You really see a big difference in all 3 pairs of shoes especially your blue ones. My shoes need some serious cleaning so will try out your methods this afternoon. I learned alot of new tips so I know I will see a difference in my own shoes!😊 Thank you!
I don’t know if I missed it but, what did you do with the soles of the shoes. You took them out and I noticed you didn’t bag them and when you left with all the bags - the soles where still in the sink. So do you just let them sit in the sink? Can they not go in the washer also? Just curious. Thanks for the video👍🏻
This was so good. I totally ruined a pair of sneakers by throwing them in the wash but I have a newer pair that I really need to clean. I’m going to try this method for sure.
Did you set the washing machine to warm water or cold? I had a rack for the dryer to set shoes on but I didn't know what it was or where it came from so I think it may have been thrown out🤦😁
This is so through! I especially like the tips of how to dry them in the dryer. However it seems to be a lot of work for the hand cleaning part. I don't have that kind of patience. I usually dust the shoes, take off the laces, then throw them in the wash machine on a normal cycle, they came out clean enough for me. Then I air dry them outside if it is sunny. They look as good as new.
I did not use washing bag, just put the shoes in by themselves. I saw no damage either to the shoes or to the washing machine. Am I OK? I am a bit paranoid I did damage that I have not discovered yet. Thank you.
Also washing your dirty outdoor shoes, in the kitchen sink? :o Where you prep food and wash dishes? I hope you used atleast bleach liberally in and around that sink afterwards
Yup! The kitchen sink is easy to deep clean and sanitize, we do it often over here. Similar to washing fresh fruits and veggies in the sink after having raw meat in there, the kitchen sink often needs a good clean between different things that go in there!
Great tips :) How often do you do this? I usually only clean the exterior of my shoes by hand with Dawn and a cleaning toothbrush (used exclusively for my shoes). But the idea of getting the insides clean too (and less smelly) is appealing... I just worry that they'll wear out faster this way...
Thanks you! Yes this definitely helps with the smell. It is something I only do every now and then, I wouldn't do it more than twice a year to preserve the life of your shoes.
I live in an apartment and don't have a laundry room sink. I gave it a nice clean before putting my shoes in there so it is the best place for me to wash them!
@@conniesapphire5296 No not at all! Happy to answer all questions and take advice! ☺️ We only have one small little bucket that would maybe only fit one pair 🙈🤷🏽♀️
Don't see why that is an issue! You can easily clean a sink! People have raw meat in their sink and then will wash fruits/veggies, you just need to clean your sink in between.
Washing your shoes in a washer is totally Outrageous! I don't care what the shoe label says. Washing shoes like these with heavy/thick soles will for example damage the washing machines drum! So these tips and video is very irresponsible. The glues and adhesives located in different places on/in the shoes maybe will be unaffected by washing the shoes in low temperatures but still its an unnecessary risk. Don't risk your machines life nor your shoes quality of life following this video:/
Not outrageous at all, it's a very common way to wash shoes. Whirlpool, the manufacturer for my washing machine, actually has an article on their website on how to wash shoes in the washing machine.
You demonstrated this so well Sophie! Thank you for sharing! My husband just bought me a really nice new pair of shoes so this video definitely gave me good tips for when I go to clean them! Thank you!
This is the way I've always done my sneakers for years now even before I'd seen this video. The only thing is I never put them in the washing machine. I do it in the bathtub and use a scrub brush. Works like a charm! I put my sneakers outside in the sun. I rotate them around too. Then when they are bone dry and the laces are dry I lace them up and it's such a pleasure to put on clean sneakers. Like they are new again and they smell so good too. Quick tip..... I found out that dollar tree has this magic eraser thing that comes in a plastic pack of one single sponge but I use them on the rubber outside sole part of the sneaker and it takes all the dirt off. It works so good too. I suppose you could use regular magic erasers but the one sold at dollar tree is specifically for shoes and has a rougher part in the sponge that gets hard to rub off areas. And not bad for a dollar. I think I did 2 pairs of sneakers with one dollar tree sponge and then it started to break up and had to throw it away but it does the job well.
@@ms.coleman4535 It's the kind that you use on floors or for cleaning the tire of a car. Flat, long . Some come with a handle some without. A scrub brush. I got mines at the dollar tree but you can find them most anywhere. Dollar general, family dollar, Walmart.
Wow, SO, you really went to town cleaning up those shoes! I have a boatload of “dumpster Emporium” tennis shoes that really need to be scrubbed up. You would not believe how many people throw away perfectly good shoes around where I live.
Lots of ways to wash shoes, though I recommend hand washing only as the washing machines can be rough and destructive to shoes. The most difficult part is drying shoes completely. Air drying outside is best. Can also put in a warm room, such as a furnace room. Dryers can be destructive to shoes, unless you have a rack that can keep the shoes from tumbling.
Helpful tips. Looks like you are working with a front-loading dryer. I would recommend a removable shoe rack for drying shoes. The shoe rack keeps the shoes in one place while drying.
The music is weird, I feel like it's trying to hard to hype me up to clean shoes 🤣 I feel like doing a task like this would be less stressful if we all had a clean kitchen and massive sink like yours. 🥰 Thank you for your video. I wonder if the efficacy changes depending on the detergent.
No reason for all these extra steps. I just throw my runners in the washing machine, use hot water, detergent and oxy powder. I keep laces in. They come out perfect.
Hmm washing shoes that touch god knows what on the bottom of the shoes is ok. I guess deep cleaning a toilet brush in the kitchen is normal too. 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
