If you hand wash very gently (or just soak) in warm soapy water in the bath, pressing them down gently in the water repeatedly while keeping them flat, and then rinse gently, again flat, then let them drip dry flat, and dry out on a hot sunny day, all the time flat, they might just survive (barring pigeons). Using a washing machine (even on the shortest and gentlest setting) and/or tumble dryer usually destroys them. |

Drying I find is an issue, sit them in front of a fan for 3 days, or hang under a ceiling fan for 3 days. More of aproblem with feathers, where this treatment is just enough. NT |
