Longaberger slippers are heirloom quality accessories that are not only meant to be heirloomed, but also to be used for home decor and organization. However, during use, there may come a time when the favorite pieces in your basket collection need a little TLC to keep them looking their best. Fortunately, these handmade accessories are easy to care for. Here we discuss some simple tips to keep them looking like new.

Longaberger slippers are handcrafted from maple weave. Like other wood products, there are some common sense tips to remember. First, avoid placing them in direct sunlight. Sunlight will cause its rich maple color to fade. Also, to prevent the wood from drying out, never place them near the vents. Keep them dry and away from wet areas to prevent warping.

During use, your parts may pick up spots or spots. To clean, the first thing you should try is warm water and mild soap. Be sure to wring out the sponge or cloth well before attempting to gently remove any stains or marks from the maple fabric. After washing with mild soap and water, allow to air dry before refilling or replacing.

If soap and water don’t work, don’t despair. For stubborn stains, use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Moisten the Magic Eraser with mild soap and warm water, then test again. No matter how stubborn the stain, be sure to do it gently. Rubbing can cause discoloration. Again, give your shoes time to air dry.

If you find a problem with your Longaberger shoes that isn’t easily fixed with these simple tips, keep in mind that you can also order repair kits and markers from the company. However, with a little care and common sense, your collection should look its best for years to come.
