One obvious thing you can do is keep your feet clean. Dirty feet = dirty sandals. Also remember that putting lotion on your feet or if your feet sweat a lot, they can attract dust and dirt.

Here are some useful tips that others have had success with over the years.
- Leave your sandals out in the sun for a bit. Nothing like the clean fresh air and what some say is the natural cleansing your sandals will get from the sun.
- Take two socks and fill them with baking soda and tie the ends. When you store the sandals put the baking soda filled socks in the sandals and the baking soda will absorb any odors and moisture.
- Check with your local shoe store for disinfectants and cleaners that can be properly used on the type of material your sandal is made with.
- Some folks have suggested the saddle soap can clean leather sandals.
- Using a lightly dampened cloth, gently wipe the sandals inside and out.
We hope these tips will help your keep your Brand Name Sandals clean and in great shape for years to come.
