Silk liners - how do I wash them etc.?

[Manictigger]

The instructions etc seem to be in German. The symbols seem to show that they are handwash only but would I get away with putting them in a gentle wash? And what detergent do I use? (Am starting to think they might be more trouble then they're worth actually...)

TIA

Hand wash only I am afraid and dry flat if possible AFAIK

They are handwash only, but I have put mine in the machine (too much bother to handwash IMO ). They might have shrunk a tiny little bit but are perfectly OK otherwise.

People don't honestly handwash them if they have poo on them do they??

Thanks people. They look rather large to begin with so some shrinkage might be welcome. Do I basically treat them the same as fleece ones then (apart from the drying flat)?

I just stick mine in the washer with everything else and I haven't bothered drying them flat either. They do seem to have gone a bit crunchy
