On what program to wash sneakers in the LG washing machine?

What program to wash sneakers in the LG washing machineNot every pair of sneakers can withstand automatic (and any other) washing without consequences. Shoes with lots of appliqués, traces of glue on the sole, etc. runs the risk of water procedures falling apart, losing sight or starting to leak moisture. Therefore, you can erase crosses only if the manufacturer allows. Is there a special mode for washing sneakers in an LG washing machine?

Wash options and modes

It should be noted that even the highest quality and strongest sneakers will not withstand indelible washing. Therefore, deciding to subject your shoes to “cleaning”, you need to carefully monitor the washing parameters yourself. For example, the temperature should not exceed 40 degrees (it is better to stop at 30 in general), and the spin cycle must certainly be turned off. Also, you should not, if possible, set the washing time in excess of half an hour. A long floundering in water will only hurt the bonding materials.

Since LG cars do not have a special mode for washing sports shoes, users are satisfied with the Fast 30 program; in almost all respects, it is ideally suited for what they have planned, except for one - the spin function is built into it. However, there is a way to slightly modify the mode and adjust it to the desired parameters.

  • Turn on the washing machine.
  • Press the “Fast 30” mode button.
  • Press the “Spin” key and select “No Spin”.
  • Launch the wash.

Accordingly, the time allotted to spin in the program “Fast 30” is reduced, and the total duration of washing without spin is no longer 30, but 25 minutes. In principle, this is more than enough to return the sneakers a beautiful view.choose Fast 30

Prepare your shoes thoroughly before washing

Preparing shoes for washing is no less important than washing itself. If you neglect a number of recommendations, then the sneakers can be hopelessly spoiled after cleaning, even if the parameters on the typewriter were set correctly. First of all, remember that it is undesirable to wash sneakers with protruding foam, as well as with the presence of reflectors. In the first case, the foam will mercilessly climb up during the process and clog the filter or pump, and in the second case, the parts will simply come unstuck and unaesthetic bald spots with traces of glue will remain.

Now you need to remove the laces from the sneakers and simply put them together with the shoes in the drum. So they are better removed. Insoles also need to be pulled out. You can clean them either with crosses and laces in the washing machine, or manually.

  • Wet the insoles well with room temperature water.
  • Sprinkle dry detergent onto the surface.
  • Rub with a shoe brush or a hard sponge.
  • Clean the insoles until they are perfectly clean. This will take no more than 10 minutes.
  • Now you can hang or put them to dry.

It is also just necessary to thoroughly clean the soles of shoes from dirt. Dirt, sand, small pebbles, all this if it gets into the drum will inevitably harm the filter, pump or other interior of the washing machine, so it’s better not to risk it.

To clean the primary layer of lumps of dirt and stones can be a sharp needle or other similar object. Smaller impurities are removed in one minute by a jet of water of strong pressure. Thus, you will perfectly prepare your sneakers for further washing.

Also, experts recommend washing sneakers in a special bag. You can buy one in any store of household appliances or household goods. If in your city it is problematic to get a bag - it does not matter. Together with your sneakers, push several towels, rags, rugs, etc. into the drum. This is necessary so that the sneakers do not hit the drum walls during washing (and the shoes are rather heavy) and do not harm the chippers or other interiors of the washing machine. And, oddly enough, the milder the wash, the better the sneakers launder.

Important! You can wash sneakers in an automatic machine with one, well, at most, two pairs (if they are children’s or small women’s). Otherwise, the shoes can simply knock out the glass of the hatch door, and then there are two problems at once: the flood and the replacement of the door, or even the entire SM at once.

Do not use the automatic drying function, even if it exists. Non-delicately dried shoes will lose their original appearance, become deformed and deteriorate. Dry strictly in natural conditions! Namely: away from artificial sources of heat and light, as well as from direct sunlight. To maintain their original shape, many users recommend stuffing shoes with newsprint or cardboard inserts.
