There’s no doubt about it. You love your rubber-soled sneakers and it shows. Unfortunately, it’s been showing a wee bit too much these days and now they’re in desperate need of laundering. So you remove the insoles and wash them first. Then you remove the laces, wash them by hand and brush off the loose dirt from the sneakers’ sides before tossing them into the washer. A run through the cold-water delicate cycle gets the sneakers sparkling clean without warping them but now they’ll need to be dried. Well, before you throw them into the machine, our dryer repair pros want you to stop and think. Here are three compelling reasons why:
1.) Spontaneous Combustion
Believe it or not, when the materials used to manufacture some brands of shoes are heated to certain temperatures, spontaneous combustion could occur. Yes, your beloved sneakers have the potential to burst into flames and cause a dryer fire. Some of the factors that may elevate the risk of this happening are dirty lint vents or clogged dryer ducts, the presence of trace contaminates in the fabrics and the temperature limits of the materials used in the sneakers’ manufacture.
2.) Melting and Warping
That brings us to the second reason why our dryer repair pros want you to refrain from tossing those kicks into the machine, melt temperatures. Nowadays, there are a variety of man made and synthetic materials that are used to manufacture sneakers and not all of them can withstand high temperatures. As a matter of fact, most will melt or warp when heated to temperatures that fall in the 100 to 347 degree Fahrenheit range. For proof, remember that last year a runner in Death Valley ended up with melted sneakers after letting the hot pavement make contact with the footwear during his normal run. Something similar also happened at the 2014 Australia Open.
3.) Shrink and Become Brittle
If the sneakers don’t burst into flames, melt or warp, they could shrink, crack or turn brittle. That’s because some sneakers contain elements like real or faux leather, which don’t respond well to heat either. So in other words, you’re favorite sneakers will end up clean, dry and ready for the trash.
