Whether you work in agriculture, fishing or industry - you probably know that a good pair of work boots is crucial for the job. Even if you only wear your boots in your spare time for walks by the sea or in the woods, you want the best quality.
Although Bekina Boots offers safety boots made from a strong material, it is also important to maintain them properly. You can only guarantee quality if the wearer also takes good care of his or her work boots. But how exactly do you do that? Our guide shows you step by step how to best clean your work or leisure boots.
1. Clean correctly and often
Your work boots probably come into contact with dirt every day. And whether it’s mud, sand, manure or oil - it is still important to clean your work boots regularly.
Do you wear them every day, all day long? Then make sure you also clean your work boots with water and a suitable cleaning agent every day. This prevents the dirt from penetrating the polyurethane and promotes the life of your boots.
Tip: don’t use too much cleaning product and always rinse your boots with clean water afterwards. Also, never soak wellies in detergent or other chemicals, otherwise you may damage the protective layer.
2. Don’t forget the inside
The inside of your boots should also be cleaned regularly with clean water, as well as the visible outside. After all, dirt can also get inside the boots, and the inner absorbs sweat.
You don’t need to clean the inside of your work boots every day. Instead, set for example a time every two weeks to clean them. This depends on how often you wear them.
Important: make sure the inside of your boots is completely dry before putting them on.
3. Wash your insoles regularly
Bekina Boots wellies come as standard with insoles or ergonomic footbeds. Have you been walking around in your safety boots for a long time? Then it’s best to remove the insoles or footbeds and let them dry.
You can also wash them every now and then to avoid the smell of sweat and prevent bacteria. You can simply wash them in the washing machine at a maximum of 30 °C.
4. Let them breathe
Working day or walk over? Then take off your work boots and put them in a dry place where they can air out. It might look simple to take off your overalls and boots in one movement.
However, make sure to remove your work clothes from the boots. This helps the polyurethane breathe and dry properly. That way, you’ll increase the life of your work boots.
