You cannot wash Allbirds laces without damaging the material. Consider replacing the laces if they’re really dirty—a new set will only cost around $10 (USD).

Similar to the laces, Allbirds insoles are not designed to be washed. If the inside of your shoes are especially gnarly, consider replacing them entirely. A new set will only cost around $15 (USD).

Do this outside to prevent getting dirt and debris all over your home. You should brush your shoes like this once every 2-3 months to keep them clean in between washings.

Even if you don’t get all of the stain out, you’ll weaken the stain considerably and make the wash cycle more effective. Don’t use dish soap when doing this.

A delicates bag is sometimes called a wash bag or lingerie bag. You can skip this step if you don’t have a laundry bag.

Don’t put anything else in the delicates bag with your shoes.

If your cap doesn’t have hash marks for measuring detergent, play it safe and fill the cap 1–2 inches (2. 5–5. 1 cm) with detergent. Avoid using the detergent pods unless you absolutely have to. The detergent may be too strong for the Allbirds. Do not use any fabric softener in the load.

The wool could shrink if you wash your shoes in warmer water.

As long as you use cold water and a gentle cycle, you can wash your shoes multiple times to get tougher stains out.

If you can, keep them out of the sun or intense heat while they dry.

Because Allbirds advertises this washing method on their website, you may be entitled to a replacement pair if you contact them directly. Call 1-888-963-8944 to reach the Allbirds customer service department.

Shake the excess baking soda off before you put the insoles back into the shoes.
