i wash them to remove quilting lines, cat hairs etc. i don't use fabric softener however because of chemical allergies unless it is the "green" variety. 7th generation makes one i can use for most of my allergic friends.

Works a treat, makes the washing powder go further and doesn't clog up your machine like softener or too much soap.

The way you wrote your post brought a big smile to myself.

Plus it seems that it would work well! :)

I always wash mine and use fabric softener - I LOVE to see them FLUFF UP!!!
