If I put these rattles in a stuffed baby toy, can the toy be machine washed and dried?

I have washed them inside a couple toys, though not many times yet, and it seems to be fine. They seem pretty watertight, so I'm not too worried about them and mine are still intact from what I can hear, so I would assume it's fine to wash them.

Oh you can definitely wash them in the machine but I recommend drying on a low heat to avoid shrinking them. I hand wash mine most the time but that's just my preference. :)

Yes, but probably best not to dry them by machine. bad for most clothes anyways

They do say machine washable and dry-able, HOWEVER.... I tried in a bag and out... the only complaint I have is both ways, the sample group , (I only used about 5-7 snowballs, some in and out of a secured pillow case ), is that they lose that crunchy feel they have. After this result the rest I just refreshed in the dryer without wetting them, (so far only indoor play), and they came out perfect. I haven't tried hand washing and air drying yet, but plan on giving it a try soon. Certainly they all remained in action and the kids seem to love them no matter what they feel like. I hope that helps some.

I haven't tried yet, but they ARE hard plastic and probably can be washed. Seriously, these are the last shaker/grinders you'll ever buy!!!

Strangely, most stuffed animals say not to machine wash them. But with two small children in my house, sometimes they need a real good cleaning. When I clean any of my girls' stuffed things, I put them with a couple other things in a lingerie bag and toss them in with my regular laundry. That usually seems to protect them from the agitation while still getting them nice and clean. You can do it on the gentle cycle if you like. The dryer can be tricky, but, again, I have never had any problems, as long as I only use low heat. The thing to remember is that you want to make sure the stuffed thing gets *completely* dry so no mold or mildew grows inside it. As a side note, I have learned that you should not wash stuffed things with towels. They get covered in a weird film of towel fuzz.

Yes. Machine wash cold with like colors and can tumble dry- per the instructions. I wash on delicate cycle and lay flat to dry.

they tear pretty easy/clean so they should be ok to do so (not sure if they would whole though because i don't have that toy)

you can wash in the machine, but the tags say not to put in the dryer... they've accidentally gone into the dryer once or twice and were okay, but I don't make a habit of it.

Ziplocs are nice option but its my understanding these are washable. I would soak them in a batch of warm water with a bit of liquid soap & cap of bleach then rinse thoroughly before reuse. I love these things.

I wash and dry mine at home...no problem. It came out looking like it did brand new. The only thing is... I would not wash in a top loading washer with the agitator...it would probably tear it, as it would any comforter! Mine did not shrink... I dried it on medium heat. I wash and dry mine and my children's all the time...never had a problem. We absolutely love them. My 10 year old grand daughter asked for one for Christmas instead of toys...that should tell ya something!

They say hand wash only, and I'm guessing that's best. They're 100% polyester and have pretty cheap (though cute!) details on them that probably wouldn't survive in the washing machine. Definitely no dryer -- they'd melt!

I haven't machine washed mine but I would say yes, though air dry seems logical given the material.

let it dry a bit and that use you hose with an attachment the toys should be ok- maybe even a little more plush ... hope this helps

I haven't tried machine washing, but I don't see why it couldn't be washed in the machine. I would use gentle cycle and line dry.

No, they are re-usable. They are like the NICU one's that you throw away after one use. But considering the cost, I used them about 5 times max before desposal, I'd just wash them with soapy warm water. They worked fine. Glad our little one graduated from them though. They cost a pretty penny.

Yes, they are absolutely machine washable. No need to dry them though. They come out of the washing machine clean and pretty dry.
