How to Care For Your Birkenstocks (Updated 2025 Guide) If you’ve ever Googled “how to care for your Birkenstocks,” “how to clean Birkenstocks,” “how to clean the footbed of Birkenstocks,” “how to clean suede Birkenstocks at home,” or “how to make Birkenstocks not smell,” this updated 2025 Birkenstock care guide covers it all. Back in 2016, a friend in Colorado asked me if Birkenstocks got smelly like Keens. She had just spent hours scrubbing Keens after a family hike and wanted to know whether Birkenstock care was just as intense. Spoiler: Birkenstocks do not get smelly if you care for them properly, and they are much easier to clean than Keens. Birkenstocks are some of the simplest shoes to maintain, and with basic upkeep your sandals or clogs can last years. My first pair lasted over a decade because I cleaned the footbeds, protected the cork, and took care of the uppers. In this updated guide, you’ll learn:

Birkenstock Maintenance: Complete Guide to Cleaning Footbeds, Cork & Uppers
Why Proper Birkenstock Care Matters (Heat, Moisture, and Everyday Wear)Proper Birkenstock care starts with understanding what actually causes damage. Extreme heat, rapid drying, and long exposure to moisture are the biggest reasons Birkenstock cork dries out, footbeds warp, and straps weaken. Birkenstocks are durable and easy to maintain, but they do require basic protection from heat and the elements to stay comfortable for years. One of the simplest ways to protect your Birkenstocks is to avoid extreme heat. Do not leave your Birkenstocks in your car. Do not put them near a fire or heater to dry. If your shoes become wet, let them slowly air dry away from direct heat. This helps preserve the cork, glue, and footbed shape. If you're new to Birkenstocks, my Top 10 Tips for New Birkenstock Wearers and Top 10 Birkenstock Mistakes guides pair perfectly with this care tutorial. What You Need to Clean and Care for Your BirkenstocksBirkenstock sells a complete cleaning kit that includes a suede brush, water and stain repellent, cork sealer, and a cleaner/refresher. It’s a convenient option if you want everything in one place for $21.95. Birkenstock Deluxe Shoe Care Kit 2025  The 2025 Birkenstock Deluxe Shoe Care Kit includes everything you need to clean, protect, and refresh your sandals and clogs. This complete set features the Cleaner & Refresher, Water & Stain Repellent, Cork Sealer, and a suede and nubuck brush to help extend the life of your Birkenstocks. But you don’t need the official kit to clean your Birkenstocks at home. I already had most of the items in my own shoe care toolbox, so I chose not to purchase the Birkenstock kit. TOOLS YOU NEED TO CLEAN AND CARE FOR YOUR BIRKENSTOCKS • Suede brush • Beeswax for oiled leather boots • Suede stain eraser • Camp Dry or another water and stain repellent • Nubuck cleaner • Leather conditioner Gina Mama’s Birkenstock Cleaning Toolbox  My personal Birkenstock care toolbox includes the products I use to clean, protect, and condition all of my sandals and clogs. From water repellent to leather conditioner and Kelly’s Cork Renew, these simple tools help keep Birkenstocks looking great and lasting for years. The only product I had to buy specifically for my Birkenstocks was Kelly’s Cork Renew, which I use to reseal and protect the exposed cork. How to apply cork sealer is one of the most common questions I receive from readers searching for how to reseal Birkenstock cork and how to fix dry or cracked cork footbeds. In the YouTube Short video below, I walk you through exactly how to apply Kelly’s Cork Renew to protect your Birkenstock cork and prevent cracks. This method works for all Birkenstock sandals and clogs with exposed cork. Birkenstock Care 101: How to Use Cork Renew to Prevent CracksIf you’re dealing with dry, dull, or cracking cork, I have a full guide that explains why Birkenstock cork cracks in the first place and exactly how to fix it step-by-step. You can read it here: Cracked Cork in Birkenstocks — Why It Happens, How to Fix It, and How to Prevent It For Years of Comfort. I also tested two of the most popular cork sealants side by side—Kelly’s Cork Renew and the official Birkenstock Cork Sealer—to see which one protects better and lasts longer. If you’re curious about the results, you can read that comparison here: Birkenstock Cork Sealer vs Kelly’s Cork Renew — Applicator, Dry Time & Finish Compared. Both guides will help you understand how to maintain, repair, and protect your Birkenstock cork so your sandals last for years. Which Cork Sealer Works Better for Birkenstocks — Kelly’s or Birkenstock Brand?If you’re trying to decide whether Kelly’s Cork Renew