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.

Wash them in the washer on delicate and you can dry them in the dryer on high.

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.

they can be warm washed but dont put them in the dryer. did that to my first set and messed them up. dont know what happened to them . my best guess would be chemical break down from washer to the dryer?

I just wash them on the normal cycle with my dark cloths. I also put them in the dryer. I don't use fabric softener so I can't help ya there.

I throw them in the washing machine, color cycle, warm. Dryer, low heat. No problem. They work great.

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 washed them in the sink and let them air dry. Don't know how they would handle a waher/dryer.

I do put mine in the washer and dryer, but take care not to wash them with items that will get stuck in the velcro closures. It will result in the velcro not staying fastened.

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 didn't even look. I just wash mine in cold water and they come out of the dryer just fine. No shrinkage! They are super warm!

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 haven't needed to wash them yet. I'll need to check the label, but can't at the moment. I'm thinking it may be gentle wash and low temp for dryer.

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

I throw mine in the washing machine with the underwear, warm wash, gentle cycle. You're supposed to lay it flat to dry, but it holds a lot of water even after a gentle spin dry; so I put the whole load in the dryer for maybe 10 minutes on medium-low heat, to fluff it and let the other items absorb some of the moisture. Then when it's partially dry, I take it out and lay it flat. Seems to work well--after several months I have not yet seen any sign of aging from the dryer. Update: I've been using these for over a year now. The only change I've made is, I've gotten a drying rack; so instead of laying it flat when it's partially dry, I drape it over the rack. After a year, they're still soft, supple, and lie flat.

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.

Yes, they should be able to be washed with no problem. I have not washed them yet, but I can see that it will be no problem to slide them out of the hangers and throw them in the wash.
