    I've got the same and I don't think I would dare. I think it would ruin them and your machine as well??

    I would give them a soak in the bath with some mild detergent.

    I have the big ones in the playroom, the only way I have found to get them really clean is a good scrub with a firm brush and bleach solution, If you do soak them in the bath just bear in mind that they take ages to dry !

    Or 2 mins with a steam mop if you have one?
    Apologies for the random full stops. Phone buttons too small, thumbs too big.
