Before You Wash Your On Cloud Shoes
Avoid cleaning on cloudy days! Remove laces and insoles and put in a separate bin (washed separately). If on cloud trainers are damp with mud, allow them to dry before placing them on the mud. Dried mud can be easily removed, and will not push dirt in the mesh, unlike wet mud. Dry and then add a bit of air pressure to the soles to dislodge most of the debris; then use a dry soft brush or old toothbrush to clear the remaining dirt from the outsole grooves and CloudTec pods.

Step 1 — Prepare Your Cleaning Solution
Place cold/warm water in a bowl with a little mild liquid detergent. Do not use hot water, bleach and/or harsh chemicals in On Cloud shoes as they may damage the structural adhesives, CloudTec pods and mesh.
Step 2 — Clean the Mesh Upper
Put on a soft bristle brush (or old toothbrush) in the soapy water and gently rub the mesh top in circular movements. Apply to toe box, sides, tongue and counter in the heel. The engineered mesh and knit uppers on On Cloud trainers are delicate – only use light pressure and a soft brush.
Step 3 — Clean the CloudTec Pods and Midsole
Use medium bristle brush to clean midsole foam and each CloudTec pod. Use light pressure, do not press hard, as it may cause the foam pods to become flat. Scrape out all the dirt and grit from within the empty pod chambers.
Step 4 — Scrub the Rubber Outsole
More durable rubber outsole which will take a little more of the brush. Clear all the grip channels and grooves from any build-up of dirt or grime to give excellent grip on wet UK roads and pavements.
Step 5 — Remove All Soap Residue
Using a clean cold-water-soaked cloth, scrub all the shoe. NEVER rinse under running water or put the shoes in water. Too much water penetrates the CloudTec foam midsole, and can permanently damage the CloudTec pods.
Can You Machine Wash On Cloud Shoes?
Cloud shoes can not be machine washed. The spin cycle forces the CloudTec pods apart, the agita can fray or tear the mesh upper and the extended exposure to water can compromise the adhesives that join the shoe together. Never use a machine to wash On Cloud 5 Waterproof, On Cloud waterproof running shoes or On Cloud waterproof walking boots as it will rip the waterproof membrane.
On cloud shoes that are extremely dirty and hand washed, place on a laundry mesh bag, add four to six old towels to the laundry drum to provide protection for the shoes, wash on a delicate, cold laundry cycle and use no more than 1 tablespoon of mild detergent. Air dry – NOT TUMBLE DRY!
How to Dry On Cloud Shoes
All On Cloud shoes and On Cloud trainers are only safe to air dry. Put white paper towels in the shoes to absorb moisture and keep them from collapsing. Put at room temperature in a well ventilated space and wear after at least 24 hours.
Never tumble dry. Never dry on or near a radiator. Do not use a hair dryer! Do not dry in the sun. Cloud running shoes wear out due to the heat inside the CloudTec pods and the Speedboard accelerator plate in the CloudTec on your running shoes is damaged.
How to Clean White On Cloud Shoes
The white clouds are additional noticing deserving with regards to retaining them bright. Don’t use bleach, as it may yellow the polyester mesh which is used in the On Cloud range. Mix 3 parts baking soda to 1 part cold water.Create a paste by combining 3 parts baking soda and 1 part cold water. Use with a soft toothbrush and massage gently for five minutes, wipe with a damp cloth. Allow air to dry in the shade; don’t expose to sun to further yellowing.
How to Clean On Cloud Insoles and Laces
Remove wash laces and insoles from the shoe. Place laces in mild soapy water for 10 minutes and gently scrub, rinse and air dry. Hand wash insoles with mild detergent and lukewarm water, clean both sides with a soft brush, rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before inserting back into your on cloud shoes. Don’t put damp insole back in.
On Cloud Shoe Storage and Care Tips
Keep on cloud shoes in a cool, dry, ventilated area, out of direct sunlight. Do not store in the bag that they were purchased in as they will trap moisture within the bag, resulting in odor and the degradation of the material. Avoid opening the box – store in original box or paper to keep shape. Never place heavy objects on Cloud shoes stored on CloudTec pods as this will permanently damage the pods. After every deep clean apply a shoe protector spray to prevent future dirt and moisture and to lessen the frequency of deep cleaning.