or the official Birkenstock Cork Sealer is better for protecting your sandals, this YouTube video breaks down the key differences between the two products. I compare how each sealer applies, how well they protect exposed cork, and which one lasts longer on real Birkenstocks. If you want to prevent cracking and keep your cork footbeds sealed and healthy, this side-by-side comparison will help you choose the best option. How to Clean White Soles on Birkenstocks (Simple, Safe Method)How to Clean White Birkenstock Soles (Quick & Easy Method)White Birkenstock soles look amazing when they’re new… and instantly show every scuff, dust mark, and dirt stain. The good news? You don’t need harsh chemicals or a big cleaning routine to keep them looking fresh. Here’s the simplest, Birkenstock-safe way to clean white soles: 1. Wipe down the soles with a baby wipe A baby wipe is gentle enough for the EVA bottom and lifts surface dirt fast. Perfect for weekly touch-ups or when you notice the soles starting to gray. 2. For deeper cleaning, use a damp (not soaked!) paper towel + a drop of Dawn dish soap • Lightly dampen a paper towel • Add one small drop of Dawn • Wipe along the white edges and bottom • Rinse with a fresh damp paper towel • Air-dry completely This breaks down grime without saturating the midsole or weakening the cork. 3. Expect “clean but not perfect” Even with proper cleaning, white soles naturally hold onto stains — especially if you walk on sidewalks, dirt paths, grass, or gravel. They can look clean but still show light discoloration. That’s normal for all white shoe soles, including Birkenstocks. If you want a visual walkthrough, watch my cleaning demo here: 👉 YouTube Video: How to Clean White Birkenstock Soles Want more tips? Here’s the full blog post with extra before/after photos: 👉 How to Clean White Sole Birkenstocks | Shoe Care & Cleaning Tips How to Clean White Birkenstock Soles (Video Tutorial)Keeping the white soles of your Birkenstocks looking bright can be tricky — they attract dirt fast and often look stained even after a basic wipe-down. In this quick video tutorial, I show you exactly how to clean white soles using simple at-home products like baby wipes, a damp paper towel, and a tiny drop of Dawn dish soap. If you want brighter, fresher-looking soles without damaging the midsole or cork, this video walks you through the safest, easiest method.

How to Clean Birkenstock Uppers (Leather, Suede, Nubuck, Felt, EVA, PU & More)With your Birkenstock soles looking brighter and the white soles wiped down properly, the next step is caring for the uppers. Every material — leather, suede, nubuck, EVA, PU, and vegan options — needs a different cleaning routine, so let’s dive into each one. Some of the most common things people ask are:
If you want deep-dive tutorials, real-life wear tests, and visual examples, check out these updated guides: Leather Birkenstocks (Smooth Leather) Best for: Arizona, Madrid, Milano, and many classic styles Smooth leather is durable, easy to wipe clean, and loves moisture-rich conditioning. How to clean leather uppers:
Smooth Leather Arizona Birkenstocks in South Texas  Relaxing by the water in my smooth leather Arizona Birkenstocks — the easiest uppers to clean and condition. A quick wipe with a damp cloth and a touch of leather balm keeps them looking rich, smooth, and perfectly broken-in. Oiled Leather Birkenstocks Best for: Boston Oiled Leather, Arizona Oiled Leather Oiled leather is naturally moisture-resistant and develops a gorgeous patina. How to clean oiled leather:
Oiled Leather Zinfandel Boston Birkenstocks  Rich, deep Zinfandel-red oiled leather Boston Birkenstocks — naturally moisture-resistant, buttery soft, and developing a gorgeous patina with every wear. These oiled leather clogs are easy to maintain: just wipe clean, condition lightly with beeswax or leather lotion, and buff back to life. A perfect example of how stunning oiled leather gets with age, wear, and proper Birkenstock care. Nubuck Birkenstocks Nubuck is softer than smooth leather but easier to mark, so protection is key. How to clean nubuck:
Nubuck Birkenstocks Protected with Kiwi Camp Dry  My red nubuck Arizonas after a fresh spray of Kiwi Camp Dry. Nubuck needs regular water-and-stain protection to prevent marks and keep the color looking fresh. Suede Birkenstocks How to clean suede uppers:
