The cleaner your trainers are before they go inside the washing machine, the less hard the machine will have to work, meaning better results all around. Benefits of hand washing include being able to target specific areas with precision and avoiding damage from harsh chemicals or rough surfaces. If you don’t have time for a full hand wash, alternative cleaning methods like using a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth can do wonders in removing surface-level dirt and dust.
