I wash mine in just original Gain for one whole cycle and then just fresh water the second cycle they come out looking and working like new 8)

Inside out in the washer, hot water and no soap. Once in a while, I'll add just a touch of bleach and set it for a second rinse.

I wash mine with a little soap and bleach, run them through a second wash with nothing, then let them sit outside for a day.

Thanks guys. I washed it last night with no soap and looks great

I highly recommend AGAINST soap... Getting all the residue out is VERY difficult...

Bleach is fine, as long as it's properly dechlorinated afterwards (Dechlorinator, sitting int he sunlight, and/or lots of rinsing with clear water)

As far as I recall, if you leave it outside to air out for 24 hours, they will be fully dechlorinated.

Dipping them in a bucket of water with Prime or something similar may give you more peace of mind though.

I've always wash mine with a little ammonia. 5yrs never had a problem
