Can I put my Converse in the washing machine?

Canvas ones obviously! White ones and red ones.

I scrub them by hand with a Vanish bar, but feel they could be cleaner.

Yes you can, at 40 degrees with one Ariel liquitab. One pair per wash only.

Fab!

mines are still drying but doesn't seem to be any lasting damage.

Am back to 'new-trainer' syndrome though (too white)
