Thanks again for all the suggestions.
get you a couple of lingerie bags from the dollar store to put your squares in next time. at 4" you can surely wash those in a lingerie bag, no squeezing and set them outside to dry. if it was cigarette smoke there will still be a residue on the fabric even though you can no longer smell the smoke.
