Bags for washing shoes in a washing machine: what is such a cover for, how to use it, what to replace the bag with and how to make it yourself?

Washing clothes in a washing machine is not always gentle. Even when set to the delicate setting, delicate fabrics may be damaged and decorative trim may come off. To prevent this from happening, use a laundry bag.

Mesh covers can be used not only for things with decor, but also for small items: socks, gloves, tights. Read the article on how to choose a laundry bag and use it correctly.

Working on errors + TOP 5 most common ones

If there are yellow spots on the sole after washing, paint them over with special paint. As a last resort, take it to a shoemaker and he will paint it.
If, after washing and drying, suede shoes have shrunk and lost their pattern, hold them over steam and “comb” them with a brush in the direction of the pile.
To prevent crosses from losing color, use a paint fixative. Add a tablespoon of 9% vinegar to 0.5 buckets of water, lower the “runners” for 20 minutes. And only after that put it in the washing machine.
If the items turn yellow after washing, bleach them with lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide, and then rinse.
Are the reflective elements peeling off or falling off? Paint them with acrylic paint. True, after the next wash you will have to repeat it again and again. For a permanent effect, buy and glue new elements; they are sold in shoe, stationery or handicraft stores.

Instructions for use

Without exception, all manufacturers of shoe bags include instructions for use with their products, strongly recommending users to follow its provisions. How to properly handle a shoe washing bag?

First you need to carefully examine your dirty shoes. If there are labels on it that allow you to judge

whether it can be washed in a machine or not - great, if there are no labels, then look on the Internet. Very often on the shoe manufacturer’s website you can find recommendations regarding washing their products. After making sure that the shoes can be washed, we carefully clean them of adhering leaves, needles, pieces of resin and ordinary street dirt. To make the work go faster, you can use a cloth or brush.

Remove the insoles from the shoes and pull out all the laces. They should not be washed with shoes. Next, open the washing bag, put the shoes in it, close the bag and put it in the drum of the washing machine. Be careful when washing special shoes, such as sneakers, as they may require a special bag. Read more about this in the article Selecting and using a bag for washing sneakers.

Now pour a little liquid shoe detergent into the powder cuvette. If this is not available, you can use regular washing gel at your own risk. You should not use dry washing powder; its granules dissolve more slowly, which means they can ruin your shoes. Close the cuvette, select the “Shoes” or “Gentle Wash” washing program, or something similar, turn off the spin cycle, and press start. We wait for the program to end, and then take out the shoes and dry them in a well-ventilated place.

Buy or make?

Experts agree that it is better to buy a special bag than to waste something trying to find a replacement. But there are situations in life when you feel the urge to wash your shoes, but you don’t have a bag and you don’t have time to go shopping specifically to look for it. In such an exceptional situation, you can do the following:

take an old pillowcase;
put several small clean rags in it;
prepare shoes for washing as described above;
put it in a pillowcase between rags;
we sew up the pillowcase with several sweeping stitches, or fasten it with buttons, if any;

After this, you can put the shoes in a pillowcase in the drum of the washing machine and start the wash, as described above. Let's face it, the result of washing in such an improvised bag will be different from shoes washed in a professional bag, but for lack of a better one it will do. At least you won't ruin your shoes.

What if you don't use it?

It remains to raise the last question, which logically follows from the above narrative, namely, what happens if you wash shoes in an automatic washing machine without a special bag? Let's say right away - nothing good. After the first wash, shoes in 80% of cases lose their appearance: they become wrinkled, abrasions appear on them, and traces of detergent remain.

In a word, if you want to kill your shoes, put them in the washing machine without a bag and wash them at 60 degrees with a spin cycle. After this, she will most likely go to the trash heap. If the shoes are not too dirty, it is better not to wash them in the machine at all, wash them by hand in the traditional way. Don't be lazy, and then your shoes will last much longer and maintain their appearance.

Color Traps

Traps from different companies work on the same principle - they leave paint particles on them, which are washed out of clothes. This is also true in cases where multi-colored items are washed in one go, and when, for example, you don’t want to turn a white sundress with a red floral print into a pink one with a less bright pattern. I put these napkins in the washing machine and my clothes don’t fade. But there are also incidents. My wife washed different colors in the same load for the first time, but the laundry tablet got stuck on the drum lid and the color catcher popped out, so now everything is slightly pink. © howef / Reddit

“I just discovered color trap napkins and they are amazing! I washed all these things at once, but nothing faded!”

