double check your washing machine doesn't have a hand wash only setting as many do these days, if not then use the kitchen sink and warmish water and a small amount of laundry detergent

What material are they made from? Is the washing instructions label still attached?

Idk in a bucket? Could work although I’m not sure it would get enough dirt out

laundry detergent will work better, just make it a small amount, washing up liquid might get too soapy :smile:

If you use a small amount of laundry detergent, and gently massage/rub it so that the material doesn't clump up or get too bobbly, and you could squeeze the water out using towels (I wouldn't risk wringing it out) and let it dry naturally.
