Cleaning Leather REEF Sandals

Most of their shoes are made from synthetic materials, however, they do have some that are made from leather. For those, you’ll want to wash them differently.

First and foremost, you never want to put them in the washing machine. The leather is delicate and can easily be damaged by the heat.

Instead, you want to wash them by hand. While you can use ACTIVE Detergent, it’s probably best to use a saddle soap or a leather conditioner.

Supplies:

Leather conditioner
Clean cloth
Damp cloth

Never use water to clean leather sandals – it will permanently damage the material.

Let’s face it—your REEF sandals are probably going to get stinky after a while. Here are a few easy ways to deodorize them:

Eliminating Odors With Baking Soda

Baking soda is super versatile and can be used to eliminate odors.

Simply sprinkle the powder onto the material and leave it on overnight.

The next morning, dump the powder. Rinse it with water if you have to. You’ll be surprised at the difference!

Eliminating Odor With Vinegar

Vinegar, or more specifically white vinegar, is also great for odors. To use it, dampen a sponge or cloth with the vinegar and use it to wipe the sandal. The vinegar scent will be gone as soon as they’re dry.