Color traps are reusable and disposable. Although users advise napkins, which according to the instructions should be thrown away after each wash, be used twice if they are not heavily stained. Magnetic napkins are also produced for both colored items and only white ones. At a laundry abroad I was given strange white napkins. I didn't know what they were for. I repeated after other visitors: I put them in the drum before washing. Only a few years later I found out that, it turns out, these are magnetic napkins. I will use it. Someone makes magnetic napkins by hand. Here is the method: take 1 glass of water, 1 tablespoon of baking soda for washing and trimming white fabric. Mix water and soda. After the soda dissolves, place napkins into the liquid. After the fabric has been soaked, it must be dried and then used for washing.

How to sew it yourself?

How to replace an expensive device? Many housewives prefer to sew covers themselves. It costs less, and if the work is done well, the products can last much longer than their industrial counterparts. Especially when it comes to cheap Chinese products. For sewing you will need:

old tulle curtains;
hidden zipper 50 cm;
sewing machine;
scissors and ruler;
colored chalk;
white threads.

The sizes can be any, you can sew several options - for large and small loads. You can focus on the sizes used by manufacturers - 30x40, 50x70, 150x120 cm. Take the average size first - 60x60 cm. If you lay out the pattern, you will get a rectangle of 120x60 cm. How to sew the case itself, the procedure:

The fabric is laid out. The zipper is pinned at one end with pins. The clasp should be positioned in the center.
Attach a zipper.
Fold the fabric so that the opposite edge covers the second part of the zipper. The clasp is unfastened and stitched.
The areas that were not covered by lightning are sewn in advance on both sides.
The result is a zipper sewn along a closed ring.
There are only minor things left - you need to sew up the holes on the side. To do this, the ring is turned inside out so that the clasp is turned inside out.

How to make a bag with your own hands?

If you don’t want to purchase a finished product, you can sew it yourself, especially since there is nothing complicated about it, the main thing is to choose the right material. Some use polyester, organza, while other craftsmen have adapted old tulle for this purpose. Experts advise not to sew very large models, since they are not easy to use. It is much more convenient to choose a format of 60x60 or 50x70 cm - depending on the preferred shape.

The procedure is as follows:

you need to cut out the required square or rectangle on the fabric;
a closed zipper is carefully sewn to one end of the material, exactly in the middle;
Now you should fold the material so that its second end falls on the zipper;
the second half of the zipper is also attached (you should get a design - a “ring” connected by a “snake” on both sides);
Next, you should run a line along those parts of the “sides” of the future bag where the lightning did not reach;
the next step is to sew up the side holes;
All that remains is to turn the resulting bag inside out so that the zipper is inside.

The duration of the work will be an hour and a half.

The drawstring bag is also easy to sew. First, the upper part of the future bag is folded and stitched to create a small insert - this is where the lacing will be passed. Next, the product is sewn together, after which a lace is inserted (it must be long enough). If you wish, you can make such an accessory from mesh, it will turn out very interesting, no worse than a store-bought one.

How can I replace a bag for washing shoes?

A laundry cover can be used as a protective bag.
Sometimes in sports stores, along with a pair of sneakers, the buyer is given a cover. The manufacturer suggests that this thing is used only as a carrying shoe for training. But theoretically, if the design and functionality allow, you can safely wash your sneakers in such a bag. As a budget alternative, use old pillowcases. The main condition is non-fading natural material. A small product 50 by 50 cm is ideal. For safety, you should fasten the pillowcase or baste the hole with thread.

If you are comfortable with a sewing machine, try making a cover yourself. To do this, use durable natural fabric, preferably light in color. Don't forget to attach a zipper or drawstring.

Before washing, check the fabric for color fastness. Rub the surface with a damp swab. If it is stained, then there is a high probability that the shoes will take on some of the color. Choose only non-fading products.

Pouch for carrying tights

It never hurts to carry spare tights or stockings with you.
But branded cardboard packaging takes up too much space in a lady's handbag. And even the boxes in which some manufacturers pack their tights so that you can always carry a “spare” with you are inconvenient: they tear quickly. If you take the tights out of the cardboard packaging, leaving them only in the plastic case, then, firstly, they will quickly come out of it, and secondly, the polyethylene rustles. Tights bags are designed specifically to give you somewhere to put spare tights. The amorphous pouch takes up minimal space in your bag and does not cause any inconvenience. Ribbon ties, elastic bands or ties prevent the tights from getting out and tangling everything in the bag. In a word, a fabric bag is a kind of organizer for tights.

