what is the ideal way to wash these?

I wash mine in the shower with me and hang dry. Just get the pits good and soapy!

I washed my sauba shirt in the "delicate" cycle, cold water, no fabric softener... didn't lose its shape or shrink. Hang dry.

I usually just throw them in with my towels/sheets - in hot water & dry in the dryer. Hope this helps.

I would not put them in the washing machine. I simply rinse and hand squeeze them out under warm water and lay them on a paper towel to dry overnight. They actually dry long before that and are ready to go.

I wash them by hand. They would probably be fine on the dishwasher, but I rather not risk 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 just scrub them, then soak in bleach water. Then a soak in regular water.

I do not think they should ever need washing - just keep them in the dryer! I would not recommend washing them.

I wash them by hand. They are very thin and I would worry about scratches and shape distortion by the hot water.

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 put mine in the washer and dryer all the time. Even though they dry quickly, I suspect they will eventually harbor bacteria, so I highly recommend washing them.

I just wash them in the washing machine in hot water with normal detergent and dry them in the dryer without fabric softener. I use them in the kitchen for everything, including fine straining, hence not using fabric softener. IF they get really greasy, you can throw a cupful of vinegar into the washer with them.

I soak them in hot water with oxiclean sometimes 24 hours if they are really grimy and then in the washing machine on hot with a little soap and white vinegar added. They usually come out clean.

I hand wash mine with mild soap and warm water, reshape them and air dry. So far, so good!

It is recommended to hand wash them, but I do not see a problem machine washing them. Once they become dirty, I will machine wash them.

Depending on how dirty they are, you can either hose them down or just use a wet rag to wipe them down. Very easy to clean.

I would wash them with dish soap and rinse in very hot water, let them air dry. If you are worried about bacteria, boil water and dip the cloth end in to sterilize.

Easy! Throw them in the washer like any pair of socks. I let them air dry. They come out just like new.
