Can I put my shoes in the washing machine?Updated 2 months ago
Despite temptation to place your dirty shoes in the washing machine, we strongly, would not recommend doing this.
Leather is a hydrophobic material meaning it does not react well with water. This combined with the spin of the washing machine can both irreparably damage the leather and structure of your shoes.
If your shoes have become dirty, we'd recommend brushing all loose dirt off with a soft cloth or brush and then using Collonil Classic Clean & Care Foam to remove marks, following the instructions carefully. For more persistent marks or scuffs, you can use a polish in the same shade as your shoes.
