are these machine-washable?

Yes. I have washed mine several times. I let them air dry so they don't shrink.

Yes. We've washed them a bunch of times in the dishwasher with no problems.

No, I don't think they are strong enough to be washed, especially not in a washer.

Yes. However, I usually handwash them. My husband usually puts them in the dishwasher. So far, they have really held up well!

You can put them in the washing machine but let them air dry I would not put them in the dryer.

Yes, they are washable. Cold water, separate wash and I didn't put them into a dryer to dry though because I never use the dryer for placemats.

No, they are not. Though you could wash them on some surfaces. See my review here for more details http://www.amazon.com/review/R304IL90M10VM7/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B000F5SF52

They are washable. I put them in the washer on hot with my other cleaning cloths then hang them up to dry.

I've never tied to machine wash them but...maybe(?). And no, I wouldn't handle food directly with these. They serve the same principle as oven mitts...to handle hot trays, skewers etc.

Yes. You can machine wash them. But I don't recommend putting them in the dryer. The cleaning instructions says that they should be line dried.

Oh you can definitely wash them in the machine but I recommend drying on a low heat to avoid shrinking them. I hand wash mine most the time but that's just my preference. :)

Yes but I can't imagine why you would want to wash them. They stay in the dryer (in my case for over a year) and they don't get dirty. I have, on occasion, dropped one on the floor but I just brushed it off and back in the dryer it went.

I have them in my classroom, and haven't needed to wash them. I would say they would need spot cleaning. I'd guess that they are too thick to be machine washable. They are great quality and comfortable!

Sorry, can't help you. Have never tried it, and I wouldn't because it says it's ok to machine wash but to line dry....I've usually punctured a pair long before I have needed to clean them

No, they are not washable. Would shred up in a machine. You can wipe them with a damp cloth and vacuum, which is what we do. They are in okay but not great shape after two years.

From what others have told me, yes they can go in the washer. However, it is still recommended to hand wash.

I would not machine wash but fabric could be wiped clean with washcloth . These are very well made & well worth money
