Instruction for use

Using a bag for washing shoes in a washing machine is very simple. It is enough to put the shoes in the bag, close the zipper, put the bag in the drum, pour powder and choose a short mode without spinning with a water temperature of not more than 300C. But it wasn’t there, at each of the listed stages there are nuances that should be remembered, since neglecting them will reduce the service life of both sneakers and cars.

  • Firstly, before putting sneakers in a bag, you need to clean the sole from dirt, and it is better to wash it.
  • Secondly, before the first washing of shoes in a new bag, you need to check it for ability to molt. Not always the bag is white, if it is colored, lather it and rinse under water. If the water is clear, you can easily wash white sneakers in such a bag. Otherwise, color marks may remain on white shoes.
  • Thirdly, for one wash, no more than two pairs of shoes placed in different bags can be put in the drum of the washing machine.
  • Fourth, for washing, it is best to use gels, as they dissolve faster and leave marks on the shoes. Moreover, you need to wash in the short mode so that the shoes do not deteriorate.

    Note! It is only necessary to wash sports shoes in a washing machine from trusted manufacturers, as a rule, Chinese sneakers do not stand up to such washing.

  • Fifthly, the laces and insoles need to be removed and washed separately, preferably by hand, so they stretch better.

After washing, the sneakers must be pulled out of the bag and dried. Bag drying is not recommended as it will take longer. Drying the sneakers is best done by hanging the sole up, so that the water drains out of the shoes faster, and then turn the sneakers upside down.The bag for washing shoes in the washing machine also needs to be dried well.

So, a bag or net for washing sneakers in a car is a very useful thing in the household. It is especially useful for those who do not like to bother to hand wash shoes. And if you carefully look after your shoes, you will not save on a bag, especially since it costs less than a pair of good sneakers of a well-known brand.
