Frequently asked questions
Everything people ask before washing sneakers in a washing machine bag. Still unsure? The shoe care guide goes deeper.
What is a shoe washing bag and why use one?
A shoe washing bag is a zippered laundry bag sized for a single shoe. KicksWash 360 bags are made from soft chenille, so each shoe is held in a padded pocket instead of tumbling loose against the drum. That cushioning helps reduce the banging and abrasion that happens when shoes are washed unprotected.
How many shoes fit in one bag?
One shoe per bag. That keeps each shoe cushioned on all sides and stops the pair from knocking into each other during the cycle.
Which shoes can I machine wash?
Only wash footwear whose manufacturer care instructions permit machine washing. Avoid leather, suede, and embellished or delicate footwear unless the maker explicitly allows it. If there is no care label, hand cleaning is the safer choice.
What wash settings should I use?
Follow the shoe manufacturer's instructions first. In general a cold, gentle or delicate cycle with a mild detergent is the least aggressive option. Air dry away from direct heat; do not put shoes in a dryer unless the maker says it is safe.
Are the bags reusable?
Yes. The bags are designed to be used again and again. Let them air dry fully between washes.
What does the zipper protection do?
The zipper is covered by a flap so the pull is not left exposed against your shoes or the drum during the cycle.
How much is shipping?
Shipping is free within the United States on every order.
What if I am not satisfied?
