets dirty from dirt, snow, and soil. You can scrub them to get the shoes clean. It would be best if you did not put the liners in the washing machine because they will stretch and wear out. 

It would be best if you brushed the dirt out of the liners once you remove them. You should also make sure there is no dirt on the shoes that might ruin the washing machine.

When you put the Crocs in the washing machine, it must be on 30 degrees Celsius. It is critical that you keep them at a low temperature to ensure they do not get damaged. If you wash them above 40 degrees, it could damage the shoes. 

Once you take the shoes out of the washing machine and you make sure the shoes are dry, you should air dry them. This ensures that your shoes will not stretch. Crocs dry quickly in a short period of time. 

Other Ways To Wash Crocs

If you would rather wash your Crocs in a different manner other than with a washing machine. You do not have a large amount of control when putting them in the washing machine. 

Wash By Hand

One of the best and safest ways to clean your Crocs is by hand. You have complete control over the pressure used on the shoes. It would be best if you had mild soap and a coarse sponge. You can use your sink or a bucket. First, pour water over your Crocs, so they are wet. Then, put some of the soap on the dirty surface of the shoes and scrub them gently. 

You want to apply as much pressure as you think is needed. You can also use a bristle brush with soap if a sponge is not available. A brush gives you control and the ability to cover more surface area. 

If you have Crocs with a fuzzy lining, keep the liner in the shoe. Then use a hard bristle brush to scrub the liner. As the shoe is drying, you should take the liner out of the Crocs so it can dry properly. Otherwise, it may begin to stink. 

You want to ensure that you are using cold water. If your Crocs have difficult stains, you can purchase special chemicals that are used to clean shoes. This makes the shoes easier to clean.
