This has been my problem, my ear hurts every time I got a phone call, specially if it would last for several minutes. How about you? Do you experience the same? I guess I need to buy a new durable earphone, I bought last time and...

I've heard of a few people using the washing machine to wash their dirty shoes; it's something I have not tried myself personally, but I'm thinking of trying it out - apparently it works quite well! Have you ever used the...

cellophane Hi Fannitia and GardenGerty, glad to hear you've had good experiences with this method as well! Does stuffing the shoes with paper make them dry faster/more effectively? I haven't heard of that!

cellophane I think it would still hit the sides due to the centrifugal forces which push the objects in a washing machine out, but that's true it's safer to wash manually!

cellophane I ended up washing them manually since they aren't very good shoes, thought I would stick with the safer method .

cellophane Ended up just soaking them in a bucket overnight and washing them with a tap the next day before hanging them out to dry... didn't exactly bring them to 'as new' condition but I think it's good enough , thanks!

cellophane Oh you have washed canvas shoes in the washing machine? The shoes I was thinking about putting in there are canvas shoes too, guessing it works out ok?

cellophane Great to hear! Did you use a towel when you washed yours? Yes I think that while the water would still go in, it probably wouldn't be as effective... but I guess if it helps keep your washing machine alive then it's worth it!

cellophane Thanks for the tip there Kojigirl , another Mylotter pointed out the same thing earlier - handy thing to note, don't machine wash cheaper shoes!

cellophane Yeah that would be one of my concerns - that the washing machine would be damaged after being hit by the shoes. Manual's definitely safer .

cellophane I think door mats would indeed be a good combination with shoes, onto a good thing there! Nice to know washing your shoes with the machine works out well!

cellophane Oh do people put them in the dryer as well! I was thinking more along the lines of leaving them outside to dry in the sun (though I suppose that might not be so effective in a place that's snowing, or raining). That seems a bit odd... did the round in the...

cellophane I think with tennis shoes it's due to the fact that they are built to be strong, since people run around in them for hours on end - they need to be strong and able to tolerate a lot of abuse. It has been mentioned my other MyLotters that it will also depend on...
