"Honestly, I was sceptical at first — another gimmick. But with three kids coming home from football in filthy boots every weekend, I couldn't keep hand-scrubbing for hours. Now I pop their trainers in the bag, bung it in the machine, and they come out spotless. No smell, no banging, and my Stan Smiths are white again. Sounds daft but it's genuinely changed my routine."

❌ The problem nobody's actually solved

You wash your trainers using:

  • Pillowcases (noisy, ineffective)
  • Bicarbonate of soda (average results at best)
  • TikTok hacks (residue everywhere)

Or straight in the machine = soles coming unglued, damaged drum, misshapen shoes.

💸 What it's actually costing you:

  • Kids' trainers replaced every three months
  • White trainers permanently hidden at the back of the wardrobe
  • Sports shoes that only last one season
✅ With a proper wash solution:
  • Your £120 running shoes → last 2 years (instead of 6 months)
  • One pair instead of four
  • £500+ saved per year, per person

    Was genuinely terrified the first time I used it. My white New Balances are my pride and joy and I nearly didn't go through with it. Came out of the machine in perfect shape — no warping, no colour bleed, soles completely intact. I've now done six washes and they still look brand new. Wish I'd stopped hand-scrubbing years ago.

    I'll be honest — I thought it was a lot of money for what looked like a fancy laundry bag. But I'd just binned a pair of trainers I'd ruined trying to clean them in a pillowcase. This bag has already saved me more than it cost. My Hokas are going strong after four months and countless washes. Genuinely one of the best purchases I've made this year.

    I have three kids with completely different shoe types — canvas pumps, mesh trainers, leather school shoes. I was convinced at least one pair wouldn't come out right. Every single one came out spotless. Even my son's suede-look trainers (the label said synthetic) were absolutely fine. Works on literally everything we've thrown at it.

    My wife was convinced I was going to wreck the washing machine. We've got a Bosch that cost a fortune and she was having none of it at first. The bag completely cushions the shoes — there's no banging, no rattling, nothing. You can barely hear it on the cycle. She's now the one who uses it most. Machine is completely fine after twelve washes.

With WashPod, it's sorted in seconds

Pop each shoe into its bag, zip it shut, and in it goes.

How it works:

Thousands of ultra-soft microfibres act like tiny cushioned brushes
→ They lift dirt and remove stains without scratching

The plush interior absorbs impact
→ Your shoes don't bang, don't deform, and keep their shape

The bag protects your drum
→ Metal buckles and eyelets damage nothing

The result:

Clean, fresh, protected shoes — like new — that last far longer.
No scrubbing. No soaking. No risk to your machine.

    My son plays football every Saturday and comes home with boots that look like they've been through a mudslide. I'd given up on one pair completely — they were sitting in the garage waiting to be thrown out. Put them in the WashPod out of curiosity before binning them. One cycle later and I genuinely could not believe what I was looking at. They came out completely clean. That pair is still going two months later.

    I was worried the zip would give up after a few washes — I've had cheap laundry bags before where the zip snapped within a month. Used this twice a week for three months now, so that's roughly 25 washes, and it's completely solid. No signs of wear at all. The quality is noticeably better than anything else I've tried. Docking one star only because delivery took longer than expected, but the product itself is excellent.

    I used to spend 45 minutes on a Sunday with an old toothbrush trying to get my gym trainers clean. They'd look okay at best and I'd be exhausted. First wash in the WashPod — done in 30 minutes, zero effort, and they came out cleaner than they ever did after my scrubbing sessions. The microfibres get into places I simply couldn't reach by hand. Not even close.

    I'm not someone who reads instructions. I unboxed it, shoved my trainers in, zipped it up and put it on a 30° cycle. Came out perfect. My 14-year-old now does her own trainers without being asked — that alone is worth five stars. If a teenager is happy to use it independently, it doesn't get much more straightforward than that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does WashPod work with my trainers (Nike, Adidas, New Balance, etc.)?

Yes — WashPod is compatible with all major brands and works with most materials: canvas, smooth leather, synthetic, mesh, and mixed fabrics. Note: suede and nubuck are not suitable for machine washing and require specialist dry cleaning.

Will WashPod damage my washing machine?

No. The padded walls prevent shoes from banging against the drum, and the mesh exterior stops buckles and metal eyelets from causing any scratching or damage.

Can I wash both shoes in one bag?

We recommend one shoe per bag for the best result — one bag per shoe, two bags per pair.

How long does it take to dry the shoes?

Air drying typically takes a few hours depending on the material. You can also use a shoe dryer to speed up the process.

Is it really better than hand washing?

Yes. WashPod's microfibre interior reaches into seams and textured surfaces that are hard to clean by hand — and does it without the scrubbing or soaking that weakens glue and materials over time.

Does WashPod work on very dirty or smelly shoes?

Absolutely. The microfibre fibres lift deep-set dirt and the wash cycle removes odours effectively. For heavily soiled shoes, a pre-brush of the surface before placing in the bag is recommended.

Can I use WashPod in a front-load or top-load machine?

Yes — WashPod works in both front-loading and top-loading washing machines, on all cycles and at all temperatures.

What if the zip breaks?

WashPod uses a rubber zip designed to withstand repeated wash cycles. In the unlikely event of a defect, our 30-day guarantee covers you in full.

"Tried it on my son's muddy football boots and I genuinely couldn't believe the result. Stuck them in the bag, ran a 30° cycle, and they came out looking brand new. No noise from the drum either. Buying another two for the rest of the family."
