I always jet wash them first to get rid of all the crap, then put them in the machine.

Take them to your local launderette and put them in the extra large machine they usually have.

They will muck up your home machine, take it from me!

From the first time the wife washed mine they went a slightly grey colour and stayed that way.  They're not dirty mind just discoloured.

When you do them at home in your own machine its always best to put the machine on an empty wash after you have done the pads to get rid of the muck that the pads leave behing ie bits of hair and fluf from carpets :

We go to the launderette every friday with about 50/60 pads, they wash them on high temp which is good and clean, partner doesnt allow to wash at home.

Hi i agree with Clinton its best to run the machine after washing pads but don't run empty the water will lie at bottom of drum and only splash as the paddles in the drum go around.Put an old towel in the drum,this will drag the water up the sides of the drum giving a better cleaning action     Gordon

50/60 PADS THATS A SHED LOAD OF MONEY be worth robbing the launderette

i have always boil washed them for the past 16 years , no problems in domestic house machine ,, at times I have had a separate machine in the garage.

I don't like doing it in all reality but I use the house washing machine (well the business did buy it!). I never put more than 6 in at a time.
As for the colour, well they have lost their whiteness but it doesn't effect their ability to work so I put up with it.
