How to wash dutiks in a washing machine

Care and washing of shoes, especially winter, causes a lot of questions in people. People often wonder if such shoes should be washed in a car to make their work easier, can something happen to her? There are quite a lot of winter shoes, but in this article we will focus on the question of whether it is possible to wash dutiks in a washing machine.

A few words about shoes

The Dutiks, and some call them dots, are blown, waterproof, fall-winter shoes. A distinctive feature of dutiks is that they are sewn from high-tech textile materials, and not from leather and suede. The most common are dutiks from the membrane surface and fur inside. These ankle boots are comfortable in that they have a flat non-slip sole and a wide bootleg.

Note! You can find such a name for the Dutiks - the moonboots, which in translation from English means moon rovers.

The material and workmanship of these shoes will also determine how to care for them. Of course, most manufacturers on the label indicate that dutiks are not machine washable. But this doesn’t scare some, and after experimenting with their boots, they write that nothing will happen. However, you should not be so sure that boots of dubious quality may fall apart, the sole will come off altogether, so everything will depend on the quality of the product as a whole.

Basic rules for washing

And now we will figure out how to wash the dutiks in a typewriter machine, if you still decide to do it. The rules are quite simple:

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

Some housewives note that it is not always possible to remove dirt at shoes from a shoe in a washing machine, it is necessary to wipe it additionally. Therefore, they prefer hand wash rather than machine wash, the result is better.

Such washing is not suitable for all boots of this type, for example, if there is natural sheepskin fur inside, then washing in a car is fatal for them. What to do if you cannot wash your boots in a car? You can use a brush and a mild soapy solution. Clean the surface of the dutiks and gently rinse off the foam. Such a cleaning will protect the sole of the shoe.

Shoe drying

Washed? It remains only to dry properly. You can put the munboots near the battery or heater, having previously absorbed excess moisture with terry towels or newspapers. Such drying does not harm textile boots, but membrane boots cannot be dried in this way. The membrane is “afraid” of high temperature, which leads to the loss of water-repellent function.

After washing the dutiks, if necessary, they can be treated with a special water-repellent composition. Instructions for the use of such a tool are written on the package, you can easily cope with this task.
