When washing shoes leads to problems with the machine

A colleague chose shoes for a child who grew up over the winter in an online store. We took an active part in this. Of course, they discussed whether the chosen model would be convenient, whether it was worth giving the indicated price for it. At the same time, she always clarified whether it was possible to wash the vending pair. Her persistence seemed to us even a little intrusive. But she said that she once ruined her own comfortable moccasins by putting them in a drum. The conversation gradually turned to the topic of shoe washing. It turned out that many had to deal with an unsuccessful result. And even to repair the car after such failures. And the mistakes made by the hostesses led to this.

Not every pair is compatible with the clipper

Of course, the ease with which you can return a comfortable model to its pristine cleanliness with a typewriter attracts. Yes and

for hygiene, wet cleaning is useful. And it is more difficult to clean shoes manually with high quality. So women are trying to wash a variety of models. And they often make mistakes.

One of the main ones is non-compliance with the recommendations for caring for a particular couple. Not all shoes are washable! However, often women, once using the help of a washing machine, forget about the advice of the manufacturers. And then they regret it, pulling out products from the drum that can no longer be worn. And the device can be damaged or even damaged. Textiles tolerate well washing in the machine: sneakers, sneakers, moccasins, ballet flats, ugg boots (not every one!), Slippers.

The main thing when cleaning shoes with wet is not to spoil the products and the machine itself. Therefore, you should not risk loading heavy models. They will have to be cleaned by hand.

Reference. Heavy steam can not only deform the drum, but also break the glass in the door.

But not every light pair will withstand processing in a drum. Only a sturdy and sturdy model will do.
Often women are disappointed with the result if they hit the drum. products, the sole of which is not stitched, but glued, and unreliable. Or worn-out garments with cracked or frayed soles, and the upper material is ripped or frayed.

What to wash is not recommended so as not to damage the machine

• Products, not made of textiles, and from other materials (leather, suede, nubuck).
• Warm and solid boots or boots with fur lining. And also shoes with a membrane - a special film with micropores. Villi, particles of fur and film clog mechanisms.
• Boots, shoes, sandals high and thin stiletto heels. The heel can not only break, but also will cause the drum to block.
• Models, decorated with rhinestones, beads or other decor. Things with metal parts or reflectorsthat children and teenagers love. Decorative details do not tolerate the impact of mechanisms, come off, clog the pump and filter.
• Weakly colored models. They themselves will lose color, and ink particles cannot be completely removed from the drum surface. The result will appear with further use of the device.

Advice. Inspect the steam carefully before loading it into the drum. If its durability, quality of material or color are in doubt, it is better to refuse cleaning in a typewriter.

Advice. It is best to use a special bag designed specifically for shoes. It differs from the usual one with foam inserts, which will provide additional protection for products.

• Items are placed in the drum, of which insoles not pulled out. It is also wrong to load shoes with laces left in it.
• Products are sent for cleaning unprepared, with soil adhered to the sole, which will get into the motor parts and damage them.
• Loading shoes stained or heavily soiled. In this case, the stain after a delicate wash may remain or even blur. Therefore, it is more correct to first clean them, and then send them to the drum.

Process

• Choosing the wrong mode. Do not select a mode with high water heating (more than 40 °), strong spinning or drying. The most suitable mode for equipment and shoes is “delicate wash”.
• Using a large amount of powder instead of liquid detergent.
