Heres the right way to wash sneakers in the washing machine.
When it comes to washing sneakers in the washing machine, there are important dos and donts to consider.
First, not all shoes are machine washable.
Watch the video tutorial below for the full instructions.
Check the manufacturers instructions to double-check that they wont get damaged in the washing machine.
Step 3:
Remove the laces and insoles if possible.
Place the shoes, laces, and insole inside a mesh laundry bag.
Place inside the washing machine, followed by some old towels or rags.
Be sure to distribute them evenly so the washing machine wont become unbalanced during the cycle.
Step 4:
Add a small amount of mild detergent to the detergent compartment.
Do not use bleach or any harsh chemicals.
Step 5:
Choose a delicate wash cycle with cold water.
Do not use hot water as it can shrink or damage your shoes.
Step 6:
Start the washing machine.
Allow it to complete the washing and rinsing phase.
To ensure all detergent residue is thoroughly removed, opt for an extra rinse cycle.
Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat.
Step 8:
Reattach the shoes and insoles.
