A colleague of mine just pointed this app out. I love that this exists.
But make sure to dig into the additional info and draw your own conclusions.
For instance, it ranked Pure Life water (a typical bottle of water) at 65/100 because it contained sodium bicarbonate. This is something in the category of emulsifiers, a category that one study related to breast cancer, a preliminary study noted to have discrepancies. That’s a few leaps of correlation via a single one-time study with documented issues.
Anyway, I’d say the app is still worthwhile then having no easy guidance on product health and safety.

Yes, you can wash sneakers in the washer. Delicate, cold, small amount of detergent, laces out (Dan!) and in a laundry bag or the pair entirely in a bag laundry bag.
You can wash with other sneakers but I wouldn’t wash with clothes.
Consider getting a boot/mitt/hat dryer (like the ones at Costco). Very handy for quick drying and no mold, bacteria, fungi stink. I use mine all year round for this and weather related needs.
Note that the fabric on the soles might let go over time. The glue isn’t so strong.
