Keep your Men's OOriginal PLUS Sandal looking and feeling great with this easy cleaning routine. Learn the simple steps to maintain comfort and extend the life of your recovery footwear.
Quick answer
Clean your Men's OOriginal PLUS Sandal with mild soap, cool water, and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing to preserve the recovery foam.
Why gentle cleaning matters
The OOriginal PLUS uses OOFOS' proprietary closed-cell foam that absorbs impact and supports recovery. Harsh detergents, bleach, or hot water can break down the foam, reducing its cushioning and recovery benefits.
Regular, gentle cleaning removes sweat, dirt, and odor without damaging the material. This keeps the sandal comfortable and supportive for longer.
How to clean your Men's OOriginal PLUS Sandal
- Step 1: Prepare your cleaning solution: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap or a gentle laundry detergent with cool water in a small bowl. Avoid hot water, which can warp the foam. Don't use bleach, fabric softener, or harsh cleaners.
- Step 2: Spot clean the straps and footbed: Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the soapy water, wring it out well, and gently wipe the straps and footbed. For stubborn dirt, let the solution sit for a minute before wiping. Avoid scrubbing aggressively; the foam is soft and can be damaged.
- Step 3: Rinse with cool water: Dampen a clean cloth with cool water and wipe away all soap residue from the sandal. Leftover soap can attract dirt and cause irritation. Do not submerge the sandals or run them under a faucet.
- Step 4: Air dry completely: Place the sandals in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, radiators, or dryers. Let them dry naturally for 12–24 hours before wearing. Heat can shrink or deform the foam. Patience is key.
