Washing in a washing machine
Not everyone is advised to wash such shoes in a washing machine, because in the drum shoes can be damaged. But if you do everything wisely and adhere to the basic rules, you can get a good result. Before you load the sneakers into the drum, you need to carry out a series of preparatory work.
The very first thing - remove the laces and insoles. Then manually clean the sole of dust and dirt. Be sure to ensure that small stones are not stuck anywhere, because they can harm the mechanism of the machine. Put the prepared shoes in a special bag for washing. They are sold at home goods stores. If there is no such device, use an old pillowcase or something else, but the main thing is that the bag does not shed.
Powder fall asleep for white delicate things. As for the regime, then if you do not have a special program for sports shoes, wash with the most delicate mode, for example, "washing silk and cashmere."Turnovers can be set at 500-600, but not more. And turn off the "spin" mode.

Erase conversions, especially white ones, preferably with hands. For the cleaning procedure use:
- 1 tablespoon of warm water;

Mix all the above ingredients to a state of porridge. The sneakers themselves completely wet under running water while removing the laces. Apply the mixture to the sneakers and brush all with a brush with circular motions. If after rinsing some spots are visible, the procedure can be repeated.
