This is the way I've always done my sneakers for years now even before I'd seen this video. The only thing is I never put them in the washing machine. I do it in the bathtub and use a scrub brush. Works like a charm! I put my sneakers outside in the sun. I rotate them around too. Then when they are bone dry and the laces are dry I lace them up and it's such a pleasure to put on clean sneakers. Like they are new again and they smell so good too. Quick tip..... I found out that dollar tree has this magic eraser thing that comes in a plastic pack of one single sponge but I use them on the rubber outside sole part of the sneaker and it takes all the dirt off. It works so good too. I suppose you could use regular magic erasers but the one sold at dollar tree is specifically for shoes and has a rougher part in the sponge that gets hard to rub off areas. And not bad for a dollar. I think I did 2 pairs of sneakers with one dollar tree sponge and then it started to break up and had to throw it away but it does the job well.
@@ms.coleman4535 It's the kind that you use on floors or for cleaning the tire of a car. Flat, long . Some come with a handle some without. A scrub brush. I got mines at the dollar tree but you can find them most anywhere. Dollar general, family dollar, Walmart.
This is so through! I especially like the tips of how to dry them in the dryer. However it seems to be a lot of work for the hand cleaning part. I don't have that kind of patience. I usually dust the shoes, take off the laces, then throw them in the wash machine on a normal cycle, they came out clean enough for me. Then I air dry them outside if it is sunny. They look as good as new.
You demonstrated this so well Sophie! Thank you for sharing! My husband just bought me a really nice new pair of shoes so this video definitely gave me good tips for when I go to clean them! Thank you!
You really see a big difference in all 3 pairs of shoes especially your blue ones. My shoes need some serious cleaning so will try out your methods this afternoon. I learned alot of new tips so I know I will see a difference in my own shoes!😊 Thank you!
This was so good. I totally ruined a pair of sneakers by throwing them in the wash but I have a newer pair that I really need to clean. I’m going to try this method for sure.
Helpful tips. Looks like you are working with a front-loading dryer. I would recommend a removable shoe rack for drying shoes. The shoe rack keeps the shoes in one place while drying.
I don’t know if I missed it but, what did you do with the soles of the shoes. You took them out and I noticed you didn’t bag them and when you left with all the bags - the soles where still in the sink. So do you just let them sit in the sink? Can they not go in the washer also? Just curious. Thanks for the video👍🏻
The music is weird, I feel like it's trying to hard to hype me up to clean shoes 🤣 I feel like doing a task like this would be less stressful if we all had a clean kitchen and massive sink like yours. 🥰 Thank you for your video. I wonder if the efficacy changes depending on the detergent.
Lots of ways to wash shoes, though I recommend hand washing only as the washing machines can be rough and destructive to shoes. The most difficult part is drying shoes completely. Air drying outside is best. Can also put in a warm room, such as a furnace room. Dryers can be destructive to shoes, unless you have a rack that can keep the shoes from tumbling.
Did you set the washing machine to warm water or cold? I had a rack for the dryer to set shoes on but I didn't know what it was or where it came from so I think it may have been thrown out🤦😁
I did not use washing bag, just put the shoes in by themselves. I saw no damage either to the shoes or to the washing machine. Am I OK? I am a bit paranoid I did damage that I have not discovered yet. Thank you.
Also washing your dirty outdoor shoes, in the kitchen sink? :o Where you prep food and wash dishes? I hope you used atleast bleach liberally in and around that sink afterwards
Yup! The kitchen sink is easy to deep clean and sanitize, we do it often over here. Similar to washing fresh fruits and veggies in the sink after having raw meat in there, the kitchen sink often needs a good clean between different things that go in there!
Great tips :) How often do you do this? I usually only clean the exterior of my shoes by hand with Dawn and a cleaning toothbrush (used exclusively for my shoes). But the idea of getting the insides clean too (and less smelly) is appealing... I just worry that they'll wear out faster this way...
Thanks you! Yes this definitely helps with the smell. It is something I only do every now and then, I wouldn't do it more than twice a year to preserve the life of your shoes.
No reason for all these extra steps. I just throw my runners in the washing machine, use hot water, detergent and oxy powder. I keep laces in. They come out perfect.
I live in an apartment and don't have a laundry room sink. I gave it a nice clean before putting my shoes in there so it is the best place for me to wash them!
@@conniesapphire5296 No not at all! Happy to answer all questions and take advice! ☺️ We only have one small little bucket that would maybe only fit one pair 🙈🤷🏽♀️
Hmm washing shoes that touch god knows what on the bottom of the shoes is ok. I guess deep cleaning a toilet brush in the kitchen is normal too. 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Don't see why that is an issue! You can easily clean a sink! People have raw meat in their sink and then will wash fruits/veggies, you just need to clean your sink in between.
Washing your shoes in a washer is totally Outrageous! I don't care what the shoe label says. Washing shoes like these with heavy/thick soles will for example damage the washing machines drum! So these tips and video is very irresponsible. The glues and adhesives located in different places on/in the shoes maybe will be unaffected by washing the shoes in low temperatures but still its an unnecessary risk. Don't risk your machines life nor your shoes quality of life following this video:/
Not outrageous at all, it's a very common way to wash shoes. Whirlpool, the manufacturer for my washing machine, actually has an article on their website on how to wash shoes in the washing machine.

