Drying shoes in a Dexp tumble dryer

It can be difficult to dry shoes, particularly if you’re afraid of breaking them. However, if you have a Dexp tumble dryer, you already have a practical choice at home.

Although most people associate tumble dryers with drying clothes, a growing number of people are learning that they can also be used to dry shoes. But not every shoe can be tumble dried, so it’s crucial to know how to do it properly to prevent any accidents.

We’ll walk you through the steps of drying shoes in your Dexp tumble dryer in this post so that they come out clean, fresh, and dry.

Procedure for drying shoes

If the equipment’s instructions don’t mention such a mode, a lot of users are scared to dry shoes in a machine. It’s true that you can use a dryer to dry trainers or sneakers, but you must follow the right procedures. Selecting the appropriate program should be your first priority.

Dexp machines don’t come with a specific program for drying shoes, but you can select an appropriate algorithm for the job.

Trainers and sneakers are typically dried in machines. The quality of the glue and stitching on the shoes is crucial. If not, the product may be ruined by automatic drying. Examining the pair’s label is even more beneficial because it contains care recommendations.

The sneakers won’t be harmed by drying if they can tolerate being washed in a machine. Experience has led users to believe that the "Warm," "Mixed fabrics," or "Sportswear" programs are the most appropriate. Because of their lengthy cycles and high heating temperatures, the "Bed linen," "Jeans," and "Extra" modes are not recommended.

Dexp dryers also come with a "My mode" program. The ideal conditions for drying shoes can be adjusted. Nevertheless, choosing the cycle’s parameters will be challenging for novices, so it is preferable to employ one of the conventional algorithms.

There is one more detail, but the program is obvious. How do you put shoes inside the tumble dryer’s drum? Dexp comes with a special delivery that is meant for folded clothing but can also be used for sneakers.

One issue exists: the tumble dryer’s instructions do not specify the proper way to insert the stand into the drum. The user is left with only one option at this point: guess. If you look closely, you can see unique recesses to the left and right of the filter inside the dryer. This is where the shelf’s lower pins should be inserted.

The stand’s upper pin is placed into the drum’s upper recess. The shelf needs to be firmly installed inside the dryer. It is then covered with a pair of shoes, and the desired program is chosen.

If done correctly, drying shoes in a Dexp tumble dryer is a convenient option. However, there are some guidelines that must be followed to prevent damage to both the dryer and the shoes.

Rules for Automatic Shoe Drying

It is important to note that there is still a risk involved when loading your favorite sneakers into the machine for the first time. No expert can promise that the shoes won’t experience any problems. It is always possible that the product will break or get distorted. However, unfavorable outcomes can be avoided if you abide by a few rules.

• Make sure that the pair of shoes is made of materials that can be loaded into an automatic dryer. Leather and suede, for example, should not be put into the machine at all. If these are good quality knitted sneakers, then such treatment will not harm them.
• Inspect the shoes for sewn or glued decorative elements. In the process, they can come off, melt, or even worse – cause a fire.
• You cannot dry shoes on a fast setting. The "Express" program involves heating the air to 60 degrees. At such a temperature, the probability of destruction of the adhesive layer increases several times.

Ensure that the temperature used for drying does not rise above 40 °C.

• Be sure to clean off debris from the soles of shoes before loading a pair into the dryer. You can’t just put sneakers soaked in the rain into the machine. Small stones stuck in the tread can damage the device. Dust and dirt will remain in the chamber, and then stain clean clothes.

There’s not much chance of damaging your washing machine or your favorite pair of sneakers if you follow the directions. It’s crucial to clean the sole, put the goods in the drum on a special stand, and use the softest setting. This will prevent the shoes from deforming and the adhesive layer from being destroyed.

When you’re pressed for time, using a Dexp tumble dryer to dry your shoes can be a convenient and efficient solution. Just be careful to use the right settings to prevent breaking your shoes. To prevent the shoes from falling freely, use a drying rack or bag if your model has one and choose a gentle or low-heat cycle.

Prior to machine drying your shoes, it’s also crucial to read the care label. Certain materials may not withstand heat well, such as leather or specific synthetic materials. Air drying is a safer option if in doubt.

You can take advantage of your Dexp tumble dryer’s convenience and maintain the condition of your shoes by adhering to these easy guidelines.
