How to clean my Bearpaw boots, clogs, and slippers
-
Brush Away Dirt:
Start by gently brushing off any loose dirt or debris with a soft suede brush or clean cloth. This helps prevent rubbing dirt deeper into the material. -
Apply Cleaner & Conditioner:
Lightly dampen the surface of your boots with water, then spray the Bearpaw Cleaner & Conditioner evenly. Using a clean cloth or sponge, work the solution into the material using gentle circular motions. Don’t soak the boots, just dampen enough to lift dirt and refresh the fibers. -
Rinse & Dry:
Wipe away any excess cleaner with a damp cloth and allow your boots to air dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. This step can take up to 24 hours, but is key to preserving the soft texture of the suede or sheepskin. -
Restore the Nap:
Once dry, gently brush your boots again with a suede brush to restore their original texture and softness. -
Protect for the Future:
Finish by applying the Bearpaw Water & Stain Repellent to create a protective barrier against the elements. For an added touch of freshness, use the Bearpaw Freshener inside your boots or clogs to keep them smelling clean and new.

Can you machine wash your Bearpaw boots, clogs and slippers?
