DELICATE CLOTHING:
Wash delicate clothes inside the Washobag, such as: linen, linen or lingerie; It will always add extra care and safety when washing them. Different garments can be combined inside and outside the bag in the same wash cycle. The use of the bag will avoid excessive friction, snags and will help reduce wrinkles in the wash.
ACCESSORIES:
Wash accessories inside Washobag. For example: belts with buckles or sports equipment that can incorporate hard parts such as: soccer shin guards, water polo helmets or removable parts of a motorcycle helmet; It is highly recommended, since inside the bag you avoid hitting the steel of the drum, protecting both the accessories and the washing machine itself and, in turn, avoiding possible snags with other fabrics that may be washing at the same time, avoiding damage between the clothes.
PET ACCESSORIES:
Wash pet accessories inside Washobag. For example: Game ropes, rubber balls or blankets and sheets; It will avoid strong impacts within the operation of your washing machine, as well as that pet hair can cause a possible breakdown in your appliance, leaving these collected inside the bag. In the latter case, to clean the bag later, first let the bag dry. Then turn it over and shake, brush or clean with a lint roller.
FOOTWEAR:
It is true that there are more and more brands that advertise that their footwear is suitable for machine washing. But this does not imply that impacts will not be generated inside our appliance, which can damage it and it is always recommended to remove the cords, because there is a danger that they slip through the edge of the drum, becoming hooked, blocking the motor and causing serious breakdowns. In addition, removing and putting the laces has never been a thankful job.
Washing footwear inside Washobag solves the two main problems mentioned above. 1. Strong impacts are avoided by protecting footwear and electrical appliances. 2. It is not necessary to remove the shoelaces for washing.
Cloth footwear.
Cloth shoes made of elastic, canvas, or cotton should only be cycled on a 30-minute fast cycle at cool temperatures or 30ºC maximum.
They should also be in a low spin, like 700 revs or less, to keep them protected.
Following these steps should keep the shoes protected from exposure to too much water for a long period of time and minimize the chances of the shoes shrinking while removing stains.
Leather footwear.
Leather sneakers can be washed in the washing machine, but only cold.
However, machine-washed sneakers can weaken the "binding agents" in the leather, so they are "best avoided" whenever possible.
Suede footwear.
It is not recommended to put suede shoes in the washing machine or hand wash them with soapy water.
Suede actually absorbs water, which means putting them in the washing machine could lead to stains on the fabric.
Calcium and magnesium in water can leave white marks, so it's important to protect these types of shoes before even wearing them on a rainy day.
It is recommended to remove the templates. The stencils are delicate and can be completely destroyed if placed in the washing machine.
Shoe insoles can be very delicate, usually made from a mixture of rubber with other soft materials. With heat, delicate materials can be damaged, disintegrate and/or shrink.
It is best to hand wash the insoles in cold or lukewarm water to remove any odor or sweat. Add just a tablespoon of liquid or powder detergent if you need to remove the toughest stains.
Correct temperature and cycle
It is best to always wash footwear with cold water, regardless of the material it is. A 30C wash can be used as this will still clean the shoe but prevent shrinkage.
Put the washing machine setting on a slow and/or medium spin cycle (max 700 revolutions per minute) to prevent the shoe from hitting too much.
Always dry shoes on the clothesline or in the open air and never in the dryer.
Make sure to stretch them out again when they are wet, and then let them dry naturally.
Finally, always check the label to find out what material it's made of, and if you're still not sure, you can always check with the manufacturer. Many brands come with a care guide or will have online resources.
In all cases, never forget to follow the washing recommendations that each manufacturer details on the labels of each garment.
