Has anyone put their Havaianas in the washing machine?

Just that really.

Don't want to throw my lovely yellows away but they look grubby now. Has anyone tried it?

Yes, I have (in a pillowcase, 30 degree wash without conditioner) and it worked well.

I don't think they would come up clean. I scrub my white ones with cif, that works

I did, they didn't look much cleaner when theycame out. I scrub my dd's crocs with fairy liquid and they come up very clean, maybe try that instead.

I haven't put them in the washing machine but periodically I put them in the dishwasher (yep really) which was recommended, and they come up like new. Not so noticeable on the dark colours but brilliant for the bright ones.

Many many times, just in a 40 wash with clothes, always come up sparkling.

Don't use fabric conditioner in the wash though or they will come out slippy.

I did but it didn't help, mine are still grubby. Need to replace really.
