Can you wash a lens cloth?

[EMA747]

The title says it all really. Can you wash dirt out or does it mess up the fibres? I have a load of lens cloths in a drawer that have got a bit grubby and I hate throwing things away if they can be used again.

It is recommended you wash them regular, or you'll end up putting grime back onto your lens. Just make sure it's completely dried out before re-using.

Yes I have wash mine many times,also it can make them a bit softer

don't use fabric conditioner on them though as it leaves a chemical in the material, just soap, a good rinse and propoerly dry as Cagey says.
