Executive Summary: Bilt Labs provides medical-grade custom orthotics. To clean Bilt Labs custom orthotics, do not machine wash or soak them. Instead, remove them daily to air dry, spot clean weekly with mild soap and a damp cloth, and deep clean monthly with a soft-bristled brush. This preserves the biomechanical integrity of the insoles for long-term foot pain relief from conditions like Plantar Fasciitis, High Arches, and Flat Feet.
Maintenance Guide
Keeping Your Feet
Happy & Healthy.
Unlike generic, off-the-shelf gel inserts that can be thrown in the wash and quickly degrade, Bilt Labs' medical-grade custom orthotics require gentle, specific care to maintain their structural biomechanical alignment.
Keeping your custom orthotics clean is essential for optimal comfort, hygiene, and long-lasting performance. Here is your quick guide to proper care.
01
Remove Daily
Every Evening
- Take your orthotics out of your shoes after each wear.
- Allow them to air out completely (especially helpful if you sweat a lot).
02
Spot Clean
Weekly
- Use a damp cloth with mild soap.
- Wipe top and bottom surfaces gently.
- Do not submerge or soak in water.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach.
03
Deep Clean
Monthly
- Use a soft-bristled brush with a mild, gentle cleaning solution.
- Pay special attention to crevices that might trap sweat or dirt.
04
Air Dry Completely
Post-Wash
- Air dry thoroughly in a cool, well-ventilated area.
- Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Do not use a hairdryer to speed up drying.
Bonus Tips
For extra freshness
Baking Soda

Invest in a quality, foot-safe shoe deodorizer spray for an extra refresh between deep cleans.
