SuperGa in washing machine?

6 replies

Can I put my white SuperGa in the washing machine? Pro tip - don't wear white canvas shoes in a desert...
Will they fall apart? Break the drum?! Any idea what cycle to put them on? My old cheap washing machine had a 'special wash shoes' setting, the new expensive machine? No... Hmm

yes- short wash low temp with some old towels to stop them thumping around. air dry, tumble dryer will knacker the rubber (bitter experience)

I've put mine in an old pillowcase secured with a hair bobble before!

Thank you, especially for the towel tip. Hadn't thought at all about the awful noise it would make.

I have two pairs of white superga, the only thing that gets them clean is using soda crystals in the washing machine & then a delicate wash. Usually takes two washes to get them really looking good.

Yes, I just sling them in on a 60 degree hot wash.

Not Superga but my New Balance trainers came up lovely when i dunked them in a bucket of water and scrubbed them with a nailbrush and soap then stuffed with newspaper and left to dry.
