Good to know. </p> <p>If one wears orthotic insoles that are smooth and not porous, rubbing alcohol works well for cleaning. A quick wipe and they are fresh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washed-the-ecco%e2%80%99s#post-2339110 Thu, 21 Sep 2023 15:36:02 +0000 Anonymous 2339110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for letting us know that this worked so well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washed-the-ecco%e2%80%99s#post-2339104 Thu, 21 Sep 2023 14:19:54 +0000 cat2 2339104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that was a bold choice. Glad it worked out. I don’t think I have ever attempted to wash leather, but my husband accidentally washed a pair of his leather gloves and they survived. We have a leather jacket of his that has grubby sleeves and our dry cleaners stopped taking leather. Any suggestions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washed-the-ecco%e2%80%99s#post-2339102 Thu, 21 Sep 2023 13:55:15 +0000 SarahD8 2339102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! Gosh it is so satisfying when clothing *maintenance* is a success, isn't it?</p> <p>Nodding along with Joyce's son and his ideas about cows. This is my rationale for putting my cashmere in the washing machine. It comes from goats, people! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washed-the-ecco%e2%80%99s#post-2339100 Thu, 21 Sep 2023 12:38:41 +0000 RobinF 2339100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, very nice! I have done that with canvas shoes but not leather. Good to know.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washed-the-ecco%e2%80%99s#post-2339077 Thu, 21 Sep 2023 05:20:10 +0000 slim cat 2339077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great results! I finally bought thew special spray from ECCO for cleaning - will try it this season ( it suppose to be only for regular wear with dirt/marks - not for old and almost damaged shoes ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washed-the-ecco%e2%80%99s#post-2339076 Thu, 21 Sep 2023 05:08:35 +0000 Indigoprint 2339076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the update! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washed-the-ecco%e2%80%99s#post-2339071 Thu, 21 Sep 2023 03:51:39 +0000 Suz 2339071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's really great to know!

I have heard you can machine wash bags too, but have never tried it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washed-the-ecco%e2%80%99s#post-2339047 Wed, 20 Sep 2023 22:10:22 +0000 Angie 2339047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad it worked out! Did you remove the inner soles?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washed-the-ecco%e2%80%99s#post-2339044 Wed, 20 Sep 2023 21:32:28 +0000 Joyce 2339044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My son always maintained that cows are out in the rain and mud so why can't the leather from them be washed. He threw Prada suede loafers into the wash and they too, came out like new. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washed-the-ecco%e2%80%99s#post-2339043 Wed, 20 Sep 2023 21:23:09 +0000 Helena 2339043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh that was brave! Great to know ... my white ones need a clean-up. Thanks! This is a great colour ... perfect to bookend your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/washed-the-ecco%e2%80%99s#post-2339038 Wed, 20 Sep 2023 21:08:03 +0000 Carla 2339038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore the very light honey beige Ecco’s for a couple of days dusty and dirty gardening. &nbsp;Wiping them down didn’t get them as clean as I wanted, so I threw them in the wash with a load of towels. &nbsp;It was a big load so selected ‘warm’ normal cotton wash heavy cycle. &nbsp;I let them dry in the sun afterwards and they look brand new. &nbsp;The water&nbsp;<i>did not&nbsp;</i>darken the leather nor weaken any of the structure. &nbsp;Except for expected wear marks on the bottom, they look like they just came out of the box! </p>
