How can I wash them? I recall there being washing instructions with them when I bought them, but I've either lost them or thrown them out.

This may sound gross, but I haven't. I do dust them with baby powder on occassion.

I just toss them in the washer. They seem indestructible!

Hand wash them with a mild detergent!!

I recall the instructions said to hand wash them.

I also hand wash and put them on the ends of a plastic hanger to dry.
Then rub the sticky side with baby powder.

Don't feel bad Chico....I haven't washed mine in way too long!

I do the same, but the baby powder smell got to me, so now I use corn starch instead.

This is what it says in the instructions:

RECOMMENDED CARE:
We recommend that you hand wash the product. Air dry product and lightly dust product with talcum powder after drying.

At the risk of sounding like a stupid college student who's used to just throwing things in the washer (which I guess I am ) how do you handwash them? Do you use Woolite or regular detergent or what?

This is amusing- I've been meaning to post this myself for ages now and I just kept forgetting. I've had my Bungas for over a year and I've never washed them. Oddly, they really don't smell. Go figure.

I just bought new ones, in part because I didn't really want to bother washing them! (Well, and their time had come. They were starting to tear.)

I use liquid laundry detergent....any liquid soap will do I suppose. You could use a bit of dishwashing liquid too. Or just put some powdered soap in some water, swish it around, and drop those bungas in. Swish some more...rinse out...there you go!

You're supposed to WASH them??? (backspin's had her bungas for a good three years now.....)

I wash mine every 2 to 3 months as they get STINKY!!!!

Thanks Elsy. =-)

I haven't noticed mine smelling. I use the powder so they don't stick.

Every Christmas I ask for a new set of Bunga's. I find mine lose their cush over time.

Thank goodness for these things!
