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

Check shoe care labels. Many sneakers and trainers are machine-washable, but some materials like leather or suede are not suitable.

Pre-treat visible marks. Knock off heavy soil, then treat any visible stains with Stain Remover or Universal Cleaner and let it sit a few minutes.

Bag and zip fully. Place shoes in Shoe Washing Bag, zip all the way, and tuck the zip under the fabric flap if your bag has one, so it stays secure.

Balance the drum. Wash with a towel, or in with other darks if it's a small separate load, so the machine stays balanced and quiet.

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

Max spin, then air-dry. The bag can hold water, so run a max spin to remove the excess, then air-dry both shoes and bag completely before storing.

✓ One bag for a pair

The bag is sized to fit one pair up to men's size 11, so a standard pair of sneakers, trainers, canvas shoes, or kids' shoes washes together in a single bag.

✓ Two bags for larger or bulky shoes

For shoes larger than men's size 11 or particularly bulky styles, use two bags with one shoe in each. Two bags also balance each other in the drum. A single bag should go in with a towel or other darks if it's a small separate wash.

✓ Good habits

Unzip and shake out trapped lint after each cycle. Air-dry the bag completely before storing. If it's still waterlogged, run an extra spin before hanging. Store dry in a cool cupboard. Tested to withstand over 100 wash cycles with proper care.

⚠ Avoid

No tumble-drying, shoes or bag. No bleach or fabric softener. No wash above 30 degrees. No ironing. Don't store the bag damp, since that leads to odour.
