How to wash sneakers in the washing machine

Dear Charamelichki hello!

Yes, to save time I quite often wash sneakers and other footwear (moccasins, Czeches, flats) in the washing machine. I want to tell that it is the best way to put footwear in order, especially if it is about children's footwear.


So, with what it is the best of all to begin washing?

1. For a start I study the label on sneakers. Often write what conditions for washing. Anyway I wash sneakers on delicate washing or hand wash. I put by 30 degrees, turns about 300. I do not use an extraction, most treats also drying. Still now many washing machines had a program: "Washing of footwear" or "Sports shoes", by the way it is very convenient to use this program.

2. I get laces, insoles. Generally I erase insoles separately. For example, I do soap solution, then I presoak in it for 20 minutes.

3. In a stiralka I put no more than two pairs of shoes. For protection of a drum I use an old towel or some old things for which it is not a pity the main thing that there was a counterbalance. Washing of footwear can damage a drum as constantly hit. Still heard that footwear is put in special sacks, so loading is less too.



4. For washing of sneakers I use washing gels. Recently I passed to gels, it seems to me them to erase most conveniently, especially at low temperatures. If to use usual laundry detergent, it more can do much harm more to sneakers. For example, leaves stains and it is necessary to erase once again.

Still as washing option – capsules, but minus that they are badly dissolved at low temperatures. The washing capsule can be used from 40 C. Too never I use the conditioner for sneakers.

It is the ideally best of all to use special gels which developed especially for care of sports shoes.

5. Sneakers the land on a balcony. In the fresh air they are perfectly dried.

I never erase in the machine if they are made from suede or leather. And even before each washing I clean with a sponge a sole from pollution.

All thanks for attention!