Suede Birkenstock Bostons: Travel-Day Comfort in Taupe, Velvet Black & Gray Braided Suede  Three pairs of cozy suede Birkenstock Bostons — taupe suede, velvet black suede, and gray suede braided — keeping our feet happy and supported during a long travel day at the Houston airport. Suede Birkenstocks are soft, plush, and perfect for all-day wear when you treat them right with the proper suede care routine. How to Protect Suede Birkenstocks (Water & Stain Repellent Guide)Suede Birkenstocks stay softer, cleaner, and easier to maintain when you protect them before you wear them. Most people jump straight into brushing and spot-cleaning, but the real secret to long-lasting, velvety suede is a regular routine of water- and stain-repellent spray. This simple step prevents the deep stains, water marks, dust absorption, and denim transfer that make suede look tired long before its time — and it makes future cleaning dramatically easier. Birkenstock does sell their own Water & Stain Repellent (a non-aerosol spray) in the Deluxe Shoe Care Kit, and it works well for both suede and leather. But personally, I prefer Kiwi Suede Protector because it gives stronger, longer-lasting protection and is easy to reapply. Important: Always spray suede protector in a well-ventilated area — I choose to do this outside. How to protect suede Birkenstocks:
A good suede protector creates an invisible barrier, helping your Birkenstocks resist dirt, stains, and darkening so they stay brighter and cleaner with far less effort. Protect first — then clean — and your suede will look beautiful for years. 👉 Watch my quick video on how to protect suede Birkenstocks: How to Protect Your Suede Birkenstocks and keep them looking clean and soft for years - complete DIY If your suede Birkenstocks already have marks or stains, follow my full suede cleaning routine in the How to Clean Suede Birkenstocks section above. 👉 Like this Short?

How to Clean Birkenstock Footbeds (Suede, Leather & EVA Footbeds Explained)Now that your uppers and soles are clean, let’s dive into the questions I’m asked most often:
Birkenstock footbeds are made from suede, jute, latex, and cork — all natural materials that absorb oils, lotion, sunscreen, and sweat. Over time, this creates the darkened footprint you see on most well-loved Birks. The good news? You can clean the footbed at home with simple products you already have. If you're curious about how different footbeds affect comfort and cleaning, read Birkenstocks: Original vs Soft vs Shearling Lined Footbed. Below my videos show two safe, effective, and Birkenstock-friendly cleaning methods I personally use depending on how dirty the footbeds are. 1. Light Cleaning (Best for Routine Maintenance) — The Dish Soap Method For regular dirt, mild discoloration, or fresh stains, a little dish soap goes a long way. In the YouTube video, I show you exactly:
How to Clean Your Birkenstock Footbeds with Dish Soap and Water2. Deep Cleaning (Best for Heavy Stains or Odor) — The Borax Method If your Birkenstocks have deep dark footprints, stubborn grime, or smell like… summer, this is the method that truly resets them. In my Borax video, I walk you through:

How Often Should You Clean & Maintain Your Birkenstocks?Caring for your Birkenstocks is refreshingly simple — and you definitely don’t need to scrub them every weekend. For most people, a light cleaning 1–2 times per year is plenty, unless you’re wearing them in unusually dusty, muddy, or wet conditions. I’ve worn my Birkenstocks on spontaneous day hikes, at kids’ soccer games, on beach trips, and during marathon travel days. Even when they get coated in dust, a quick wipe with a damp towel usually brings them right back. And remember: Birkenstocks are fully repairable. This is one of the biggest differences between Birkenstocks and other “comfort brands.” If the cork dries out, the footbed cracks, or the soles wear down, an authorized Birkenstock cobbler can bring them back to life. With proper care and the occasional repair, your Birkenstocks can easily last a decade or longer. Birkenstock has an official directory where you can find authorized repair shops near you — and I highly recommend using a pro if anything happens to your favorite pair. If you’re curious what Birkenstock repairs actually look like, I’ve documented several transformations on my blog:
Now that you know how simple Birkenstock care really is, maybe even my friend — the one who once spent HOURS scrubbing her Keens — will finally give Birks a real chance. UPDATE: She did. She’s officially a Birkenstock lover now! You can read her full story in her guest post: 👉 The Gift of Gizeh: Birkenstock Gizeh Review & Break-In (Guest Post) FAQ: Caring for Your Birkenstocks (2025 Guide)These are the most common Birkenstock care questions readers ask me — from how to clean footbeds to how to fix cork, remove odor, and maintain every material (leather, suede, nubuck, EVA, PU, Birko-Flor, and more).