That can be a really great strategy especially for shoes you cant put in the washer! Oh great tip about the dollar tree sponge! thank you!!
What kind of scrub brush did you use and where did you purchase it?
@@ms.coleman4535 It's the kind that you use on floors or for cleaning the tire of a car. Flat, long . Some come with a handle some without. A scrub brush. I got mines at the dollar tree but you can find them most anywhere. Dollar general, family dollar, Walmart.

It was so soothing to watch your process. Thanks for the helpful and informative video!

Thank you! Oh yay!! What a nice husband 😊
@@SophisticatedOrganization I think he finally got tired of me complaining my feet hurt 😅
@@CleanSimpleTogether 😂😂😂
I had never heard to stuff your shoes before drying them, great idea thanks
So happy you found a new tip!
I just throw my shoes in the wash but now I have learn something that will help if they don't come clean. Thanks for sharing
Happy to help, just a couple of extra steps and they turn out sparkling clean!
You really see a big difference in all 3 pairs of shoes especially your blue ones.
My shoes need some serious cleaning so will try out your methods this afternoon. I learned alot of new tips so I know I will see a difference in my own shoes!😊 Thank you!
The blue ones were soo dirty!! 🙈 I hope it works well for you too!
Oooh I’m going to try this method with some of my dirty shoes!! Yours looked so clean at the end! 🤩
Yay! Thank you! 🎉
This was so good. I totally ruined a pair of sneakers by throwing them in the wash but I have a newer pair that I really need to clean. I’m going to try this method for sure.
Definitely be careful with the type of shoe you put in the wash and making sure you have the settings correct! It can be so sad to ruin a pair!!
Helpful tips. Looks like you are working with a front-loading dryer. I would recommend a removable shoe rack for drying shoes. The shoe rack keeps the shoes in one place while drying.
Thanks for the video. I came to learn how to clean my sneakers in the washing machine. I wish you would’ve went over the settings you used.
This process really works Sophie, super difference, usually I would just use a scrub brush and soap. Thanks for sharing 💯👍💕
It really did!! So much happier with my nice clean shoes!
I don’t know if I missed it but, what did you do with the soles of the shoes. You took them out and I noticed you didn’t bag them and when you left with all the bags - the soles where still in the sink. So do you just let them sit in the sink?

Cool video! Cool music too, it added value to your production.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks a ton!
So helpful! Thank you!!!
I have washed canvas shoes in the machine for years with no problems.
Cute collection of shoes! 😁 Doing it right now. Thank you!
Have fun! Thank you!!
The music is weird, I feel like it's trying to hard to hype me up to clean shoes 🤣

Thank you for your video. I wonder if the efficacy changes depending on the detergent.
Thanks 😊 video is simple and clear. Well done 👏
Thanks so much!
Are those cut Cutco knives in the background?
Good video but you do not mention 3 things. What temperature, gentle setting? and for how long
Thank you I will try it
All the best
Thanks for great info. I have been binging your playlists.
Awesome! Thank you! 💗 I really appreciate that and hope you enjoy!
Your shoes are so cute and they came out extremely clean! Great technique! ✅
Thanks Jenny!! I don’t know why I waited so long to clean them!!
Thanks for the tips- love the way you did this. 💕
Thanks so much! 😊

Thank you!
great tutorial very helpful! thankyou ❤
Great video! I will be trying this for sure! What setting did you use in your washer?
A cold delicate cycle does the trick!
Do you add detergent again to the washing machine???! thanks!
Yes I do!
Heat destroys the glues that attach rubberized soles to the shoe body. Dryer is not good for them. You are correct, very very low to no heat.
Great tutorial thank you
Should have give temp , condition and time of washing and drying.
This is good to know my 17 year old to VXCC and want to keep their shoes clean. Dollar Tree carries sneakers erasers that clean scuffs.
Sneaker erasers are so great!!
I about went crazy watching u unlace everyone !!!!!!🫣
Thank you for sharing.
AAah The cloth in the shoe!!! I've learned something. lol
I love hearing you learned something and found the video helpful! Makes my day!! 😊🐚
Did you set the washing machine to warm water or cold? I had a rack for the dryer to set shoes on but I didn't know what it was or where it came from so I think it may have been thrown out🤦😁
I'm going to try this up until the point of the dryer. I am not taking a chance with my dryer, so I will be air drying the sneakers.
I did not use washing bag, just put the shoes in by themselves. I saw no damage either to the shoes or to the washing machine. Am I OK? I am a bit paranoid I did damage that I have not discovered yet. Thank you.

