Everything has its own rules, which if we do not follow, we carry the consequences. Even in the care of shoes.
Someone who cares for textile sports shoes and sneakers, chooses to scrub with a brush in the sink, bath and shower. Someone takes a bucket with hot water, brush and a little spring and goes with it out. Others discovered the magic of washing shoes in the washing machine. Although it is a bit more expensive, for how much water the washing machine consumes for the work cycle, but again the result is clean and fragrant shoes.
This YouTube video shows how to wash the shoes in the washing machine correctly:

First, check the manufacturer’s label to see if the washing in the washing machine at all. If not, you are at risk. Honestly, however, I personally ignore the ban on washing in the washing machine, when I have old shoes muddy and I know that scrubbing will improve the look, but it will not be perfect. Therefore, when the shoes are bought many years ago, I risk it and a possible loss in the form of throwing into the garbage, I will really. But so far, nothing like that has never happened to me, the maximum of the rubber outsole around the peaks. Materials such as nylon, cotton, polyester or canvas should bear the work cycle.
How to wash shoes in a washing machine
If the shoes have laces, it is reasonable to remove them. I scrub them with soap and water in my hand. If they are white and are too dirty, I soak for a while with a drop of whitening agent and then drag in hand. And either I am satisfied with the result, or I throw them for the washing machine shoes. If someone chooses to wash the laces in the washing machine, then never put it freely in the drum, because they could get caught in it.
Scrub the soles
Take care of dirt on soles. The dried mud and the remains of anything you stepped on, dog owners know what I’m talking about, remove by brush. You wouldn’t want to dissolve all the fujtajbl from the outside in the water in the washing machine, and the shoe washing machine would wash your shoes in the water. If there are greasy spots on the shoes or other stronger pollution, such as grass stains and the like, take these sections by hand by brush because the lower detergent temperature will not remove them. And the higher ones are not recommended.
Washing bag
The next step is to put shoes in a mesh bag for washing. It is available in drugstores, large supermarkets and of course you can buy at one of the online marketplaces. Never drink shoes along with other laundry, that’s important! But it is quite sensible, whether you wash one pair of shoes in a bag or more in different bags, to insert a few old towels into the drum that you use as a rescue rag for strong dirt. For example, guys have them in the garages. So occasionally wash them. The point is that the vapors of the shoes do not beat in the drum, it could cause damage, or at least faster wear.
The work cycle and powder
Choose “Fine Linen”. Cold water. Slow or no spin. This will achieve the most effective results. As for the detergent, it is better to choose a mold of powder, because the liquid can get into the fabric and stay there after drying.
We are approaching the end. After washing the shoe, pull out with a newspaper or paper absorbent napkins. And then put for heating or out in the sun. Done.
