Can you wash trainers in a washing machine?
Washing trainers in a front loading washing machine can cause the plastic drum paddles (sometimes called drum lifters) to come loose or even break. This in turn can cause damage to laundry that subsequently snags on the sharp holes revealed.
If you have loose or broken drum paddles you can get them here Washing machine drum paddles (or lifters)
It may be that trainers will survive washing in the washing machine but they are too heavy and you risk damaging the drum paddles.
Having said all that, some washing machines now have special programmes for trainers. If yours does and the drum paddles break I would complain to the manufacturer.
