Ballet Slippers

[annwyn]

Hey

Can you wash balltet slippers, and how do you do it with out ruining them?

[tahiradancer]

As in throw them into the washer? Unless they are canvas, no. You can, of course, wash them down with a wash cloth.

If you are trying to get rid foot smell, the best you can do is Lysol or something like that.

I unfortunately have to buy new ones, each time they get ruined.

Although, I haven't tried washing my fairly new canvas ones. Should I was them by hand?

[Adishakti]

I wash my canvas ones in cold water with my other laundry without any problems (don't put them in the dryer, though).

Lysol works well for the insides of leather shoes to eliminate the smell, but I'm not sure I'd risk washing them...

Me too, I chuck my canvas ones in the washing machine on a cold wash ... no problems. However they have not as yet been subjected to the joys of fabic softener. x jilyan
