Tips to maintain your apek sandals long term
1.Clean it every month
It is not necessary for you to clean it everyday but it is essential to clean it every month at least. This will gurantee a crisp white and clean and not smelling like chicken feet.
2.Do not use bleach
Some take the easy way out to use bleach but we do not recommend it at all. First of the colours will fade and the rubber will react to the bleach making it hard and uncomfortable.
3.Don't leave it wet
Some are lazy to dry their sandals completly. This will allow the rubber adsorb to much moisture hence making it softer and less usable and essentially thinner over time. Do avoid this.
