Introduction
If you’re like me and don’t have the time to pick up a pair of shoes at the store, you may want to consider washing your sneakers at home. While it is possible to wash sneakers in the washer and dryer, you may want to be careful about which shoes are best for this treatment. Your sneakers should have a flat sole to be machine-washable. You can also wash white sneakers in your washing machine. Another option is simply hand washing them with a mild detergent and warm water before letting them air dry overnight or placing them on an indoor drying rack for an hour or two on each side (depending on the material).

You can wash your shoes at home, but you might want to consider doing so.
If you don’t have time to go shopping, or if you’re in a hurry and can’t get out of the house quickly enough to find a pair of sneakers on sale at the mall (or even if it’s just too hot outside), then washing your sneakers may be an option for you.
Some people like washing their clothes in the machine; others prefer hand-washing them over using an automatic washer/dryer combo. There are also certain fabrics that are more delicate than others—so if one pair of athletic shoes gets stained from sitting around too long before being washed, another pair will probably fare better than those first ones did!

While it is possible to wash sneakers in the washer and dryer, you may want to be careful about which shoes are best for this treatment. Some shoes are not machine washable, so make sure that you check before putting them in the washing machine. If your sneaker has a fabric upper or some other type of material over the leather outer shell, then it can be safely washed on its own. However, if your shoe has an inner lining (like what you’d find on a dress shoe), then you’ll need to take extra care when washing it—and even then there’s no guarantee that all of your insoles will come clean!
You should also avoid putting any synthetic materials like fleece linings or padded tongues into your washing machine as these will cause problems with shrinking and fading over time due to moisture absorption from detergents such as bleach; however, some people swear by using whitening products like OxiClean because they claim they help prevent dirt buildup within these areas while still allowing them room enough space between each other without being too tight against one another so they don’t rub together while walking around during activity periods such as running errands around town after work hours end at 5pm everyday except Sundays which means Monday mornings start earlier than usual due
Your sneakers should have a flat sole to be machine-washable.
The first thing to remember is that sneakers should be machine washable. This means that the sole of your shoes is flat, so it’s not curved or inwardly-curved like a boot or sneaker.
Sneakers with a flat sole can be washed by hand in cold water and gentle detergent without risking damage to the upper material. If you plan on washing your sneakers with other clothes (for example, if they are part of an athletic ensemble), then make sure not to use any products containing bleach or fabric softener; these chemicals may cause discoloration in some cases such as fading down through wear over time
You can also wash white sneakers in your washing machine.
You can also wash white sneakers in your washing machine. For this, you’ll need to use a pillowcase rather than mesh bag and cold water. The detergent should be mild, so don’t use bleach or fabric softener on them; if you want to use an enzyme-based detergent instead of just plain old soap and water, make sure that it doesn’t contain optical brighteners (these interfere with how light reflects off the surface of your clothes).
Don’t get these two things wrong – otherwise you might end up with shoes that are too bright or yellowed after being exposed to bleach for too long!

The final option is to simply hand wash your shoes with a mild detergent and warm water before letting them air dry overnight or placing them on an indoor drying rack for an hour or two on each side (depending on the material). You don’t want to use any kind of dryer because it will damage the material and make it more likely that your shoes will rip.
If you want an even easier way to maintain your sneakers, consider investing in an affordable shoe brush made from natural wood fibers—the bristles are softer than those found in steel brushes, so you won’t risk damaging your favorite pair!
If you get dirty sneakers, clean them quickly so they don’t become moldy.

- Don’t let your sneakers sit in a pile of dirt and dust. Dirt has a way of sticking to any surface and can cause nasty stains on your shoes that are hard to get rid of.
- Don’t use harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia to clean your shoes! These products can damage the fibers in your sneaker material, making it softer than before (and more likely to rip). Instead try using warm water and mild soap—but only if there isn’t any visible dirt on the fabric itself; too much scrubbing may weaken the stitching around its seams which could eventually lead to ripping during wear-and-tear over time (which can happen when you stretch out denim jeans for instance).
- If possible try not soaking them overnight because this will cause them lose shape over time if left damp for long periods at once; instead give them some extra drying space by setting aside somewhere warm but not hot like an airing cupboard until ready/needed again later tonight after work tomorrow morning.”
Conclusion
If you’re in a hurry and can’t go to the store, consider washing your sneakers at home. This is an easy way to get rid of dirt and mud that might otherwise build up over time. If you choose this method of cleaning, it’s important that you follow some simple guidelines first:
- make sure your sneakers are machine washable;
- use soft water;
- don’t put any liquid detergent or bleach into the washing machine empty because these could cause damage to the material (although many brands offer special products designed just for this purpose). If possible, hand wash white sneakers using a mild detergent like Woolite or Dreft which will help keep them looking clean longer without damaging their outer layer; once they have all been done dry off with towels or air dryers until ready for use again (which shouldn’t take more than 24 hours).
