Knitted scarves should follow our directions in Knitwear. Silk scarves should follow our directions in Silk. For cotton, linen, polyester, or blends, follow our Handwashing Basics below:

Handwashing Basics:

• Fill basin with tepid water (room temperature water, not hot and not cold).
• Add Eucalan to basin.
• Insert article to be washed and soak for 15 min. (minimum).
• Squeeze article gently to incorporate water and soap through fibres.
• No need to rinse.
• Pull article out of water and gently squeeze out excess water. Do not twist or ring.
• Follow drying instructions below.

Drying:

• Important: Dry all items out of direct heat and sunlight.
• Lay knit articles flat on clean dry towel. Roll article in towel to remove excess moisture. Lay flat to dry on drying rack or clean dry towel.

Leather:

Leathers and faux leathers are often dyed, which can bleed onto other areas of a shoe if you are not careful. 

• Dampen clean cloth. Add Eucalan to the cloth.
• Wipe cloth on leather. Be cautious not to wet other pieces of the shoe that are not leather to avoid any colour bleeding.
• Use a clean, dry cloth to dry afterwards.

Fabric:

Fabric shoes get dirty easily. You may find online suggestions to toss your fabric shoes in the washer, but this can actually be a bad idea. Washing cycles can be aggressive and the force of the tumbler can warp or tear at the shoe. Instead, prolong your shoes’ lifespan by hand washing them with just some Eucalan, warm water, an old toothbrush, and paper towels.

• Brush off excess dirt with a dry paper towel.
• In a small bowl, mix one teaspoon of Eucalan into two cups of warm water and give it a stir.
• Working on a small section at a time, dip a toothbrush into the Eucalan solution and lightly scrub the fabric. Do not over-wet the fabric. Work with the grain of the fabric, moving all around the shoe to keep the color consistent and prevent spotting.
• Remove any residue with a clean, wet paper towel.
• Blot the fabric with a dry paper towel and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat and sunlight. To help some shoes hold their shape, stuff dry paper towels into the toes or heels until the shoe is completely dry.

Natural fibres require a bit more work to maintain. Clean these separately from the rest of the shoe.

• Brush off excess dirt with a dry paper towel.
• In a small bowl, mix one teaspoon of Eucalan into two cups of warm water and give it a stir. 
• Working on a small section at a time, dip a toothbrush into the Eucalan solution and lightly brush at the fabric.
  • For rope soles, work in only one direction to keep the rope from fraying.
• Remove any residue with a clean, wet paper towel. 
• Air dry.
