Hubby left balls in the dryer with a load of damp clothes; now balls are musty. Can balls be washed? How?

i read the instructions that if the balls got too stringy or smelled you could just wash them with a regular load and they go back to new. have not had to do it though.

I washed mine in cold water with a "green" detergent. They washed up just fine.

I use a small amount of laundry soap, cold water, short cycle, gentle spin- then air fluff ( no heat!) in dryer. Or u could air dry, or hang in the sun if it ever comes out again!

I washed mine on delicate cycle and tumble dried it. I took it out of the dryer while it was still partly damp and air dried it. It turned out fine.

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.

With a moist semi-soapy cloth. Just give him a sponge bath and let him dry naturally or in the dryer.

LAUNDERING INSTRUCTIONS: Machine wash on cold or warm and dry thoroughly on low or medium. (Do not wash or dry on hot.) Adding a couple of tennis balls or dryer balls to your dryer will help loosen the fill and allow it to dry faster and more evenly. Once out of the dryer, reshape the pillow by grabbing two corners and vigorously thumping it; repeat with the opposite corners. Roll or knead to finish the fluffing and reshaping.We also have a short video on our company website with some extra tips and visual suggestions. It is located at the bottom of each pillow listing page as well as on the Video tab.Be sure to let us know if you have any further questions!Best regards,Heather McCoyA Little Pillow Company LAUNDERING INSTRUCTIONS: Machine wash on cold or warm and dry thoroughly on low or medium.

I washed mine after he was baddly soiled. I washed him by hand in Woolite, and rolled him in a towel to absorb most of the excess moisture. Sat him infront of a window facing the sun and let him dry out.

I don't know about the combo with dryer sheets as my whole point in getting the wool balls was to get rid of the dryer sheets so I have not used them together. Dryer sheets use toxic chemicals, or so I have heard. Yet, I also have not had that much of a static issue. My solution to that is to take the garment and give it a good cracking brisk shake. That usually gets rid of some of the static. Again, it is not like my clothes have had a lot of static since I made the switch which was many dryer loads ago. Get rid of those dryer sheets!

not sure, i haven't done so...i'd probably dry clean it instead. i'd worry that it wouldn't be as soft if put into the dryer.

I have been using these back to back since late July, with several washes in between and that has never happen to me. I wash them with a hot cycle meant for heavy cotton and then rinse a second time. I have never used a dryer on them, that could be why yours are balling up. I just hang dry for a few hours.

I've washed it a few times; after 5 or so wearings, I'd guess. I don't remember the washing instructions (and it's not close by), but I just throw it in with the normal laundry -- cold water wash/rinse, medium/low dry. I used regular detergent but no fabric softener as I use dryer balls. It came out good as new.

I have always dry cleaned it. Not sure, but it might shrink if laundered. Hope this helps.

I wash them in cold or lukewarm water (cotton will shrink otherwise) with regular detergent (cotton is tough, though) in the washer or by hand. Dry them in the dryer on low or hang to dry in shower.

I'm sorry but I don't have the original box anymore. I have been looking at mine and thinking abouthand-washing them in something like Woolite, rinsing and wrapping in towel to squeeze excess liquid out. Then I guess I will air dry them. This is my best idea.

I wash with towels, cold water and bleach. I use dryer balls or dryer sheets. They are holding up really well.