Bag for tights

Terms of use

In order for the device to perform its useful functions to the maximum, you must follow simple rules:

The accessory is filled to no more than 3/4 of its volume.

It is important that things are not packed end to end, otherwise they will not be washed properly. It is necessary to check that the frame and clasp are not damaged, and before sending it to the car, that the bag is tightly closed. Washing powder or detergent is not poured out or poured into the bag. There are special compartments in the washing machine for this purpose. Do not overload the washing machine

The cover should rotate freely in it. It is allowed to load several covers into the machine, but the total weight should not exceed the maximum provided by the manufacturer. After use, the bag must be dried and stored tightly closed. Do not dry it near or on heating objects. It is recommended to hang it on a rope and wait until it dries naturally.

How to use?

Don't stuff them too full, otherwise things won't stretch well. Approximately 1/3 of the volume should be left free.
Several nets can be placed in the drum at the same time, the main thing is that the weight does not exceed the permissible load.
You can’t put powder in bags - this also happens. Detergent should only be poured into special trays.
Locks should be closed tightly so that they do not come unfastened or come undone if they are laces.

Where to buy a useful device? In specialized stores or online stores. This is an affordable product available in a wide range.

What is washed in bags?

Lingerie. Bags allow you to preserve the attractive appearance and integrity of lace panties and bras, and other delicate items of women's wardrobe. Lingerie for women is not cheap. There are also expensive handmade models among them. Having special covers, you don’t have to risk the integrity of expensive bras, panties, handkerchiefs and other small items.
Tights. This item of women's wardrobe is especially vulnerable. Washing them without a bag is more expensive for yourself. They like to cling to other things, so after the machine they tear and become unusable.
Knitwear and knitted items. Thanks to this useful device, they do not stretch or lose their shape, and their fibers are not damaged.
Jackets and down jackets. When washing jackets, problems may arise due to the numerous hard fittings - there may be locks, buttons, buttons, or other accessories that are dangerous to the integrity of the surface of the drum.
Shoes. The mesh will protect the machine from hard parts and from the shoes themselves, which can also be quite hard.

What are they?

Criterias of choice

The bags offered on the market may vary:

shape;
sizes;
lock type;
material.

When choosing an option, you need to consider: what are the bags for? They vary depending on the purpose. So, a cover designed for a down jacket will not be suitable for shoes or bras.

Material of manufacture

The most common materials are polyester and nylon. They withstand high temperatures, do not shrink and are not deformed. These synthetic materials are wear-resistant, environmentally friendly and durable. Nylon can be reused many times without any damage to its properties and integrity. The material may have a different structure. There are bags:

solid - with a dense structure;
fine-mesh - mesh.

The shape is as simple as possible, not interfering with rotation, rinsing and spinning. Containers are:

cubic;
square;
spherical;
round;
cylindrical;
rectangular;
prismatic.

Purpose

To ensure comfortable conditions for all things, it is advisable to stock up on different types of covers - for shoes, underwear, bras. The latter, for example, to create the most delicate regime, are equipped with plastic “ribs” that guarantee the preservation of quality and shape. Such covers provide reliable protection for delicate fabrics and handmade items.

Dimensions and type of lock

When choosing an option, you need to consider the size and volume of things. Obviously, oversized jackets and all small linen items require covers of different capacities. To prevent things from falling out during rotation in the machine, the bags are equipped with:

lightning;
laces.

Recommendations for selection

· Things are washed and caressed better in a bulky bag than in a flat one. Tangling and twisting are avoided, because There is more free volume in such bags.
· When choosing a bag with a zipper, you need to check the presence of a lock. If it is missing, the bag may unzip at will during washing.
· When choosing between a zipper and a drawstring, we recommend washing items made from delicate fabrics in a bag with a drawstring, and thick, knitted, knitted items in bags with a zipper.
· A bag with a frame of 6-8 ribs is purchased for washing underwear with underwires to prevent deformation.
· It is better to immediately purchase several bags of different sizes. Then there will be no problems with washing large outerwear, as well as washing linen and small accessories.

Which washing machine bag to choose?

Washing bags do have very useful properties for effective washing, but not all of them. In fact, you need to be able to choose such devices, and make a choice taking into account the specifics of washing clothes in your case.

