It\u2019s easy to do and less costly than taking them to get dry cleaned. Nevertheless, to get the right result (and not a peeled outsole), you need to follow some helpful recommendations. Below, we\u2019ve compiled some nice recommendations that can prolong the life of your shoes.\n<h4>1. Check If You Can Wash Your Shoes In The Washing Machine\n</h4><p><img fetchpriority='\"high\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-1599 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/04%5C/1-6.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"Washing' shoes width='\"728\"' height='\"418\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1-6.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><ol>\n<li>Persil company says that it\u2019s possible to wash your shoes in the washing machine, but this doesn\u2019t apply to every pair. Check the label first! It can be made of a material that\u2019s not meant to get wet like leather shoes, for example.\n</li><li>But sneakers made of fabric are fine to go into your washing machine.<br>\nAlso, check the condition of your shoes. If the soles are coming off, it\u2019s better to fix that issue first.\n\n<h4>2. Prepare And Pre-Clean Your Shoes\n</h4><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-1600 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/04%5C/2-6.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"washing' shoe width='\"728\"' height='\"418\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/2-6.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>If your shoes have a lot of dirt or mud on them, brush off as much of them as possible with a rag. No need to scrub them, but it protects your washing machine from clogging.\n</p><ol>\n<li>Clean the sole with a brush.\n</li><li>Rinse the shoes to get rid of any soap residue.\n</li><li>Remove the insoles and laces. The laces should be washed separately.\n\n<h4>3. Get The Right Cleaning Products\n</h4><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-1601 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/04%5C/3-9.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"washing' shoe width='\"728\"' height='\"418\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/3-9.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><ol>\n<li>It\u2019s recommended to use a gel for washing instead of washing powder since it\u2019s difficult to rinse.\n</li><li>Shoes should be washed using a special mode at a temperature of no more than 86\u00baF.\n\n<h4>4. Use Baking Soda To Get Rid Of A Bad Smell\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-1602 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/04%5C/4-9.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"971\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-9.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>If these shoes are your favorite pair and you wear them every day, sooner or later, an odor may make itself known. In this case, put baking soda into each shoe and leave it overnight. After that, set the sneakers to be washed in the washing machine in a special mode.\n</p><h4>5. Protect Your Shoes While Washing Them\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-1603 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/04%5C/5-8.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"418\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/5-8.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><ol>\n<li>Place the shoes in a laundry bag or in a pillowcase.\n</li><li>Add extra padding to the washing machine. For example, wash your shoes along with towels. These towels should be white as not to spoil the color of your shoes. Moreover, it\u2019s better to have special towels reserved for washing your shoes because you won\u2019t be able to use them on your face and body anymore.\n\n<h4>6. Air-Dry Your Shoes\n</h4><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-1604 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/04%5C/6-10.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"418\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/6-10.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><ol>\n<li>It\u2019s recommended that you air dry your shoes rather than use dryers or heaters. This is simply because some of the glue could melt.\n</li><li>To speed up the process and keep their shape, stuff the shoes with toilet paper or newspaper.\n\n<p>Bonus: if you have doubts about washing several pairs of shoes together.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-1605 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/04%5C/7-8.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"546\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/justmetalking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/7-8.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>You can wash 2-3 pairs of shoes at a time.
