Avoid hand washing insoles
Shoe insoles should not be washed using hot water or detergents. You should use a soft brush to scrub them clean. Always do this over a trash can or sink. This will ensure that you don’t ruin your insoles. The cleaning process should take no longer than 30 minutes.
Avoid washing memory foam insoles
Using the washing machine is not the best way to clean memory foam shoe insoles. If you do, they can warp and lose their shape. It is also not recommended to wash memory foam shoe insoles separately. You can wash them in warm water and then air dry them. Another option is to use a brush and soap solution.
To clean your insoles, you can use a cleaning solution. It should be enough for one pair of shoes. The solution is also good for protecting the insoles from water and stains. In places where it rains, this solution can come in handy. But be sure to use a fresh solution for the insoles to avoid causing further damage.
After you’ve removed the insoles, you should let them dry for at least 12 hours. This way, you will avoid damaging the insoles and causing discomfort. You can also remove the insoles before washing them to speed up the drying process. However, remember that you should not wash memory foam shoes with the washing machine.
