Can you throw these in the washer just like the felt ones? If not, how would I go about cleaning them? I just recently switched from felt to mesh for more flow in the sump so I'm not too sure. Thanks in advance!
 
With Mesh my idea would be scrub with a scrub brush and vinegar or bleach. Than let air dry if using bleach. Wouldn't think it would take much. This is what I do with my gfo bags.

So u haven't had any ill effects with running them in the washer? I figured since they were a thinner material, they may not last as long