I thought the same thing. I saw another video that soaked her shoes in a bucket. I might go that route
I probably wouldn't wash my shoes in my kitchen sink. I questioned that a little. I love how helpful the video is but won't wash in the kitchen
I saw someone spray her kids shoes with Dawn Powerwash and that worked really well too!
That's awesome! I still need to try the dawn powerwash! I have heard such great things!
Also, shout out works well.
Thanks!
😮
Thanks for watching!

Washing the machine😊
you got it!
Do people really think the dirt from shoes is any worse then the raw meat juice/other gross items put into sinks
clean shoes in kitchen sink? Oh, my!
Yup, why not!
Settle down lactose intolerant soy saturated wimp. It’s just a sink. She’s not performing autopsies in it. 🙄
She never mentions the water temperature
Just put shoes in washer machines with towel.... If ruined, get a new pair... Simple..
No reason for all these extra steps. I just throw my runners in the washing machine, use hot water, detergent and oxy powder. I keep laces in. They come out perfect.
All that manual labor, you might as well hand wash them.
Do you mean Tennis Shoes (to play tennis) or Running Shoes (to run)???? There are differences!
Depends where you live. Midwest folks say tennis shoes. It’s all relative though. 🧐
I just let my shoes air dry for a day.
Beauty woman. Kisses.
A little overkill on pre washing.
i n t h e s i n k ??????!!!!!!!
Sorry, but completely soaking your running shoes into water is not a great idea. Its literally will make S**t the cushioning.
Good to know! I haven't had that issue!
@@SophisticatedOrganization did you washed any carbon plated shoes by complete soaking? My Vaporfly Next %. Damaged completely.
Why would you wash shoes in your kitchen sink?
I live in an apartment and don't have a laundry room sink. I gave it a nice clean before putting my shoes in there so it is the best place for me to wash them!
@@SophisticatedOrganization try using a bucket. I'm sorry if I sound judgemental. Not my intention at all. Just observation.
@@conniesapphire5296 No not at all! Happy to answer all questions and take advice! ☺️ We only have one small little bucket that would maybe only fit one pair 🙈🤷🏽♀️
Because it's easy to clean & disinfect afterward? 🤷🏼♀️
Why wouldn’t you?
Hmm washing shoes that touch god knows what on the bottom of the shoes is ok. I guess deep cleaning a toilet brush in the kitchen is normal too. 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
That’s way too much time and effort. I’ll just keep my dirty shoes 😂
Hahaha well if they ever get soooo dirty you are thinking about tossing them then this may be worth it! 😉
You are cleaning them where you wash your dishes!!!??? EEEWWWW
Yup! You can clean the sink! think of all the other things that go in there, like raw meat. A good scrub and the sink is as good as clean/new!
You don’t know how to clean your sink??
Dirty dishes, Dirty shoes. What's the problem?
OMG! washing dirty shoes in kitchens sink?!
OMG in the kitchen sink yikes 🥱😵🤮🤮🤮
Don't see why that is an issue! You can easily clean a sink! People have raw meat in their sink and then will wash fruits/veggies, you just need to clean your sink in between.
@@SophisticatedOrganization right!!! Like do they not Clorox their sink every day??? Weird
Keep in mind that people walk their dogs and we may inadvertently step in urine, poop and other things without even knowing. But to each their own 🫣
Sinks are NOT porous material and can so easily be disinfected. Get a grip. 🥴
Sinks are made to quickly & easily clean & sanitize so there's not an issue, unless it's just a "thang" to you. Everyone has limits 😉
In the kitchen sink?😮
Easy to clean after!
Why??
You prepare your food there. That’s why you have your bathroom.
Seems it’s easier to just buy a new pair of shoes 😂
Really doesn't take that long, but new shoes is definitely and option
She cleaned those sneakers in the kitchen sink....such a poor wife
Good think we have soap to clean the sink!
@@SophisticatedOrganization it's not only about cleanliness, but more about culture and self-respect 🙌🏼
