Proper care will extend the life and performance of your On Running Cloudmonster 2 shoes:
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush). For tougher stains, use a mild soap (like hand soap) and cold water mixture with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or hot water, as these can damage materials.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators, hair dryers, or tumble dryers, as this can warp materials and compromise adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb excess moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can degrade materials.
Avoid Submerging: While durable, avoid fully submerging your shoes in water for extended periods, as this can affect their structural integrity and cushioning properties.
