Winter slippers are an essential item to face the colder months. In addition to keeping them soft and comfortable, it is important to keep them clean to ensure hygiene and durability.
If you don't have many tools available, here's how to clean them easily with what you have at home.
1. Why is it important to clean winter slippers?
Winter slippers, with their warm fabrics like faux fur or wool, tend to collect dust, dirt and moisture. Proper cleaning not only improves hygiene, but also prevents bad odors and premature wear.
2. Alternative cleaning tools
- A soft kitchen sponge
- An old towel
- Neutral soap or mild shampoo
- A used toothbrush
- A hair dryer for quick drying (optional)
3. Simplified cleaning step by step
-
Step 1: Remove surface dirt
Alternative method: Use a dry towel to gently rub the surface of the slippers to remove any visible dust or dirt. For any stains, use a toothbrush in light circular motions.
-
Step 2: Wash with soap and water
Prepare a mixture of warm water and a small amount of shampoo or neutral soap. Dip the sponge in the mixture, squeeze it well and gently clean the dirty areas. Avoid excessively wetting the slippers to avoid damaging the materials.
-
Step 3: Light rinse
Use a well-wrung damp cloth to remove soap residue from the surface. This step is essential to prevent the soap from hardening the fabrics.
-
Step 4: Quick and safe drying
Gently pat the slippers with a dry towel to remove excess water. If you are in a hurry, use a hair dryer on low heat to speed up drying, keeping an adequate distance to avoid damaging the materials.
4. Regular maintenance with few tools
- Weekly Cleaning: Wipe with a dry towel to remove dust and debris.
- Avoid moisture: Store your slippers in a dry place when not in use, perhaps adding a silica gel bag to absorb moisture.
- Air regularly: Expose your slippers to the open air (not direct sunlight) to prevent bad odors.
