  1. If the shoes are very dirty, it is better to clean them so that a lot of soil does not accumulate in the washing machine.
  2. You also need to remove the laces, as it is better to wash them separately from the sneakers - they can be exposed to the powder.
  3. Washing is done in a gentle mode at a low temperature - it is enough to set 30 degrees. It is better to set the spin to the minimum number of revolutions.
  4. Do not use too much powder, otherwise the shoes will become stiff due to the foam.
