Cleaning trainers advice

Got some grass and soil stains on my Adidas trainers this afternoon, usually bang them in the washer but i'm not sure about these type with the nylon and suede, was thinking of trying some vax shampoo and hot water

they look a bit gay , bin them buy some knew ones

And here's me thinking i'm a trendiest on the bowling green

boil them in vinegar for twenty minutes and they'll shine like a star

ive washed suede stuff on trainers before and they have been ok.a cool quick wash should be ok.



















































but dont blame me if it all goes pear shaped

Don't put them in the washing machine. Ruins shoes and ruins drum.

Shit trainers

excuse me bert, but as a mature housewife i have washed loads of trainers from toddlers to my sons size 11 so i believe I speak with more authority than you :queen:

Don't get me wrong, MG, the "pillow case, low temperature" is not wasted on me but all advice I've ever been given in recent times suggests that washing machines aren't built for the job any more and everything from panels to stitching is weakened by the bleaching agents in the detergent.

It's a pity, because it makes the job a piece of piss otherwise.

So, mature housewife, not put off by a size 11, eh... (#2 of 2011)
