In summer, shoes get dirty no less than in winter. The main thing to fight is the smell of sweat, so shoes are sometimes simply sent to the washing machine.
However, not all types of shoes can be washed in a washing machine due to the material or design.
It is better to use other means if it is:
1. Leather shoes
Washing leather shoes in a washing machine can damage the material and cause it to become deformed.
2. Shoes with a suede or patent leather surface
These materials may be damaged when machine washed.
3. Shoes with metal inserts or rivets
Metal elements can damage the washing machine.
4. Shoes with rubber or plastic soles
Rubber or plastic soles can be damaged when washed in a washing machine, especially if they have not been pre-cleaned of dirt and dust.
5. Shoes with high heels or platforms
Such models may be unstable when washed in a washing machine and damage the washing machine or the shoes themselves.
6. Shoes that require special care
These could be suede shoes or shoes with decorative elements such as rhinestones or embroidery.
Personal experience suggests that before leaving a couple in the washing machine, it is better to read the manufacturer's instructions.