How do you clean Birkenstocks? Most Birkenstocks can be cleaned with a soft brush, mild soap, and water — depending on the material. For footbeds, use a gentle dish-soap mixture or a Borax paste for deep cleaning. How do I clean the footbed of my Birkenstocks? Footbeds can be cleaned with:
How do you clean dirty Birkenstock footbeds? “Dirty Birkenstock footbed” searches usually want the Borax method:
How do you remove odor from Birkenstocks? Use Borax paste to eliminate smell and bacteria. It neutralizes odor better than traditional cleaners and is safe for suede footbeds. How often should I clean my Birkenstocks? Most people only need to clean their Birkenstocks 1–2 times per year, unless exposed to heavy dirt, sweat, or mud. How do you clean suede Birkenstocks? Use:
How do you clean oiled leather Birkenstocks? Wipe with a cloth, apply a thin layer of beeswax, and buff. Oiled leather develops a natural patina and should not be soaked or heavily scrubbed. How do you clean nubuck Birkenstocks? Brush with a nubuck/suede brush, use a stain eraser for marks, then reapply protector spray. How do you clean EVA Birkenstocks? EVA sandals can be washed with mild soap + water. They’re waterproof and pool safe. How do I protect the cork on my Birkenstocks? Use cork sealer (like Kelly’s Cork Renew or the official Birkenstock cork sealer) to keep cork from drying, cracking, or flaking. Reapply when cork looks dull. If you're dealing with cork that’s already drying or cracking, read my full guide: Cracked Cork in Birkenstocks — Why It Happens, How to Fix It, & How to Prevent It For Years of Comfort. If you’re deciding which cork product is best, I also compared both sealers side-by-side here: Birkenstock Cork Sealer vs Kelly’s Cork Renew — Applicator, Dry Time & Finish Compared. How do I clean white Birkenstock soles? Use mild soap, a brush, and warm water. Magic erasers can help lift tough scuffs. How do you clean the inside of Birkenstocks? The “inside” refers to the suede footbed. Use a toothbrush, dish-soap solution, or Borax paste for deep stains. Do Birkenstocks get smelly? Birkenstocks don’t usually smell if maintained correctly. Odor typically comes from sweat, bacteria, or trapped dirt in the suede footbed. Borax paste removes the smell completely. How do you fix cracked Birkenstock cork? Cracked cork needs to be resealed immediately with cork sealer. Severe cracks may require a cobbler who specializes in Birkenstock recrafting. Can Birkenstocks be repaired? Yes — Birkenstocks are fully repairable. You can replace:

With proper cleaning and cork maintenance, Birkenstocks can last 5–10+ years. Recrafting extends life even longer. What products are safe to use on Birkenstocks? Safe options:
How do you clean Birkenstocks without ruining them? Follow material-specific instructions, never soak them, and let them air dry away from heat. What’s the best way to clean Birkenstock footbeds naturally? Borax paste is the most effective natural cleaner for odor and heavy dark footprints. How do you deep clean Birkenstocks? Deep cleaning usually involves the Borax Method, which removes:
Can I wash Birkenstocks in water? EVA sandals — yes. Classic cork footbeds — no, do not submerge them. Do Birkenstocks need to be sealed? Yes. Cork should be sealed when it begins to look dull or dry. Why do Birkenstock footbeds turn black? This is caused by:
Why do my Birkenstocks smell like vinegar / sour / sweat? Odor develops when bacteria build up in the suede footbed. The Borax method completely eliminates this. What’s the difference between Kelly’s Cork Renew and Birkenstock Cork Sealer? Both seal cork, but Kelly’s is easier to control between straps and is a favorite among long-time Birkenstock owners. Each works well — one may suit your cleaning style better. If you want a full side-by-side comparison (applicator, dry time, finish, and real-life results), read my detailed guide: Birkenstock Cork Sealer vs Kelly’s Cork Renew — Applicator, Dry Time & Finish Compared How do I make my Birkenstocks last longer?
Why are my Birkenstocks cracking? Common causes:
For a full step-by-step guide on why cork cracks and how to fix it, read Cracked Cork in Birkenstocks — Why It Happens, How to Fix It, & How to Prevent It For Years of Comfort. What’s the best way to clean Birkenstocks at home? Most people search for:
How do you maintain Birkenstocks so they don’t smell? Keep footbeds brushed, let them fully dry after wear, use Borax as needed, and avoid storing them in humid conditions. How do I clean Birkenstocks that got wet? Let them air dry away from direct sun or heat. Once dry, reseal cork if needed. Do not force-dry with heaters or hairdryers.