Recommendations for choosing a bag:

According to many users, flat bags are somewhat inferior in functionality and efficiency to bulk bags, which is explained by the fact that large devices are rinsed much better;
before purchasing a bag with a zipper, be sure to check the presence of a clip (lock) on the “pawl”; but if there is no lock, the problem can be solved by installing an elastic band at the beginning of the zipper, under which you then need to thread a slider;
It is recommended to wash bras with underwires and bras with hard cups only in frame bags;
the size of the product must be selected based on the volume of laundry that will need to fit in it (there are no universal stretchable models of bags or nets, they are all divided into subtypes according to size/volume);
there is no point in thinking about what is better - devices with a zipper or with a cord, both options are generally the same, because the zipper diverges and sometimes breaks, but the cord is not ideal - it often gets tangled and takes up a lot of space;
In connection with the previous point, it is recommended to wash items made from delicate fabrics in a device that is pulled together with a cord, and items that are tougher in bags that have a zipper/lock.

If you are confused in choosing a product or do not fully understand how to make the right choice, feel free to contact sales consultants in the store where this product is sold. Describe to them at what temperature conditions you wash things, in what quantity, what types of clothes are washed most often.

Why do you need a laundry bag?

If previously only some women used such bags, now such a convenient accessory is becoming more and more common. There are several reasons.

The bag helps to carefully wash delicate items: dresses, blouses, leggings.
You don’t have to collect small items like underpants, handkerchiefs and socks, just take them out of the bag and hang them up. If you have to wash them with bedding or larger clothes, then small items can get inside the duvet cover or shirt sleeve. Using comfortable cases helps solve this problem once and for all.
With their help, it is very convenient to wash expensive women's underwear - it will not lose its splendor. This particular washing method is the safest and will preserve rhinestones, lace and openwork embroidery.
This accessory is also used when washing tights. Of course, this can be done just like that, but nylon products often wrap around larger things, stretch, and snags can form on them. Using special bags allows you to avoid such problems.

In addition, this is the best way to put your outerwear in order - jackets or down jackets, which have a very large number of buttons, zippers, rivets and other accessories. When washing without a bag, they can come off - this not only ruins the clothes themselves, but also harms the drum. But if you place the product in a bag, problems can be avoided, and the quality of the wash will not suffer.

Types of washing nets

The market offers a wide variety of laundry covers. For convenience, they are classified according to certain parameters.

According to the material. The main ones are nylon and polyester. These synthetic fabrics are light, strong, durable, resistant to mechanical damage and stretching. They are resistant to moisture, detergent chemicals, and dirt. The materials are easy to care for - they are easy to wash, do not fade, dry quickly, and are not affected by mold. But they can become electrified upon contact with other tissues.

By structure. Mesh or dense with the addition of holes. The cells can have different sizes, it depends on what item the case is intended for.

In shape and volume. There are flat ones - round, square, rectangular, and volumetric ones - cylindrical, spherical, cubic, prismatic. To ensure the rigidity of the case, special frame inserts are provided.

To size. There is a large selection - from a small bag to a case that can even fit a coat. Capacity is indicated by the number of kilograms of laundry that can be loaded into the bag. Or the length and width of the bag in centimeters.

According to the closing method. The product may have a zipper or a tightening cord with a lock. These are the most common types of fasteners for it.

By type of item being loaded. There are for clothes and for shoes. The type of bags often differs, and it is convenient to use each one for its intended purpose.

By brand and price. Cases are produced by various manufacturers, so their cost is also relative. You can purchase one unit or a set of several pieces. But such a product does not belong to the category of expensive ones.

Advice: when buying a case, you should not overpay for the brand, since all products, in essence, have approximately the same quality.

How to wash bulk film after repair

During renovations, the most popular method of protecting furniture from dirt and dust was and remains wide film. It is not at all necessary to throw it away after finishing the work: the cape will remain unchanged for as long as desired until the next repair or whitewashing of the ceilings. However, it is not recommended to fold the film dirty, especially if it is transparent. At a minimum, rubbish will constantly fly off it, at a maximum, the sides will be easy to confuse, and dust and lime will fall on the furniture.

How to clean it? Large volumes most likely simply will not fit into the drum of the washing machine. In this case, Miss Clean magazine advises rinsing the film in the bathtub with water and adding a little dishwashing detergent or liquid soap.

