has anyone ever washed these? mine have gotten very stinky and i'm wondering if running them through the washing machine will take away the smell.

I am into natural solutions so this is what I did- turn inside out the best you can, rub fresh squeezed lemon juice into the cotton lining, let sit for awhile or over night and and launder with my kitchen towels/washcloths. It worked great!

I haven't run them through the washing machine, but I did hand wash them in a diluted bleach solution. It worked just fine, and the stink went away. My mom actually has a pair. She hangs them from clothes pins to keep them open, and they seem to get less stinky.

I just hose them off and let them air dry in the sun. I've never put them in the washing machine. No need as they wash off wit the hose easily.

i usually throw mine in the washer with bleach. I have not had any problems with them thus far.

I have not tried to wash them, but I bet you could turn them inside out and wash them by hand and then air dry. I find the fingertips get too stiff for me after about a month and a half and then I just toss them. They do not smell at that point.

I have been using them for over 10 years and have never needed to clean them. I suppose if you sweat profusely, you might need something, but I really don't see why. However, I would think you could through them in the washing machine.

I am in a smaller house. I read others in apartments using them. I have a bucket I have been folding them up and setting them in. I have not noticed a smell, but thought of adding water and some sort of soap to the bucket. I think summer time it could be an issueThey wash up great and also I laid them on a drying rack to dry overnight.

The smell is not a problem to me, it goes away quickly. For a washer or dryer they should work pretty good. I was using them for a roof-mounted air conditioning unit and they helped a lot.

I've had mine for a quite a long time now and I would say you don't need to wash them, but I have thrown them in washer or dryer from time to time and they have not shrunk for me. You could hand wash them as well to avoid them from shrinking and just let them dry out.

I don't really know. I have not had a pair that smelled once they were washed. I do sometimes let them soak overnight in water and white vinegar if they are very dirty. Try that.

Dear Emili, I have purchased 3 of these and I have not noticed any smell. Have you tried washing the whole thing and not just the cover? We have washed ours several times and they come back to the same shape they were and fresh as can be.

I have only washed them once in my washer on delicate. Since then I have been just washing them with soap and water while on my hands and it has been great! I hang them to dry on my drying rack.

Good Morning. Most of our customers have had no issues machine washing using the gentle or hand wash cycle. Line or lay flat to dry - slight touch up with a steam iron (if needed) and they look great! I am a single dad with 2 boys and use them on my bed. I have had no issues washing them - the ironing part I plead the fifth! Have a wonderful weekend. Craig Fishers Finery Customer Service

okay whoops...I washed mine. Honestly (and luckily) they came out fine. Not sure what damage I've done now...but they still like new.

I have washed them in a washing machine without any problems, but I do put them in a lingerie bag, and I air-dry them. I wouldn't just throw them in the machine. A zipper pillow case works well also.
