washing slippers in a typewriterSome people think of washing their slippers in a washing machine. They take their old slippers and throw them in the drum of the washer, not really thinking about how to wash, and most importantly, that there are proper washing methods. As a result, the shoes are falling apart and people come to the conclusion that it’s impossible to wash slippers in a typewriter, but we are sure that it is impossible to say anything like that. So is it possible to wash slippers in the washing machine, and if so, how to do it right? We'll figure out!

Is washing such shoes dangerous?

It would seem, what is the danger of washing slippers in the washing machine? Well, they washed them, well, they fell apart, threw them out, bought new ones, and if it turned out to wash without consequences, then it’s wonderful. In fact, the danger is not with slippers, but with a washing machine.

Imagine that you wash cheap glued Chinese slippers. During washing, they safely fall apart right in the drum and pieces of cardboard, thread and a bunch of all kinds of rubbish fall out of them. This garbage can easily get into the tank and stay there, and even worse, it can clog the machine’s drain pipe or pump. Of course,do-it-yourself clean the drain pump in the washing machine not difficult, but why is this hemorrhoids needed? Isn’t it easier to immediately secure the washing machine and not to shove shoes, even home ones, with glued soles and other elements.

It’s dangerous to wash low-quality cheap slippers. The danger threatens both the shoe itself and the washing machine.

If the sole and other elements are carefully sewn, the seams look reliable, and the slippers themselves are sewn from synthetic fabric, you can try washing them in a washing machine. If the sole is glued, and even more so if it is already partially torn off, slippers cannot be washed in any way, either in the washing machine or manually.

So, is it possible to wash 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 stitched qualitatively and not glued somehow. If your slippers are of high quality, we will prepare them for washing.

  1. Inspect the slippers as carefully as possible. There should not be any protruding threads and torn elements. If any are found, you need to sew everything up.
  2. We put the slippers in a special bag for washing shoes. Some ask: can slippers be washed in a machine just like that, without a bag. And we answer - definitely not! If there is no bag, you can use the old pillowcase from the pillow.
  3. We prepare a suitable detergent. It is better to use a gel for washing, because it is easier to rinse, and it dissolves faster. Pouring bleach or conditioner is not necessary.put slippers in the laundry bag

  • We put the bag with slippers in the machine and close the hatch.

  • Choose 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, and preferably even 30.

to make the slippers better dry, fill them with paperHaving learned how to wash slippers, we did everything right, and our favorite slippers didn’t suffer from this at all. Now the slippers are clean, but wet, because we did not use the spin. Our task at this stage is to dry them correctly. Let's get started.

Next, we just need to put the slippers in a warm, well-blown place and wait until they dry. Some try to blow dry the slippers or put them on a battery to dry. We do not recommend doing this, since such an “express-drying” is an additional test for slippers.
