Birkenstock Care Guide: Clean & Maintain Comfort & Durability
Birkenstock sandals, renowned for their comfort and durability, require regular care to maintain their appearance and longevity. Here's a guide on how to clean and care for your Birkenstocks.
Start by removing loose dirt using a soft brush or slightly damp cloth. For deep cleaning, cork footbeds should be scrubbed with a brush and mild soap or baking soda solution. Air dry completely and apply a thin layer of Birkenstock cork sealer along the edges to protect the cork.
Leather and suede straps need different care. For leather, use leather shampoo or saddle soap and circular motions to clean, then apply leather conditioner. For suede, use a suede brush and art gum eraser for oily stains, followed by a suede conditioning product. Always store your Birkenstocks in a cool, dry place to extend their life.
Regular cleaning and care of Birkenstock sandals ensure they remain comfortable and durable. For deep stains or serious wear, consider professional cleaning or repair at a Birkenstock retailer. By following these steps, you can maintain the look and longevity of your Birkenstocks.
