Can slippers go in the dryer? What if my slippers smell? You can sprinkle some foot powder or baking soda in the slippers to neutralize the smell. Make sure to vacuum afterward or you'll leave some white footprints on the floor. The dryer sheet trick. Pack a couple dryer sheets in the slippers and in a few hours you'll get that fresh clean scent.
For a deeper clean, dampen the inside of the slippers with a wet cloth and mild detergent. Do your best to get to the hard to reach areas too. Then use another damp cloth with just water to swab out any of the excess detergent.
Use a paper towel or dry cloth to absorb the remaining wetness. Once you're done, stuff the shoe with paper towels to help dry them out fully.
Leave them overnight. Should you wear socks with slippers? Fabric slippers can also be hand-washed in a sink in warm water with about one teaspoon of a heavy-duty detergent.
Add the slippers to the soapy water and allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes to lift the soil. Gently squeeze the solution through the slippers and then drain away the soapy water.
Fill the sink with fresh water and rinse the slippers until no more soap bubbles appear. Gently press out excess water. Roll the slippers in a thick towel to help absorb water. Whether machine or hand washed, all slippers should be allowed to air-dry. Reshape the slippers and place them in a well-ventilated space to dry.
If you are concerned about them holding their shape, stuff the slippers lightly with paper towels or white tissue paper. Don't use newspaper because it can leave ink stains on your slippers. Change the paper frequently as the slippers dry. Never place slippers in an automatic dryer. The high heat can cause the soles to become distorted and any glues used in construction to dissolve. Suede slippers like those from Deckers X Lab are made from leather hides and must be spot cleaned to maintain the finish.
Diligently work on the inside of slippers because when they become moist, bacteria begin to grow, which is the reason your slippers have that lingering odor. Use a suede brush or a soft cloth to remove loose soil from the surface of the suede. Treat grease stains by sprinkling them with cornstarch to absorb the grease. This is most effective if done as soon as stains happen. Allow the cornstarch to sit on the stains for several hours and then brush away. Repeat until no more grease is absorbed.
Use a commercial suede cleaner to treat heavy soil and stains following the product instructions. It works so well!! Usually the fluff stay matted from where my foot pressed it down, even after coming out of the washing machine and dryer, but this worked so well! Thanks for the tip! This worked great on my Vionics. They look so clean and fluffy! Thanks so much! I was searching online on how to clean my walmart slippers that are fuzzy inside. Now, my walmart slippers are by no means anything special or fancy…but I go through 4 pairs of slippers a year, easily.
I usually just throw them away and get new ones when they get flat and stinky. But, with the pandemic, we are tight on money. Now, my slippers were gross. I wore them all through the summer…so they were really stinky. I tried this…and it worked wonders. It by no means got all the smell out…but they smell a thousand times better. Thank you so much!!! I wear them all day during the winter and I know what you mean!
Washing them this way will definitely help them last longer. Thanks for this post! I got the cutest slippers after Christmas on sale and I am not ever going to give them up if I can help it! Thanks again! While most people instinctively put on their slippers while they are barefoot, the fact of the matter is that this can lead to more foot sweat and no protector for absorbing that sweat, so it goes directly into the shoe, leading to smelly slippers.
Instead, wear your slippers with socks to help absorb foot sweat and keep your slippers from retaining the damage. If you want, you can even purchase your slippers a half size larger than your actual size and wear them with large, cozy socks. Hi, I am Chelsey!
