Will Shoe Washing Bag stain my sneakers?Updated 3 days ago

TL;DR: The Shoe Washing Bag is designed to be colour-fast and should not turn light-coloured sneakers green when used as directed. It’s tested to TÜV Level 4 for colour fastness and built to withstand 100+ wash cycles. Follow the care tips below for best results.


Why you can feel confident

Shoe Washing Bag is built with durable, colour-fast fabrics and tested it to industry standards (TÜV Level 4 colour fastness). The bag is intended to be safe for light-coloured shoes when you follow the washing instructions: gentle cycle, max 30° C, no bleach or fabric softener, and air dry promptly.

Quick safety tips

  • Use a gentle machine cycle and keep water ≤30° C.
  • No bleach or fabric softeners. Those can affect dyes and finishes.
  • One pair per bag. Don’t overload - less rubbing = less risk.
  • Use a mild detergent (our Sensitive Laundry Liquid is a safe option).
  • Remove shoes promptly and air dry. Don’t leave wet items sitting in the bag.

Optional new-bag check

If you want extra reassurance, run a short gentle wash of the new bag alone before first use.
