Care Instructions for Outback Slippers, Brumby Boots, Quokka Boots, Ossa Slippers/Boots & Thredbo BootsUpdated 2 hours ago

Our footwear is designed for comfort, warmth, and durability. Following these steps will help keep them in top condition for many seasons:

Washing

  • Machine wash on a cool cycle (below 40°C) using your preferred mild detergent.

  • For best results and to protect both your slippers/boots and your washing machine, place them in an old pillowcase before washing.

  • Remove the insoles before washing — clean these separately by hand with mild soap and cool water.

Drying

  • Air dry only — never tumble dry or place directly on heaters, near open flames, or in direct intense sunlight.

  • Dry both the slippers/boots and insoles naturally in a warm, dry, well-ventilated area.

Sole Care & Storage

  • The soles are made from rubber, which can become brittle if stored incorrectly.

  • Avoid long-term storage in very hot, cold, or damp environments (e.g., garages, sheds, or car boots).

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.

  • If storing for summer, consider placing them in a breathable cotton bag or box to protect them from dust and temperature extremes.

Extra Tips

  • Avoid using bleach or harsh chemical cleaners.
