Can you washing machine trainers

This will stop them from getting stuck in the drum holes or rubber seal. Because of this, powder detergent might not dissolve fully especially on a cold wash and it will just get stuck inside, particularly along the seams. Find the best detergent and save money by checking out our laundry detergent reviews. Outdoors would be best for this, as they will dry quicker, but indoors will be perfectly fine too.

If your shoes cannot be washed fully either in the machine or by hand then an old toothbrush can be used to remove obvious surface dirt. You may also be able to use a damp cloth as an alternative to washing. To prepare your shoes for the washing machine, remove the laces and scrub any loose dirt from the surface — you can use an old toothbrush to get into smaller areas like eyelets and a larger, stiff-bristled brush for the surface of the shoe itself.

For more obvious or stubborn dirt, hold the shoes beneath a running tap to remove excess debris and stains. Taking time to prepare your shoes like this will help the washing machine do its job effectively and efficiently. These will act as a buffer, helping to stop your shoes banging against the drum during the wash.

Rather than opting for a warm wash, keep the water temperature at a cooler 30 degrees to prevent the colours of your shoes running or fading. Use a good colour detergent, like Persil Colour Washing Capsules.

Pop one cap into the drum before adding your towels and then your shoes. It might be tempting to throw your trainers in the dryer after washing them, but this is a sure-fire way to ruin them. The head from the dryer will distort the shape of the trainer and can cause the rubber sole to crack and warp. Thank you for your feedback.
