What's the best way to wash tennis shoes in the washing machine?

Should I put them in some type of mesh bag or not? Hot, warm or cold water? Gentle or normal cycle? Please be as specific as you can.

What%26#039;s the best way to wash tennis shoes in the washing machine?
I do ours loose in the washer in warm water on the normal setting with a set of white sheets or towels with a little bleach to disinfect them then air dry them. I only put in at most 3 pairs at a time. I%26#039;ve washed every kind from Nike,Etnes and Converse and have had great results!I wash them with the white because we only buy predominatly white sneakers.
Reply:use baking soda and regular detergent.
Reply:Don%26#039;t wash in hot water as it will set any stains. I would pretreat them first and then use a detergent with color safe bleach on normal cycle. You could put them in a mesh bag if you like, that way there the shoe strings don%26#039;t get wrapped around other things. I just let mine air dry


cause the dryer heat tends to shrink them. Good Luck.
Reply:put them in a pillowcase and use cold water.
