Care Instructions for Grey Canvas
Maintaining your canvas Polden Moc shoes requires a gentle approach to preserve their appearance and integrity.
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt or dust with a soft brush (like a toothbrush) after each wear.
- Spot Cleaning: For stains, mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap or laundry detergent) with cool water. Dip a clean cloth or soft brush into the solution and gently scrub the stained area in circular motions. Avoid saturating the canvas.
- Rinsing: Use a clean, damp cloth (with plain water) to wipe away any soap residue.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the canvas. Stuff the shoes with paper towels or newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Footbed Care: The removable Contour Cushion footbed can be removed and aired out periodically to prevent odor. If needed, gently wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap solution, then air dry completely before reinserting.
- Protection: Consider using a fabric protectant spray designed for canvas to help repel water and stains, following the product's instructions.
