HANGERWORLD White Padded Mesh Net Wash Bag with Zipper - Protector for Trainers & Shoes in Washing Machine

Product Information

With our washing machine guide, we will explain everything you need to know to make washing simple. Stuffing shoes with newspaper, and changing it when it begins to feel damp, is a good way to speed drying as the paper absorbs some of the excess water (this is also a handy tip for all your shoes if you’ve been out in the rain or if the kids have been splashing in puddles.) You can also accelerate the process by removing the insoles and washing and drying them separately. When it comes to washing your trainers, there are pros and cons to leaving the laces on or removing them before throwing them in the machine. Once you’ve chosen the right brush, moisten it with a little soap and water and let it glide effortlessly over each shoe – after a few minutes, your trainers will look brand new. Pat your clean trainers down with a towel, and you’re done!

If the label allows for machine washing, then gather necessary supplies and equipment to get started. Gather Necessary Supplies and Equipment No matter how well you treat a shiny, new pair of trainers, they’re going to get grubby. Unless you only wear them around the house, they will be pounding the filthy pavements and traipsing through muddy parks. Maintenance tips for keeping your washing machine clean include leaving the door open after each use to allow air circulation and preventing mold growth. Remove your shoes from the pillowcase or bag, but don’t be tempted to throw them into the tumble dryer.Alternatively, you may opt not to use the washing machine at all and instead wash your trainers by hand. While this may be effective for some types of fabric and smaller stains, it can be time-consuming and require more effort than using a machine. Plus, with the right preparation and care (i.e., using a mesh laundry bag), machine-washing your trainers is just as safe as hand-washing them! Next, think about water temperature and cycle duration. If your trainers are made from delicate materials like mesh or suede, use cold water and a shorter cycle time. On the other hand, if your shoes are heavily soiled or made from sturdier materials like leather or rubber, use warm water and a longer cycle time. By following these steps and maintaining regular cleaning habits, you can keep your trainers looking and smelling like new. Not only will this prolong their lifespan, but it will also ensure that you always look stylish while out on the go. Additionally, when drying your trainers, opt for air drying instead of using a dryer as excessive heat can warp or shrink the material of the shoes. To remove stubborn stains from your trainers, try pre-treating them with a stain remover before throwing them in the washing machine. Alternatively, you can scrub difficult stains with a soft-bristled brush and mild soap solution. Be prepared for this process to take a while! Air drying shoes can take hours, or even days, so don’t machine wash them if you desperately need to pair them with your outfit the same night.

Do you have a pair of trainers that have seen better days? Are they stained, dirty, or just plain smelly? If so, it might be time to give them a good wash. Once they’re completely dry and smelling fresh, you can move on to the next step – cleaning your washing machine. Clean the Washing Machine One of the best methods for this is to use a soft brush, along with a damp cloth. If you want to be especially thorough, we recommend using a cotton bud to get inside the more hard-to-reach areas. The towels will also help to soften the banging even further, so your trainers will be less likely to cause any damage to your machine.

This step also stops the shoes from damaging the interior of the machine, as their constant rotation and banging will not be great for the machine’s health.
