Canvas is an extremely durable fabric made from flax, and there is no reason why your latest canvas shoes cannot accompany you for many years. Learning how to care for your canvas shoes will prolong the life and keep them looking fresher and more durable.
Protection
To begin with, make sure to safeguard your canvas footwear! Given that canvas is inherently porous, it’s essential to apply a waterproofing agent prior to wearing them. Our eco-friendly fabric guard spray is ideal for canvas shoes (and compatible with the majority of other shoe styles and garments). It preserves the original look, texture, and scent of your footwear. This waterproofing treatment plays a vital role in extending the lifespan of your shoes. Therefore, these canvas shoes prevent damage to your outfit when commuting in rainy weather. Additionally, our fabric protector offers the extra advantage of repelling stubborn stains and liquid marks.
Cleaning
Just like most items, a little care now and then can take them further. If your canvas shoes look like they need some extra love, take a few minutes to give them a new lease on life.
1.Remove any excess dust or dirt
2.Rinse the shoes with warm water
3.Use a toothbrush and your chosen cleaning solution (baking soda and water, or a gentle eco-friendly detergent) to gently scrub the shoes
4.Rinse and remove any excess water
5.Fill the shoes with paper towels to absorb excess moisture and allow them to air dry naturally
Remember to throw the shoelaces in with your next laundry load!
Our eco-friendly fabric protectant will continue to work for up to 30 washes, so there is no need to reapply a layer of waterproof spray after each wash.
Storage
We all know the feeling after standing for a long time and the instinct to take off our shoes and put them by the door. Your shoes, like you, also desire a home, so after each wear, give them a proper place to rest and accompany them back there.
With these tips, you can successfully prolong the life of your canvas shoes and enjoy their company for many years to come.
