Do you throw your runners in the washing machine? (1 Viewer)

[hermie]

Well? I haven't but really need to. Should I be worried about the consequences?

It can be risky.

If you have a "freshen up" or "rinse" setting they'd probably be safest.

You can potentially wreck the washing machine and/or your runners.

i do it a lot. i've no idea are there any negatives, i just find it massively entertaining to hear them kicking around in there.

30 degrees, wool wash, pillowcase. jab done.

 

[Pedronimus]

I'll go along with the above. I do mine all the time on a gentle wash and minimal detergent.

 

[dudley]

aye, stick them in a pillow case, and maybe put a few towels in too

 

[ernesto]

There's a "sneakers" setting on our washing machine - never used it

 

[theoootini]

What the dude here said.

Tuck the laces well into the body of the shoe, tie them up, or take them out altogether.

Do not put them in the dryer. Apart from the fact that they'll dry perfectly well standing on their toes over a rad, some of them are full of chemicals and extended high heating is not always good.

Don't put anything with a waterproof lining in the washing machine and expect it to last.

And last, but most importantly, have fun!

To work? My road is a building site at the minute. And I've got athlete's foot...

Quality post. Cheers Mr Tomorrow

Don't put it on a high heat. Some plastic bits in the ankles of an old pair of mine melted and made them unwearable. REALLY ANNOYING.
