The essential guide to cleaning glitter boots to preserve their incomparable shine.
Glitter boots, with their sparkle and shimmering texture, will enhance any outfit. But their distinctive beauty comes with a challenge: keeping them clean without damaging their delicate glitter. We've provided you with a guide to keeping your boots sparkling and clean from dust and moisture, without spoiling them, so you can keep them for a very long time.
Step 1: Gently remove dust
Equipment required:
Soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth
Method: Gently remove any dirt or dust from the surface of the boots with a soft bristle brush or microfiber cloth. Always brush in the direction of the flakes to avoid snagging or turning them over. This step is essential to remove surface dirt that could scratch the sequins during cleaning.
Step 2: Cleaning
Materials required:
Mild soap (liquid)
Water
Clean, soft cloth
Method: Prepare a mild soap solution using water and a few drops of mild liquid soap. Moisten your soft cloth with this solution and gently dab the stains onto the glitter. Avoid rubbing too hard, as this may dislodge or damage the glitter. For more stubborn stains, you may need to repeat the operation several times. Always test the soap solution on a small, inconspicuous area to make sure it doesn't affect the color of the sequins.
Step 3: Drying
Equipment required:
Soft, dry towel
Method: Gently pat wet areas with the towel to absorb excess moisture and leave boots to air dry, away from heat or direct sunlight, which could discolor or damage the sequins.
Step 4: Odour treatment
Materials required:
Baking soda
Method: If your glitter boots develop a bad smell, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside each one. Leave overnight, then gently shake out the baking soda, making sure it doesn't come into contact with the glitter, which could be damaged by its abrasive nature.
Additional tips:
Storage: Good storage is recommended to ensure the longevity of your boots by using a boot form or padding them with tissue paper to retain their shape, for example.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or those containing bleach on sequin boots, as they can discolor the color and damage the sequin.
Professional cleaning: In the event of serious or persistent stains, we recommend that you entrust your boots to a professional who will be able to restore them properly without altering the glitter.
For The Conclusion
Sequin boots are a piece of clothing that require careful maintenance to keep them looking their best. By following these care steps for gentle dusting, spot cleaning, drying and odor management, you can ensure that your boots will remain dazzling for seasons to come, allowing you to step out in style and confidence every time
