How do I clean my saddlepads

I used to de hair mine with a rubber curry comb them popped them in the washing machine

OH didn't seem to object to them too much, the clink clink of rug surcingles as I washed those didn't go down well however!!
 
It’s girths I struggle with. I’ve tried knotting them in pillow cases and in handbag dust bags (also tightly knotted) but the knots always come undone and I end up with half a cycle of clank clank clank.
 
Some girths used to be sold with neoprene buckle bags
I don't know if any still are; if not they probably wouldn't be hard to make
