The Slipper Care Handbook: 5 Simple Tips to Make Your Favorite Pair Last for Years

A high-quality pair of slippers is more than a comfort essential—it is an investment in daily well-being. With the right care, your favorite pair can stay comfortable, fresh, and supportive for years. Here is how to extend their lifespan while protecting their look and feel.

1. Know Your Material: Clean the Right Way
Different fabrics require different care methods:

• Machine-washable fabrics (cotton, some synthetics): Use a gentle cycle with cold water and always air-dry.
• Suede or nubuck: Avoid water. Use a suede brush or a dedicated suede cleaner to lift dirt without damaging texture.
• Leather: Stick to spot-cleaning with a soft, damp cloth and finish with a leather conditioner to preserve softness.
• Sheepskin or wool: Use mild detergent and hand-wash. Never wring—press gently and allow them to dry naturally.

2. Air Them Out Regularly
Moisture buildup leads to odor and material fatigue. After daily wear, give your slippers a few hours to breathe. If possible, leave them in a dry, well-ventilated area—never near a heater, as it may warp the material.

3. Use a Protective Spray
For suede, leather, and sheepskin, a quality protective spray can guard against stains, moisture, and everyday wear. Reapply every few months to maintain long-term durability.

4. Rotate When Possible
If you wear slippers all day, consider alternating between two pairs. This helps reduce stress on the material, allows each pair to dry fully, and keeps them feeling fresh longer.

5. Know When It’s Time to Replace Them
Even the best slippers eventually lose support. If you notice thinning soles, flattening cushioning, or a persistent odor, it may be time for an upgrade. This ensures continued comfort, hygiene, and proper foot support.
