Do you put your sneakers in the washing machine?

They're starting to look dingy and wiping them off with a damp cloth is not getting as clean as I'd like

Remove the laces, skip the dryer. Put in a splash of vinegar to kill the smell.

Yes, but the dryer will tear them up. Wash on delicate and sit them upside down over a vent overnight.

If the stuff in yellow cap can't fix. Dunk in bucket of water w dish detergent (the powder kind) then sunk in water a few times. Air dry on back porch on a sunny day. Make sure you open shoe up to light as much as possible.

Squirt a little dish soap on them and hose them off. Use a scrub pad if necessary.

Sounds like they just got demoted to grass cutting shoes. Buy a new pair, and toss the current grass cutting shoes away.

I keep my shoes clean, I hand wash them every week or so, so I never really let them get really dirty (and for the people who say "why do you even wear shoes? Do they even get dirty?". Yes, I do use my feet to push open doors, etc so they do get used and get dirty so... )

washing machine works well, but is a little rough on them.

dishwasher works very well, too...just don't use dishwashing detergent, as it has a bunch of bleach in it. I generally would put them in the sun to dry.

I put them in the washing machine with bleach anytime I get a pair dirty. Who gives a shite. It cleans them and my feet are much harder on them then the washing machine.

If I would've said running shoes, training shoes, gym shoes or any other specific kind of shoe
Then I would've gotten a bunch of smart arse comments and you know it

Yes. Use 10 second sneaker cleaner and scrub a bit then spray with simple green. Let sit for about 5 mins and toss them in the washer with a bit of powdered Tide. Works for me.
