How to wash Gymnastics Slippers for Kids

Gymnastics slippers are everyday essentials for children’s free movement—at school, at home, and during playtime. But how can you wash them properly to keep them looking great and lasting longer?

Here’s Helbie’s simple and effective care guide, designed for conscious parents who value barefoot comfort and sustainability.


1. Slippers in cotton, satin, laminated or  printed fabric

➡ Yes to machine washing

 

If your child wears Helbie slippers made of certified cotton, satin, laminated or printed fabrics, they can safely be washed in the washing machine.

Just follow these easy steps:

  • Use a gentle cycle at max 30°C (86°F)
  • Choose a mild detergent
  • Do not use fabric softeners or tumble dryers
  • Let them air dry naturally, away from heat sources

Thanks to their lightweight and breathable materials, they dry quickly!


2. Leather slippers

➡ Hand wash only

 

 

Our slippers made of premium LWG-certified Italian leather require more delicate care. 

Here’s how to clean them:

  • Use a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and a gentle cleanser if needed
  • Do not soak them or use abrasive sponges
  • Let them air dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or radiators

Proper care keeps the leather soft, strong, and beautiful over time.
