Many reputable sources, such as Helen Mirren and hellogiggles.com, have debated about crocs’ dishwasherness and food-safeness. Us, too, at Thursday Detention also question the most important aspects of crocs. BPA content? Durability? Can you, and should you, use steel wool to clean off the marinara from your dinner left in the holes of the shoe? Bacteria content after rawdogging it in sports mode all day? Should you really place your grimy rubber sport slippers next to your dishware?

Yes, there is a lot of controversy surrounding the dishwasher method, so we wouldn’t advise chucking your beloved waterproof foot coverings into the dishwasher as of yet. But don’t fret; we have a couple solutions. 

1. Women. Per picasso’s article from last edition, “women belong in the kitchen.” A woman can maintain her domestic duties by hand washing crocs in the sink. 
2. Step out into the garden and hose wash those bad boys!
3. If the dishwasher method is a must, take after Mario Batali! Buy a dishwasher especially for your crocs!
4. Make your grandma wear them while she does water aerobics at your local YMCA.
5. Wear them while frolicking in the sprinklers on Westridge campus.
6. Hide them in your friend’s water polo bag before practice. Upon opening it, the stench will hit them so hard, they will be forced to throw those colorful cotasphere’s right into the pool.
7. Embrace the aroma. Who knows? Maybe craptastic-croc-creature can be your own personal brand!
