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 threw them in the washing machine and let them air dry. I was living in an apartment with no circulation and they got moldy just sitting there.......

I wash them in the machine, under "sterilization." It works well. I do NOT dry them. I let them air-dry.

Mine haven't, only washed them a couple times, cold water, only put them in a dryer for a few minutes. They hang dry really quickly.

I find them fairly quick to dry. I haven't hand washed though, only machine. They do come virtually dry from the machine so if you have a warmish spot to put them overnight I think they would be fine. I would test them at home first, and take two pairs so you can rotate if they are still damp.

I always wash mine in the washing machine with warm water and detergent a little bleach. And let it air dry. If you put in the dryer only few a few minutes.

I found them to be fine after washing. I washed them with a regular load of laundry (front load) with the same methods and detergents regularly used. Nothing feels as good as when you first get them, but I was definitely satisfied with the product following the washing. Good Luck. Leon

I have washed them, but I have not put them in the dryer. I prefer to air dry, but if you do I suggest you use the low setting to protect from shrinkage.

I machine washed them in rockin green laundry soap and dried them normally. There is no real prep for these. I have stripped them once using the hot water in the washing machine.

Hmmmm. Mine did not smell. After I rinsed them, I used them. Maybe you should return the ones you received.

I have not had this problem. I have not done anything special to wash them, although my washer does have a "sheets" cycle. However, I have not had them for very long.

I washed mine with no problems. Just unzip it fully before washing. I wouldn't wash too often though.

I've successfully washed them many times in my dishwasher. I can't speak to the manufacturer's recommendation but I've had no issues doing so.

Just wash them. I believe you hang dry them. So far have kept them pretty clean.
