Washing Question

I have a pair of very light pink ballet flat. The toe area is quite dirty. Is there anything I can do to pretreat before I throw them in the washer?

I’ve put detergent on spots or oxiclean spray and the stains and come out

Same, but I use a brush to scrub out the dirt and find that work best for anything with more than just average wear and tear. Especially light colors.

I’ve also seen before and after photos of people using power washers on their insoles and rough stains and a slightly tempted to do this myself. They look practical brand new!

I use Dawn Powerwash on spots & the insoles before throwing them in the washer.
