How to Clean the Cork on Your Sandals
Start by making a paste using baking soda and water.
Next, use an old toothbrush to gently scrub the cork soles with the paste.
Let the paste sit for about 10 minutes.
Wipe off the paste with a damp sponge and water.
For extra freshness and to eliminate any unwanted odors, you can add a little natural soap to the water.
Once your Nuos are dry (after about 24 hours), they'll be ready to shine once again, by your side for every summer adventure. Follow these easy tips to keep your sandals in perfect condition and enjoy them for many seasons to come with Nuoceans!
Extra Tips for Taking Care of Your Sandals
Here are a few more essential tips to keep your sandals in great shape over the long term:
- It's important to note that no matter the brand of your sandals, exposing cork to water can damage this naturally sensitive material. Try to avoid water whenever possible.
- Regular cleaning is highly recommended to prevent dirt and dust from building up. Keeping your sandals clean will not only preserve their look but also make cleaning easier and prevent potential permanent damage.
- When cleaning, avoid using a brush that's too hard, which could damage the cork's texture. Instead, opt for a soft brush or a gentle cloth to remove dirt and stains carefully.
- To extend the life of your sandals, avoid exposing them directly to sunlight or intense heat. Prolonged heat exposure can dry out and crack the cork. Always dry your sandals in the shade at room temperature to protect them.
By following these simple but important care tips, you’ll be able to enjoy your favorite sandals for many summers to come.
