I want these to go in the breezeway between the house &amp; the garage. Can these be rinsed off with a water hose as often as needed?

They are definitely washable. However, the water will collect underneath them as they don't form an air tight seal and could possibly rot the floor boards. I just wipe them down with a mop and/or rag.

They are sterile so you don't need to wash them. Just open one and attach it. I haven't tried reusing them. I thought about it until I started using them. I think it's impractical.

Only if you drop them on the floor, I use mine most every day and rinse out right away . I also put them in the dish washer sometimes. I read in a review not to jam them in a glass with ice ,so I make sure I don't do that ,it sounded like good advice to me. I love these get them!

Just use them one load after another. That way they are already soaked and ready to suds. Every time they dry out they have to be re-soaked a bit before putting them in a load. To extend the life, pull them out before the rinse cycle. This also assures better rinsing too.

I believe they're necessary for air filtration and keeping dirt out of the motor. They surely get very dirty after just one or two uses but wash out very easily. You shouldn't return them to the vac wet, so more than one makes it easy to use the appliance while one is drying.

I just got these so I have gotten to that point yet. but I would imagine you could hand wash them in the sink and let them air dry.

you can easily pull the mat out of the garage a few feet and squeegee it off or turn it over or mop it up inside the garage.we have even used a shop vac. it does require a little effort but it is much better than the water running all over your garage. we have had no problem with any water getting off the mat.

yes you can run water on them, use soap or an alcohol lens cleaner. ive done all of the above literally dozens of times a week for four years. every time i do my yard and get them really sweaty and dirty i clean them with soap and water. no problem.

These can be washed a few times only until the fibers give up. Buy these directly from the manufacturer, if it is hoover or Shark etc. After uwashing, squeeze to let out water but don't squeeze or turn it or you will damage it. Then air dry it by putting a fan in front of it or if possible, leave under the sun. Again, from my experience, it is better to pay a little extra and buying from the company instead of somewhere else. Hope this helps.

I have not laundered them. They have been outside all summer and only look dirty in the "button" depressions. When I put them outside in the spring I will probably just hose them down.

We just wipe off the outside with a damp cloth. I don't want to jeopardize the integrity of the material. They work great!

You can. They are like thin, stretchy socks, so if you have an agitator post in your washer, these could get hung up.I usually just put a little dish soap on them and do a quick scrub in the kitchen sink every 2-3 rides, and make sure they are laid out to dry in the heat after a ride.

Water from downspouts is safe. I work at a gutter company, and have these at my house. If they are aluminum or galivinzed gutters u will be ok. I would still wash your hand though, because of the dirt lol

No Problem...These don't take much airflow to be effective. I use to use the same setup and was never at a loss for spray. Good Luck!

When I wash mine, I put them on a "bottle tree". I don't have any problems them then. You may have some condensation, but the rack lets it run out. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0064OE1OC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1409853741&sr;=8-1

You probably can, but I would not. When I cleaned my dryer vent, there was a lot of wet lint. I disconnected my dryer hose after running the sweeper and used a leaf blower to blow it out.
