How to wash slippers in a washing machine

washing slippers in a machine Some people think of washing their slippers in the washing machine. They take their old house shoes and throw them into the drum of the washing machine, without really thinking about how to wash, and most importantly, that there are correct ways to wash. As a result, the shoes fall apart and people come to the conclusion that they cannot wash their slippers in a machine, but we are sure that this cannot be said unequivocally. So is it possible to wash slippers in a washing machine, and if so, how to do it correctly? We'll figure out!

Is it dangerous to wash such shoes?

It would seem, what is the danger of washing slippers in a washing machine? Well, I washed them, well, they fell apart, threw them away, bought new ones, and if I managed to wash them without consequences, then great. In fact, it is not the slippers that are in danger, but the washing machine.

Imagine that you are washing cheap glued Chinese slippers. During washing, they happily fall apart right in the drum and pieces of cardboard, thread and a bunch of other crap fall out of them. This debris can easily get into the tank and stay there, and even worse, it can clog your car drain or pump. Certainly, clean the drain pump in the washing machine with your own hands not difficult, but why do we need these hemorrhoids? Isn’t it easier to immediately secure the washing machine and not put shoes in there, even indoor ones, with glued soles and other elements.

It is dangerous to wash low-quality cheap house shoes. The danger threatens both the shoes themselves and the washing machine.

old slippers Hence the first conclusion that we can draw within the framework of this article.Before washing your slippers, inspect them carefully. If the sole and other elements are carefully sewn, the seams look secure, and the slippers themselves are made of synthetic fabric, you can try washing them in the washing machine. If the sole is glued, and even more so if it has already been partially torn off, the slippers cannot be washed in any way, either in a washing machine or by hand.

First we get ready, then we wash

So, can you wash your slippers in the washing machine? We came to the conclusion that it is possible, but under certain conditions. The main condition is that the slippers are well-sewn and not haphazardly glued together. If your slippers are of high quality, we will prepare them for washing.

We inspect the slippers as carefully as possible. There should be no protruding threads or torn elements. If any are found, you need to sew everything up.
We put the slippers in a special bag for washing shoes. Some people ask: can slippers be washed in a machine just like that, without a bag. And we answer - definitely not! If you don't have a bag, you can use an old pillowcase.
Prepare a suitable detergent. It is better to use washing gel, as it is easier to rinse and dissolves faster. There is no need to add bleach or conditioner.

Well, that's all. At this point, you can finish your preparation and move on to answering the question: how to wash slippers in a washing machine? Let's follow simple steps.

We put the bag of slippers in the car and close the hatch.
Pour the washing gel into the powder receptacle.
Select one of the following washing programs: “Shoes”, “Delicate” or “Hand Wash”.

For such purposes, the “Shoes” mode is best suited.

We set the temperature to 40 degrees, or better yet 30.
We remove the spin and start the program.

We figured out how to wash slippers in a machine. Do you think that's all? Not so. If indoor shoes are not dried correctly, they can become unusable in the same way as if they were washed incorrectly. So we still need to figure out how to dry the slippers, and we will do this as part of the next point.

How to dry it without spoiling it?

To make your slippers dry better, stuff them with paper Having learned how to wash slippers, we did everything correctly, and our favorite house shoes did not suffer at all. Now the slippers are clean, but wet, since we did not use the spin cycle. Our task at this stage is to dry them properly. Let's get started.

First, let's crumple up several sheets of paper and stuff it into the slippers. INfirstly, the paper will quickly absorb excess moisture, and secondly, it will help the shoes maintain their shape. Next we just need to put the slippers in a warm, well-ventilated place and wait until they dry. Some people try to dry their slippers with a hairdryer or place them on a radiator to dry. We do not recommend doing this, since such “express drying” is an additional test for the slippers.

We figured out how to wash soft house shoes, there’s nothing complicated about it. However, we have established that it is not enough just to wash the slippers, they also need to be dried properly so that these shoes give your feet rest for a long time after a hard day at work. Good luck!
