How to wash duvets in a washing machine

washing duvetsCaring for and washing shoes, especially winter ones, raises a lot of questions among people. People often wonder if they should wash such shoes in the machine to make their work easier; could something happen to them? There are quite a lot of winter shoes, but in this article we will focus on the question of whether the boots can be washed in a washing machine.

A few words about shoes

Dutiki, and some call them dutysh, are inflated waterproof autumn-winter shoes. A distinctive feature of duvets is that they are made from high-tech textile materials, and not from leather and suede. The most common ones are made of a membrane surface and fur inside. These ankle boots are comfortable because they have a flat, non-slip sole and a wide shaft.

For your information! You can come across such a name for dutiks - munbuts, which translated from English means lunar rovers.

The method of caring for them will also depend on the material and quality of manufacture of these shoes. Of course, most manufacturers indicate on the label that the duvets cannot be washed in a washing machine. But this doesn’t scare some people, and after experimenting with their boots, they write that nothing will happen. However, you should not be so sure; boots of dubious quality may fall apart, the sole may even come off, so everything will depend on the quality of the product as a whole.

Basic washing rules

  • clean the soles of shoes if necessary;dutiki
  • we put the dutik in a bag for washing shoes, and then in the drum of the washing machine;
  • pour a small amount of liquid detergent for washing delicate clothes, as it rinses best; if the duvets are made of membrane, take a special detergent for membrane fabrics;
  • Next, select a washing mode with water heating of no more than 40 degrees, for example, “Shoes”, “Handwash";
  • turn off the spin cycle and do not use the drying mode;
  • start the wash.

Some housewives note that it is not always possible to remove dirt from shoes at a low temperature in a washing machine; you have to scrub it off additionally. Therefore, they prefer hand washing rather than machine washing, the result is better.

This kind of washing is not suitable for all boots of this type, for example, if there is natural sheep fur inside, then washing them in a machine is disastrous for them. What to do if you can’t wash your boots in the machine? You can use a brush and a mild soap solution. Clean the surface of the dummies with it and carefully rinse off the foam. This cleaning will protect the soles of your shoes.
