How do I use Shoe Washing Bag?Updated 3 hours ago

TL;DR: Place shoes in Shoe Washing Bag, zip fully and tuck the flap over the zip, add a towel to balance the drum, and run a delicate cycle at a maximum of 30 degrees with Sensitive Laundry Liquid or Sensitive Laundry Sheets. No bleach or fabric softener. Air-dry only. For best results, wash one shoe per bag if your pair doesn't fit comfortably together.

How do I use Shoe Washing Bag?

✓ Step by step

1

Check shoe care labels. Some leathers, suedes, and shoes with delicate embellishments aren't machine-washable.

2

Pre-treat visible marks. Knock off heavy soil and pre-treat stains before bagging.

3

Bag and zip fully. Place shoes in Shoe Washing Bag, zip all the way, and tuck the fabric flap over the zip to protect your machine drum.

4

Load lightly with a towel. Add a towel to help balance the drum and cushion the wash.

5

Delicate cycle, max 30 degrees. Wash with Sensitive Laundry Liquid or Sensitive Laundry Sheets. No bleach or fabric softener.

6

Short spin, then air-dry. Run a short spin to remove excess water, then air-dry both shoes and bag completely before storing.


Should I wash one shoe per bag or both together?

✓ Both together (if they fit)

Smaller sneakers, canvas shoes, kids' shoes, low-tops. If both comfortably fit with space to tumble, wash together. Adds balance inside the bag and halves the cycle count.

Low-tops Canvas shoes Kids sizes

✓ One per bag (for best clean)

Bulky trainers, high-top sneakers, large adult sizes, or when both won't zip without squishing. Shoes need space to tumble for the bristles to work. Use a second bag or run two cycles.

How do I care for Shoe Washing Bag after a cycle?

✓ Good habits

Unzip and shake out trapped lint after each cycle. Air-dry the bag completely before storing. If waterlogged, run an extra spin or wring over a drain before hanging. Store dry in a cool cupboard. Designed for 100+ cycles with proper care.

Air-dry fully 100+ cycles

⚠ Avoid

No tumble-drying (shoes or bag). No bleach or fabric softener. No hot wash above 30 degrees. No ironing. Damp storage leads to odour even with a YKK zip keeping everything sealed.
