Is it safe to stick your converse boots in the washing machine?

Question

They're my son's extremely cute lime green pair and I really don't want to ruin them!

Answer 1

put them on a cool wash, I wouldnt recommend the dryer tho ;p

Answer 2

I used to, wet them and rub with a bar of Vanish soap, don't use detergent as it will fade them. Take out the laces and put them in an old pillowcase. Use a short wash.

Answer 3

i have converse boots too and its chuck taylor...

i often get uncomfy to see it very dirty...but i believe other chemicals may ruin it and im not that kind of a laundry person, so all i do is rub it with a rag wet with water but squeezed....

so i guess that could remove the dirt safety but requires a lot of effort...

good luck=]

Answer 4

OMG NO!!
Please don't do that

Use a brush and a mild cleansing detergent and scrub it clean. Not too hard or the fabric will be ruined from abrasion.

Answer 5
