NVR - Washing Crocs

[closeyoureyestosee]

Does anyone else have/love/adore Crocs?  I have the Athens flip flops, have probably had them for a year and they're still in great condition.  But DIRTY!  I take them into the shower with me and scrub them with soap but I can't seem to get them clean.  Anyone have any secrets?

I'm glad you brought this up, I have a pair of white/pink flip flop crocs and also cannot get them clean. 

they're so ugly, yet so comfy.

I used to have a pair of white flip flops. The only way I could get them clean was bleach and a scrub brush

Does the bleach turn them yellow-ish?  That is my fear with bleach.

i don't have crocs, but you should try baking soda. because it is a miracle.

Yes.  Isn't that true with most ugly things?  Sigh.

Good idea, I'll give that a try.  Need to find a scrubbing implement that's NOT my toothbrush though!

Cool.  I'll try that in the a.m.  Thanks!

You should just go buy a cheap-o toothbrush. They are awesome for cleaning shoes.

I love my Crocs too. I have a pair of the Beach model in navy and the Cleo model in aqua. Both pairs are so so comfy. I try to clean mine before they get too gross and really don't know the best method. A word of caution about the dishwasher: online I read that if they go through the drying cycle they shrink so much they will never fit you.

I used baking soda.  It helped quite a bit.  I'm guessing if they weren't white and I'd been scrubbing them all along, it would be great. 
thanks Hannah!

i just wanna know how you guys could stand those things, i mean,i have the weirdest taste in things but i still don't understand how those things could be in vogue

Different weird things appeal to the different weird tastes of different weird people.    Consider Ugg boots and even Birkinstocks. Personally, I find spiked heels weird. Different strokes for different folks, as they say.

It's all about comfort, really, as I said before, they're quite ugly in my book.

Agreed, they are the only flip flops that don't make my back hurt after a while.  In Florida I pretty much wear flip flops exclusively.  I know they're crazy ugly, but they're comfortable and intelligently designed.  And they last forever!
