Indoor slippers often wear out faster than any other shoes. Given the particular fabric of which they are made, they require a special wash. But not everyone wants to wash their slippers by hand when there is a machine at home. Therefore, it is worth considering how to wash slippers in a washing machine.
Can I wash slippers in the AGR
The danger of washing slippers in the washing machine is not in their possible damage, but in harm to the equipment itself. Suppose you decide to wash ordinary Chinese glued slippers. When washing, they safely stick out, and the drum is filled with threads, cardboard and other garbage. Part of this “good” goes into the filter, clogging it at best, at worst - the pump and drain pipe. And part of the pieces can get into the tank and stick to the walls.
Important! Before washing slippers in the AGR, make sure their quality. Washing low-quality slippers is dangerous for the machine itself.
Inspect the shoes: if the sole is glued, but not sewn, or maybe already partially peeled off, it is better to wash it by hand. If the slippers are of high quality, and you are sure that they will not fall apart during washing, you can proceed to the next stage.
Tips: how to wash slippers so that they do not deteriorate
No matter what your home slippers are: terry or felt, the main thing is that they are made in good faith. After making sure that the shoes are of good quality, you can start preparing indoor shoes for automatic washing. Training:
- Inspect the shoes again. There should be no tearing elements and protruding threads on it. If you find flaws, first sew the product.
- Put the shoes in the case. If you don’t have a special bag on hand, take an old pillowcase.
