What are the washing instructions? I want to be able to put them in the washer and dryer without shrinking or ruining them

I put mine in the washing machine yesterday and now they are shrunk. I came here to try and find how to fix them, but looks like I'll have to buy new ones

It is ok to put them into washer but they advice to have them dry outside. But please check their site

I tried washing mine yesterday as they've developed a bad smell, and for the 15 minutes I was trying to wash them, the black dye kept coming out endlessly, and my hands were completely black. In the end, I just got so tired of this process and lost hope. Today, they're semi-dry but streak black like crazy. The amount of dye is ridiculous, and instructions to hand wash are ridiculous as well. Horrible.

I've been using these gloves for a long time and only tried to wash them once. they didn't come clean so now I just use them and buy another pair when needed. I feel bad about throwing them in the garbage so I usually donate them, along with other clothes, to those in need. I don't know if the charity throws them away instead of giving to someone to help keep their hands warm in winter.

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'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 soak mine in a bucket of soapy water overnight, rinse and air dry. They've lasted for 4 years and look fine. I would not machine wash them with ANY other garment--the dye runs like crazy.

I have a pair from 2011 that said Machine Wash and Dry on the packaging, but now their web site says Hand Wash and Air Dry. I contacted Harbinger, and they said they switched over to new leather around 2011 that should be hand washed. I have successfully machine washed and dried my older ones, but did find that the black dye will rub off on other clothes.

Don't put them in washer hand wash them and just air dry there is a instruction inside the glove

I wash mine in washer along with other gym clothes and dry with them as well. They've lasted me over two years. I've just bought another pair but still using the old ones. The instructions are three drawings that seem to indicate, hand wash and dry in dryer.

No shrinkage after washing. BUT, I machine wash then hang them to drip dry-no machine drying!

Wash in cold water. I do not put mine in a dryer. I put them outside to dry in the air or will just put them back in the shower since they're going to get wet again anyway.

wash as usual with other same color items. I believe the package symbols showed no dryer, but hubby wanted his 'shrunk' a little, so I threw them in the dryer and had no problems with them.

I just fold them and put them in a large zip-lock bag if I can't do a load of wash. most of the time just washing them in the tub will do the trick.

They are washable. I wash mine in hot (with underwear, sheets, towels) then throw them in the dryer. Usually, I take them out of the dryer before they are fully dry (i.e. overly hot). They have held up really, really well and are still going strong for me.

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.

hi its me again, i saw the other answer, hers has shrunk cause she has used the dryer, this is wool and under no circumstances should it go in the dryer or it will shrink, they do not shrink if you wash on 30 and just hang to dry

Did you put them in the dryer after washing? I always hang mine on a drying rack and have never had shrinkage.

I have some similar cloths I bought elsewhere and I got ripped off but they also said don't dry with fabric softener. So I'll remember, I wash them in my regular wash, with the usual underwear, sox, etc. But I put them in a lingerie bag so I notice them when I'm putting things in the dryer. When I see them, I immediately put them aside and hang them on a rack to dry. And I think these are like mine so they take little time to dry. Hope this might help!

I think if they become dirty you might be able to wash them, but I do not think their intended purpose is to provide fabric softening in a washer. They are balls of wool that bounce around in the dryer to keep the clothes separated. I'm not sure how useful they would be in a washer.

I have not washed mine yet. I was thinking that when the time came I probably would take it to the dry cleaners. I haven't read the Manufacturers Care Instructions. Sorry.

I have washed them and they do fine in the washer. I just used light cycle. I also dried with no problem.

Sorry about the delay in replying. I looked at the covers for laundry instructions and there wasn't any specific details about washing so as of right now I don't know.

We washed ours on gentle cycle but didn't dry them in the dryer. Just let them air dry. They didn't shrink on us :) we have the white covers so some stains remained but definitely look better!!

I wash mine in the washer on the "delicate" setting. I then let them air dry at room temperature. ....
