The best way to quickly and efficiently tidy up your sneakers is to wash them in an automatic washing machine.

It should be remembered that sneakers made of genuine leather and other delicate materials are best cleaned by hand, after reading the care instructions.

And for other cases there is one universal instruction.

1. Select a washing mode that is suitable for the material of the sneakers. Usually this is "delicate" or "hand" wash.

2. Use a mild detergent and warm water.

3. Set the spin mode to low speed or turn it off completely.

4. Remove insoles and laces before washing to avoid damage.

5. Place the sneakers in a special laundry bag or pillowcase.

6. After washing, let them air dry.

7. If there are stains left on the surface after washing, use a mild detergent or stain remover to remove them.

8. Do not dry your sneakers on a radiator or in the sun, as this may damage the material.

Experience shows that if you regularly dry, clean and properly care for your shoes, you will have to wash them much less often.
