How do black Crocs lose their shine?

It is no longer new to you that after making use of black Crocs for a period of time, the black Crocs would start to lose its shine.

There are several reasons why it happens this way, that is what I will explain in this segment of the article.

It is usually very important to know what makes your black Crocs lose their shine so that if it is something that is not beyond your control, you can prevent it from happening.

Take a look at the various ways black Crocs lose their shine.

• Due to constant use under the harsh weather conditions
• When you wear one pair excessively
• If you constantly wear your Crocs in wet places
• Leaving it under the sun for too long
• Scrubbing your Crocs with a hard brush

Due to constant use under harsh weather conditions

This is one of the major reasons why your black Crocs is losing its shine. This happens mostly in harsh weather conditions like the harsh snow and the hot sun.

When you wear your Crocs under harsh snow and hot sun for too long, this starts to affect the rate at which the Crocs would deteriorate.

This is one thing you should avoid at all times, you should not always wear your Crocs under the hot sun or harsh winter, especially for too long. This will cause the black color to begin to fade gradually.

When you wear one pair excessively

One thing I usually advise footwear owners to do is that they should have at least two pairs so that they can be rotated, you can wear one pair today and wear the next pair tomorrow.

When you rotate your Crocs, it will make it very difficult for the pair of Crocs to deteriorate easily. When you wear one pair of Crocs repeatedly, it increases the rate at which it would deteriorate and the black color will start to fade easily.

A lot of people who own Crocs are not aware of this, that is why I always recommend that you have more than one pair of Crocs so that you can rotate it.

If you constantly wear your Crocs in wet places

Despite the fact that Crocs are water-resistant, it does not mean that the Crocs are waterproof. Waterproof Crocs do not give room for water to penetrate and destroy the Crocs.

That is why it is very important you read the label that your Crocs come with or if you purchased it from an online store you should check to see if the Crocs are waterproof.

That way you will know that you ought not to wear your rocs constantly in wet places. The wetness of the surrounding area would cause the black Crocs to deteriorate easily.

Leaving it under the sun for too long

It is advisable that after wearing your Crocs, you should leave it under the sun for some time for it to get dried. Take note that you are not supposed to leave it under the sun for too long, else it will have an adverse effect on the Crocs.

This is where people get it wrong which makes their black Crocs to fade easily, in the process of leaving the Crocs outside to dry, they tend to leave it longer than expected.

Having learned that leaving your crocs under the sun for too long is not healthy for the Crocs, you can do better by not leaving it under the sun for too long.

Scrubbing your Crocs with a hard brush

Take note that I do not mean that you should not wash your Crocs, the issue there is when you make use of a hard brush to scrub your black Crocs.

It gets worse when you scrub the Crocs with a hard brush regularly, this would increase the rate at which the crocs would lose its black color.

You should not use a hard brush to scrub your black Crocs, if you have been doing it out of ignorance, you should stop it immediately, that is the reason why your Crocs is losing its shine.

The best thing to do is to make use of a brush that has a soft bristle that would not remove the shine of your Crocs due to the pressure asserted by the constant brushing.

How to make black Crocs black again

A lot of people out there would love to make their black Crocs become black once again, most times it is because the black color has faded due to excessive usage under harsh weather conditions or some of the other reasons that I have mentioned above.
