there should be instructions on the tube, unless you threw it out, but basically what he^^ said. Oh yeah, Dont brainfart and put it in the dryer, just ring it out like normal and put it away. Dont ask me how I know.

one more thing is you should put it away "damp". If you lost the tube use a plastic baggy.

Hey its okay to wash them but dont put them in the dryer!! I wash mine and just take them out and ring them very good! Leave them a little damp and put them back in the plastic tube.

or take it home, and fill the sink with water, and squeeze the dirt and crap out if it...run it under water and crap!!!

I just put my Absorbers in the wash this weekend using liquid detergant. Cleaner than it was, but there's still quite abit of gunk on them. I wonder if bleach would screw them up (other than removing the color)?