The film does not accumulate water, so it dries quickly. For the same reason, it is worth laying an absorbent cloth under the dryer or placing a couple of basins. Automatic drying is strictly prohibited: the material does not tolerate high temperatures.

The same care is required annually for the covering film of greenhouses.

This is important so that the plants receive maximum light, and fungus, microbes and other particles dangerous to the sprouts do not accumulate on the surface

Hand or machine wash?

The easiest way is to throw the crosses into the car and start the race. However, not every shoe can withstand harsh treatment; some sneakers require a delicate approach.

Your precious crosses will serve faithfully!

Instructions for machine washing

Sports shoes are made of mesh materials, so dirt can easily get inside. You won't be able to clean these shoes by hand.
Sneakers that contain a lot of seams, into which a lot of dirt and dust gets clogged. Especially basketball shoes.
Sports shoes that smell bad.
The sneakers are very dirty and it is very difficult to wash them by hand.
Your shoes were marked by a pet or you walked into a crowd on the street.

Indications for hand washing

You are not sure that you bought quality shoes. Moreover, if the parts are not stitched, but glued.
Sneakers are made of leather, suede, nubuck (read below for how to clean them).
There is metal decor, rhinestones, reflectors. Or is it an insulated winter pair.
The shoes are damaged.
Running shoes have a special shock-absorbing layer; these will have to be washed by hand.

Varieties

Not all shoes can be washed in a washing machine, which is why the Russian market offers few bags for washing them. To be precise, there are 4 main types of such bags, let's do a short review and see their characteristics.

Wrowas. Quite an expensive shoe bag made in Europe, although very good. If anyone can be trusted with your sneakers or sneakers, it’s him. The bag protects shoes from mechanical wear during washing and does not allow poorly dissolved powder particles to pass through, which can damage the fabric of the shoes. Also, with this bag, washing shoes in a machine will be no different from washing any soft laundry - no extraneous noise!
Metalex. A simpler bag-like mesh designed for washing shoes in the washing machine. At first glance, the mesh looks simple, but in fact it is made of a material that is close in characteristics to rubber. Thanks to this, the mesh perfectly absorbs shock and vibration, perfectly protecting shoes from wear during washing.
Rayen. Very high quality mesh for washing shoes in a washing machine, made in Spain. The innovative material allows soapy water to pass through well, but does not allow undissolved detergent particles to pass through. With such a mesh, shoes are reliably protected from impacts on the washing machine drum, since they are framed by fairly thick rubber veins.
Eve. Russian mesh bag designed for washing shoes in a washing machine. Judging by consumer reviews, it protects shoes from damage much worse. But this bag does a good job of protecting shoe fabric from the effects of undissolved powder granules, and besides, it is 3 times cheaper than its foreign counterparts.

Advantages and disadvantages

There are many arguments for handling things using grids:

delicate washing of linen that cannot withstand high temperatures;
preservation of the shape of things, the quality of accessories, the integrity of fabrics;
care for shoes, jackets, coats without having to take them to dry cleaning;
knitted, woolen, viscose fabrics do not become covered with pills when washed;
the ability to clean surfaces that were previously processed only by hand;
Extending the life of high-quality operation of the washing machine.

But the device also has its downsides:

the need to have a whole line of laundry bags of different sizes and shapes for the entire wardrobe;
the presence of open parts on the mesh fasteners that can damage other clothing;
poor quality of washing and rinsing things when choosing the wrong bag.

All disadvantages can be avoided by carefully selecting bags before purchasing and following a few washing rules.

Why do you need a bag?

Linen can stretch and even tear during the washing phase. But usually the fabric experiences the greatest stress when it is spinning.

The product is deformed.
Beads, sequins, and rhinestones on thin items can be damaged by friction against the drum, as well as tear off and get stuck in the drain.
The underwires begin to “come out” from the bras, and then it will not be possible to return the underwire to its place.
It's a shame when expensive underwear becomes unusable.
Small items (socks, handkerchiefs, underpants) often get stuck in the cuff near the door, and also get tangled, twisted into knots, and clogged inside large items. They are not washed or wrung out and have to be washed extra. This is especially true for families with children. When using a mesh bag, small items are washed away effectively and do not get lost.
Buttons, coins, pins, nails, bra underwires, and various small items from pockets that were overlooked when loading things into the machine can get caught between the tub and the drum. This leads to a crack in the tank and rupture of the rubber cuff.
When you wash shoes made of fabric, even light ones, you have to worry that the beating may scratch and crack the glass, or damage the drum.

