Why Use the Birkenstock Cleaning Kit?
Using the Birkenstock Cleaning Kit provides several benefits that your Birkenstock shoes wouldn’t otherwise receive. Since the cleaners are specially formulated for Birkenstock materials, they effectively preserve the quality of the suede, cork, and leather. One of the biggest issues with Birkenstock shoes is the potential cracking of the cork soles, but the kit’s cork sealer helps prevent this, ultimately extending the shoe’s longevity.
In short, regular use of a Birkenstock Cleaning Kit will keep your Birkenstocks looking fresh and maintain their appearance, comfort, and support.
Benefits of Using the Birkenstock Cleaning Kit Regularly
Extends Life: Regular cleaning prevents the cork from cracking and keeps the footbed comfortable, helping your shoes last longer.
Improved Appearance: The kit helps keep the footbed fresh and gives the leather a renewed look with a clean, always-fresh appearance.
Better Feel and Comfort: A clean footbed eliminates odors and enhances comfort, improving your overall experience with your Birkenstocks.
What is included in the Birkenstock Cleaning Kit?
Birkenstock cleaning kits typically include a suede and nubuck cleaner, a cork sealant, a cleaning brush, and a leather conditioner.
How often should I use the Birkenstock Cleaning Kit?
It depends on how often you wear your Birkenstocks. If you are a regular wearer, clean your shoes every week to keep them fresh. If you wear them occasionally, you can clean them once a month.
Can I use the kit on all types of Birkenstocks?
Yes, the cleaning kit is safe for most Birkenstock materials, including suede, nubuck, cork, and leather. However, we advise testing a small area of the shoe first before using it on the rest. If there are no issues, you can proceed.
How does the kit’s cork sealant work?
Cork sealant forms a protective layer on the cork sole, preventing it from cracking. This is essential to keep the cork durable and comfortable.
Do I need to condition the leather on my Birkenstocks?
If your Birkenstocks have leather material, conditioning will help keep the leather soft and crack-free. Use less conditioner, as it can make the leather sticky.
Can I clean the footbed with the kit?
Yes, the suede and nubuck cleaner and brush are specially designed for footbeds, helping to remove dirt and oil from the footbed.
Should I wash off the cleaner after using it?
No, after applying the cleaner and scrubbing, wipe off any excess with a damp cloth instead of rinsing, and allow it to dry.
Can I use the cleaning kit on other shoe brands?
Although the kit is designed specifically for Birkenstocks, results may vary depending on the material and construction of the other shoe brands.
