How to maintain and choose slippers

How do you keep your everyday slippers clean?

Because slippers are used every day, dirt and odors can be a concern. However, if you know the proper maintenance methods, you can easily keep them clean.

Here we will introduce how to care for each type of slipper.


Maintenance methods for different types of slippers

1. Fabric slippers

Cloth slippers are soft to the touch and have excellent moisture absorption properties, but they have the disadvantage of being prone to retaining dirt and odors.

Maintenance method

  • Regularly put it in a laundry net and wash it by hand or in the washing machine (if it is washable)
  • If you cannot wash it, use a disinfectant spray and dry it in the shade in a well-ventilated area.
  • If the stain is noticeable, wipe it off with a cloth soaked in neutral detergent.

Points to note

  • It is important to dry it completely, as insufficient drying can cause odor.
  • It is recommended to put it in a laundry net when washing, as it is easy to lose its shape.

2. Wool or felt slippers

Wool and felt items are warm in the winter and have a natural texture, but they are prone to staining and are sensitive to water, so they should be washed by hand.

Maintenance method

  • Wash gently with lukewarm water and dry in the shade
  • If you notice any dirt, wash it with a mild detergent.
  • Use anti-static spray to prevent dust from sticking

Points to note

  • Do not scrub hard, wash gently
  • Do not use a dryer (as this may cause shrinkage)

3. Leather slippers

Genuine leather slippers have a luxurious feel and develop a beautiful patina with use. However, they are vulnerable to water and dirt and require special care.

Maintenance method

  • Regularly moisturize with leather cream to prevent cracking
  • Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt
  • If it gets wet, quickly wipe it off with a dry cloth and dry it in the shade.

Points to note

  • Do not wash with water (leather may harden or discolor)
  • Be careful not to store in a humid place as this may cause mold.

4. Synthetic leather slippers

Synthetic leather slippers have the luxurious feel of leather, but are water and stain resistant and easy to clean.

Maintenance method

  • Just wipe it with alcohol or a disinfectant wipe.
  • Wipe off dirt with water and finish with a dry cloth
  • Long-lasting and maintains its beauty without special care

Points to note

  • Do not rub hard, wipe gently
  • Store out of direct sunlight to prevent deterioration