The bag will help minimize all these negative consequences and protect the washing machine from such troubles. As a result, owners save money on possible expensive repairs.

A bag is a thing that has undeniable advantages and functionality at a low cost. This product is gaining popularity because it saves time, money and reduces labor costs for washing.

User manual

Before using the bag, be sure to read the instructions for its use. Using the bag is quite simple. You need to put your shoes in it and zip it up. After this, you should place it in the drum of the washing machine and add detergent. The water temperature should be no more than 30 degrees. In this case, you should select the no-spin mode. Everything looks quite simple, but this procedure has a number of nuances that should be taken into account:

Before loading your sneakers into the machine, you should thoroughly clean them of dirt.
Another important point is to check the bag for shedding. If the purchased product is white, then there will be no problems with this, but if it is colored, you should test it first. To do this, you just need to soap it and rinse thoroughly. If the water remains clear, then everything is in order.
At the same time, only two pairs of sneakers can be washed in the washing machine, and in different bags.
Another recommendation is that special gels, rather than powders, are best suited for washing shoes. Since they have the ability to dissolve better and leave no traces.
In order not to spoil your shoes, it is best to choose a short cycle for washing.
Before washing, it is better to remove the insoles and laces and wash them separately; it is best to do this by hand.

So, what shoes cannot be washed in an automatic machine:

Any shoes made of leather, including sports shoes, since after washing the leather will lose its shape and appearance.
If the shoes have any external defects, then they should also not be machine washed.
You should not wash shoes that have a lot of decorations: rhinestones, stripes, etc., as during the washing process all this may fly off.
You can't wash cheap shoes. So, sneakers made in China may simply not withstand washing.

After the cycle is complete, the shoes should be removed from the bag and dried thoroughly. It should be dried as follows: first, the sneakers should be hung up with the sole so that the water drains faster. After this they can be turned over. The bag itself should also be thoroughly dried after washing.

Thus, the bag is very convenient and useful. Its use will allow you to achieve good results and significantly save time that could have been spent on manual washing. That is why you should not save on buying it.

Why do you need a laundry bag?

The entire washing process in any machine is divided into three stages. This is directly washing, rinsing and spinning. The drum rotates quite intensively, so delicate items can become deformed even during the washing process. An even more serious load occurs when twisting, when the laundry is strongly pressed into the walls of the drum. To prevent lace underwear from becoming too deformed, you need to use a cover for washing your bra.

Bags and special cases for washing bras perform several functions simultaneously:

Helps maintain the shape of your favorite clothes.
Ideal for washing lace underwear and textile house shoes.
It does not allow beads and rhinestones that accidentally fell off the laundry to get lost in the drum of the washing machine.
Protects the working mechanisms of the washing machine from damage that can be caused by the ingress of very small objects.

To prevent underwear from stretching and losing its shape, it should be washed as carefully as possible. This can be done by hand or using a special device for delicate washing of bras.

If clothes are washed in a special bag or case, an imitation of hand washing is created.

Portable laundry gadgets

And at the end of the selection are creations of human thought that can finally free up space in small city apartments and will be useful for those who like to travel and get their clothes dirty in the process. Today there are portable washing machines that shrink down like a collapsible bucket. This gadget will even fit into a suitcase.

Portable washing stick. Yes, there is one. A camping or country option when you don’t want to wash it by hand, but there’s no washing machine nearby. The stick at the end is equipped with a mechanism that, like a plunger, draws in water. Pressurized water passes through clothing, cleaning it. Such an easy way to save money on a washing machine.

Why is it better to wash bags by hand rather than in a washing machine?

Cellophane, plastic and polyethylene that go into the bag are thermally unstable. Hot water deforms them, cellophane becomes toxic when heated. In addition, paint comes off easily from plastic, and after machine or rough hand washing, the bags “peel off” and lose their attractiveness.

How to wash bags

If you still have a lot of bags and need to wash them, consider the following recommendations:

When washing by hand, soak the bags in a basin so that they are not crowded. Do not rub, but swirl the water, do not forget to turn each one out to better clean the inside. If you need to clean heavy stains, use a soft sponge. Change the water often.
When machine washing, load the drum only halfway and set a gentle mode, for example, the “Wool” or “Sport” program, and turn off the spin cycle.
