We can’t put every shoe directly in the dryer because that’s how shoes go and the glue they’re attached to gets wet and separates from the shoe sole. Shoes that are made of fabric, such as canvas and cotton sneakers, can easily be put in the dryer and they are washable. 

   If you dry your shoes in a clothes dryer they won’t last long, it’s better to dry them in the sun or under a fan.

How to dry your shoes in the right way?

Check the label of your shoe:-

If there is a cross above the circle, the shoe cannot be washed. But don’t worry I will guide you below on which stuff are shoes are washable and which are not, so read the article carefully.

Soak the shoes in the water:- 

       Soak your shoes in the water for a while and then put a little surf on the uppers and wash them well by scrubbing them with a brush. It is the easy and best step for washing shoes. Washing in this way will not damage your shoes and will last longer. 

Fasten the laces of the shoe:-

     Whenever you start washing your shoes in the machine, fasten their laces. This way the shoes will be washed well. If you take off their straps, they will come undone, thus ruining them. And if you tie them together, they will stay together and be cleaned easily.  

     Tie them up and put them inside the dryer or hang them next to the door of the dryer so their soles won’t separate and they will clean well.

Do the right setting in the dryer:-

              You want to set your dryer correctly. Automatic machines have the option, but you still want to check the shoes every once in a while to make sure they are getting clean. If there is no option in the machine, wash the shoes by keeping the temperature of the machine on low.

             There is an option for 60 minutes in the automatic machine, but during these 60 minutes, you have to check it again and again because if you wash it for a long time, the shoe will get damaged and rough and the cable will not last.

              Every time you wash your shoes, put them under the wind or a fan to dry them. This will neither discolor them nor shrink them because most of the time, leaving the shoes in the sun will damage the shoes.

Can your shoes Dry on Sun?
