Maintaining clean shoes is essential not just for appearance but also for hygiene. If you’re wondering how to wash shoes in a washing machine, you’re in the right place. Using home appliances from Tata Neu can make this task convenient and efficient. Let’s dive into the step-by-step guide.
Before you start, always check the shoe label to ensure your shoes are machine washable. Typically, most fabric and synthetic shoes are safe to wash in a machine, while leather and suede shoes are not. For those with leather or suede shoes, consider using specialized cleaning products available at Croma, which can help maintain the quality and longevity of your footwear.
Remove the laces and insoles from your shoes. This helps in a thorough clean. You can wash the laces separately in a mesh bag. For insoles, hand wash them with a mild detergent and let them air dry. Using a mild detergent ensures that the materials are not damaged, preserving the comfort and fit of your shoes.
Pre-treat any visible stains on your shoes using a stain remover. Apply the product to the stained areas and let it sit for a few minutes before washing. This step is crucial for removing tough stains and ensuring your shoes come out looking fresh and clean.
Select a gentle cycle on your washing machine. This setting is best for cleaning shoes without causing damage. Modern washing machines available at Croma come with various settings tailored for delicate items, ensuring your shoes are washed with care.
Place your shoes in a mesh laundry bag to protect them during the wash. This also prevents the shoes from banging around too much inside the machine. Mesh bags are easily available and are a great investment to protect delicate items during machine wash.
Use a mild detergent suitable for washing shoes. Measure the correct amount as per the detergent instructions to avoid residue build-up. Using the right detergent not only cleans effectively but also helps in maintaining the fabric quality of your shoes.
Place the mesh bag with your shoes in the washing machine. Add a few towels to balance the load and reduce noise. Start the gentle cycle. Adding towels helps in cushioning the shoes, preventing any potential damage from the drum movements.
Air drying is the safest method for drying shoes. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. If you must use a dryer, use a low heat setting and place the shoes in a mesh bag or pillowcase. Dryers with advanced settings, like those available at Croma, can be used safely with proper precautions.
Once your shoes are completely dry, reinsert the insoles and lace them up. Ensure they are fully dry to prevent any mold or odor. Proper drying is crucial to maintain the hygiene and comfort of your shoes.
Establish a regular cleaning routine based on how often you wear your shoes. Regular cleaning helps in maintaining their appearance and longevity. Using products like shoe sprays and deodorizers can keep your shoes fresh between washes.
Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Use shoe trees or stuff them with newspaper to maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in damp areas to prevent mold. Proper storage solutions, like those available at Croma, can help keep your shoes in top condition.
Invest in quality cleaning and maintenance products. Croma offers a range of shoe care products that can help you keep your shoes in excellent condition. From cleaning sprays to protective coatings, using the right products can make a significant difference.

For non-machine washable shoes, use a soft brush and mild detergent to clean them by hand. Air dry them thoroughly. Hand cleaning kits and brushes can be found at Croma, designed specifically for delicate shoes.
Use a mesh laundry bag and select a gentle cycle. Adding towels can help balance the load and reduce impact. Modern washing machines with delicate settings, like those available at Croma, are designed to handle such tasks with care.

The frequency of washing depends on how often you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your shoes.
