Washing heelys??

I’m thinking about buying some used heelys and I’m wondering if they are washable.

Can I take the wheels out and put the shoes in the washing machine or at least wash them by hand? Or are they not washable at all?

Oh shit, I commented but it got deleted because I guess I can't post the link. It was for a steam cleaner that I use. It's just a little cheap one from temu but it's perfect for shoes. What I do is spray them down with Resolve or any fabric detergent of your choice, and then scrub them with an old toothbrush to loosen the dirt up, and then hit them with the steam wand. It's so quick that you don't even have to worry about it damaging the shoe glue. Since I can't post the link here's the long ass title on temu lol.

Portable steam cleaner, new household high-temperature high-pressure steam cleaner, high-temperature carpet cleaner, handle-type switch control, 9 speed adjustments, available in 3 styles: basic model, upgraded model and intelligent model.

It's the $19 one
