To clean Crocs effectively, there are several recommended methods:

• Hand Washing: Rinse off loose dirt, then clean using a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. This is a gentle way to keep them clean regularly.
• Machine Washing: For classic Crocs made of Croslite™ foam, they can be cleaned on a delicate cycle in the washing machine using gentle laundry detergent.
• Drying: Air dry them naturally, avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause shrinking or warping.
• For Stubborn Dirt: Make a paste using baking soda and water, scrub the Crocs with it, then rinse thoroughly. Use dish soap and a brush for scrubbing if needed.
• Odor Removal: Soak insoles or inside the Crocs in a mix of equal parts white vinegar and water for 15-20 minutes, then rinse and air dry.
• Restoring Shine: Use products like Crocs Shine polish if desired to restore their look.
• Additional Tips: Remove any charms (Jibbitz) before washing. For fur-lined Crocs, gently scrub the fur lining without soaking excessively, then dry thoroughly.

These approaches can make Crocs look fresh and clean in about 10 minutes or less depending on the level of dirt.
