Periodically, you have to clean your shoes and wash them in the washing machine.
If you wash your shoes incorrectly, they may get damaged and have to be thrown away.
Therefore, before sending your shoes to be washed, you need to be aware of several basic nuances.
What can't be washed in the washing machine
Before washing, you need to know which shoes can be washed in the machine and which cannot.
You can't wash leather shoes, even if they are sports shoes. This will simply destroy their shape, and over time they will simply crack and have to be thrown away.
Also, washing suede shoes is prohibited. The point is that suede shoes simply do not tolerate water. After washing such shoes for 30 minutes, you can simply throw them away.
Also, it is not recommended to wash shoes in the machine if they have small defects. In addition, you should not wash shoes with any metal plaques.
Washing procedure
It is recommended to purchase a specialized bag for washing shoes. If you do not have one, the drum may be damaged from the inside, or the shoes will be damaged.
If there is no bag, then a simple pillowcase can perform its function. Shoes are placed in it and tied into a bag.
When washing shoes, do not use the spin option. It can damage shoes. The same applies to other specialized modes.
Shoelaces should be removed from shoes and washed separately. The same applies to insoles.
