While washing your clothes in the machine is a great way to save time, it can be tough to get all the dirt and sweat off of your shoes. If you’re wondering if you can put your shoes in the washer, the answer is yes! Here are four ways to do it:
1. Add a scoop of laundry detergent to your machine’s water reservoir.
2. Put your shoes in the washer on cold water with a mild soap.
3. Fill a large tub or sink with water and add a couple of cups of white vinegar. Soak your shoes for 10 minutes before placing them in the water.
4. Run your machine with regular water and add a quarter-sized capful of oxygen bleach to the wash cycle.
If you’re like most people, you probably don’t have a lot of time to take care of your shoes. You want them to be clean and comfortable, but with a busy day ahead you don’t have time to stand in line at the dry cleaner or go out and buy new shoes.
Luckily, you can take care of your shoes just like any other item in your laundry pile with a little bit of preparation and effort. Here’s how to wash your shoes in the washing machine:
1. Remove your shoes from your closet or drawer and place them in a pile on the floor. This will make it easier to identify which pair you want to wash first.
2. Fill the washer with enough water to cover the shoes by an inch or two.
3. Add your detergent of choice and activate the washer.
4. Place the shoes in the washer and let them soak for a few minutes.
5. Turn off the water and remove the shoes from the washer.
6. Remove the dirt, dust, and excess water from the shoes with a towel or cloth.
7. Allow your shoes to air-dry for a few hours or overnight if possible.
8. Once they’re dry, store them in a clean, dry location.
