what experts say

- >“Place the shoes (and laces) in a mesh laundry bag before adding them to the washer. Wash with similar-colored and similar-weight laundry, such as towels or jeans.”— The Spruce
- >“GOGOODA Mesh Laundry Bags — Now 15% Off”— Good Housekeeping UK (product listing)
- >“If allowed, place them in a mesh laundry bag (like BAGAIL) and add old towels or bed sheets to buffer the noise and protect both shoes and machine.”— Good Housekeeping UK (white trainers guide)
