washing bandages

[kerrie_jay]

Hey probably a silly question but what temperature do you guys wash your bandages on? their black so don't need to get stains out or anything but also don't want to shrink them! oh and can they go in the tumble dryer - im thinking the answer to this question is no but i might be wrong!

thanks in advance

I wash mine at 40 - and when I had a tumble dryer in the tack room on the yard I worked on, bandages always went in the tumble dryer.

Sometimes, if there bandages weren't all that dirty, were just wet, I would just tumble them dry - then the sandy bits would fall off, then re roll for the next day!

I've always washed my bandages on a normal 40 degree wash but haven't put them in the tumble dryer. If they're tie up ones I put them in a pillow case (ties try to get out of the machine through the holes!). Never had a problem - so far (looks round to find some wood)

at my work they are washed at 60 nd then tumble dried although they dont last long but that might also have somthing 2 do with the fact they are probs used 6x a day and wash just as many :O

put them on radiator and have a lovely horsey aroma waft through the house lol.

I always wash at whatever the machine is set at (usualy 30) then tumble, if you have velcro do it up or they all stick together and they come out soooooo tangled,

30 (even the white ones) with the ariel low heat wash. If they look really bad, I stick vanish in. Never tumble dry as just dont trust that and they dry quickly anyway!
