How to quickly dry sneakers after washing: folk tales

Sneakers need to be washed periodically, especially if they are light-colored summer shoes. This will make the shoes look neater and not smell so bad.

The problem is that shoes need to be dried quickly after washing, and sometimes this cannot be done quickly even in summer. Folk tales can come to the rescue.

The simplest option that might come to mind is to put the pair on a heated towel rail. But manufacturers warn that such methods lead to rapid damage to the shoes – the glue dries out.

And a special dryer can handle the task in just 3 hours.

1. Newspapers and paper

If you don't have such a device, then regular newspapers will do. Newsprint absorbs moisture well, even from the air. The inconvenience is that the damp material will have to be replaced with fresh material periodically. In addition, the sneakers will have to be wrapped in terry towels.

2. Technique

Alternatively, you can remove the brush from the vacuum cleaner pipe and place the hose in a wet pair. The shoes dry due to improved air circulation.

3. Hair dryer

A hair dryer works in a similar way, but not a construction one. You shouldn't put it inside either, otherwise it may overheat, and the fabric will be damaged by the high temperature.

4. Fan

The shoes are attached to the protective net and the equipment is turned on. During the night, a plentiful and constant flow of air will cope with the dampness.

5. Salt

The salt needs to be heated thoroughly in a frying pan, poured into a thin sock, tied up and the bags placed in the sneakers. Again: you will have to heat the salt periodically.

If you don't want to heat the salt, you can use baking soda. It also absorbs moisture well.

And the last option is reliable silica gel or cat litter. It absorbs moisture perfectly and allows you to dry your shoes quickly.
