Can you put a chamois shammyin the washing machine and if so what settings?

I had the same question and also my chamois is a real skin and not synthetic.

What I found so far was yes BUT only in cold water and the gentle cycle .. or wash by hand in cold water.

More importantly do not put in dryer to dry .. hang dry. That makes perfect sense .. imagine drying a leather jacket in the dryer if it was wet !! It will be ruined.
