The secret to handling shoes after going to the rain -How do you dry shoes after rain how to dry shoes in the dryer?

In the previous post, Eachshoes shared with you tips on how to preserve and use shoes during the rainy season. But getting wet shoes these days is really inevitable. When your shoes get wet from the rain and you do not have them in a timely manner, it can quickly break down and cause skin problems caused by mold. To avoid these situations, equip yourself with extremely useful treatment for these rainy days.

1. Use a clothes dryer

Let’s look at the material of your shoes first. If your shoes are cotton or synthetic and don’t have a hard sole or gel sole, you can use a dryer. For sports shoes, leather shoes or Gore-Tex waterproof shoes, do not use washer or dryer as high temperatures can damage the leather.

– Step 1: Wash it off if your shoes get dirty. Use warm water and mild detergent for a more effective cleaning.

– Step 2: Fill the dryer with dishcloths and wipes, but don’t have to be overfilled.

– Step 3: Put the shoe in with the toes facing up, the sole facing out.

– Step 4: Hook the shoelace to the top of the dryer door and carefully close the door, the laces should be outside the dryer. Hanging shoes to the door will prevent the shoes from colliding with the drier, to avoid damaging the machine and to preserve the sole.

– Step 5: Set the low or medium temperature drying cycle to no more than 60 minutes.

2. Use a fan

This is great for durable leather or sports shoes. Suede shoes may need to be dried more slowly.

– Step 1: Use the water tap to remove any stains on the shoes if any.

– Step 2: Use a table fan or stand fan that is higher than the length of the shoe and sturdy enough to hang the shoe. Place a washcloth underneath the front of the fan to absorb water from the shoe during the drying process.

– Step 3: Remove the shoelaces and dry separately with the dryer or radiator within minutes if they are not leather.

– Step 4: Take an old clothes hanger and cut a 15 cm length with pliers and bend it into an “S” shape. One end is smaller to hook into the fan and the other end to hook into the shoe.

– Step 5: Unscrew the shoelaces, open the shoes open for maximum airflow from the fan.

3. Use a desiccant bag, newspaper or rice

This is a gentle and quick drying method for leather or suede shoes and hard sole.

– Step 1: Find a newspaper or desiccant bag, skipping pages with black ink or pictures because sometimes ink can seep into the shoes. You can also put the shoes in an inner box filled with rice about 2.5 cm deep. Seal the box and leave for 2 hours, the rice will absorb all the moisture in the shoes).

– Step 2: Wrap up the small member-member papers and tuck them into your shoes so they are tight.

– Step 3: Cover the shoes with a big newspaper so that they can absorb moisture from the outside of the shoe, in a cool, dry place.

– Step 4: Replace a new layer of paper every 20 minutes, the newspaper will absorb water and moisture from the inside to help dry shoes naturally. You can also use a tissue or toilet paper effectively absorbent, then leave in a cool place, the shoes will dry faster.

4.Also there are the following notes:

-Do not expose leather shoes to the sun. This will cause the skin to cramp, causing tight shoes, broken or torn skin.

-Do not polish shoes when the surface still shows signs of moisture, but must dry or dry before polishing shoes.

Do not reuse wet shoes for at least 2 days.
