after running under the rain for 30 minutes my white sneakers had a foul stench. I tried disinfectant and washing them with soap and water and lots of rubbing and sunlight to dry.
While that got rid of most of the smell, my white sneakers are now brownish, specially around the shoelaces.
I've never washed sneakers in the washing machine. Am I going to ruin them?
I have washed shoes on gentle before with success. Technique, I put them in a pillowcase that closes first to keep laces from tangling
Why not just take the shoelaces out?
I assume that's an old pillowcase?
