putting golf balls in a washing machine?

[snell]

Hi

The title is pretty self explanatory. Has anyone tried this?

My practice balls are pretty filthy and don't fancy hand washing them, so being lazy I was going to put them in the washer, but I'm thinking it can't be that easy right??

Just try it and let us know if you can buy another machine over Easter

Put them in the dishwasher

 

[Which tree did that hit]

Wouldn't do it myself for fear of being shot by the missus but if I were to attempt then I would wrap them In a couple of pillow cases and make sure not to exceed the max load weight of the machine.

Dishwasher would be a better bet if you have one, I have done that and it works a treat. Low heat Eco wash is perfect

My nephew spends his spare time searching the bushes of local muni courses to find balls and sell on ebay. He puts the balls in his dad's spare washing machine that he uses for for cloths. he puts them on a hot wash with two small towels inside and they come out immaculate.

Washing machine is still going strong.

Considering my wife goes NUTS when she finds a golf tee in the machine, i wash mine in the sink

Cheers for all the replies. Unfortunately I don't have a dish washer.

Might just use the sink due to the fear of the missus!

Really? That's clever! Might start a new thread about free Ferrari's for people called Paul 😃

Tried the dishwasher when the wife was at work. Good for surface dirt but doesn't get into the dimples

Washed mine yesterday, bucket of hot boiling water with thin bleach in, quick stir, leave for an hour or 2, then a quick wipe with a towel and come up like new.

Last time I stuck my balls in the dish washer we had a pregnancy scare...

I'm going to put my ball in a washing machine on Monday or 36holes round Saunton in the middle of storm Katie as it is otherwise known.

I'm predicting reductions only

This is the best way.

Goot tip although I'm not sure I'd bother with practice balls. I have some old Pro V I use for short game work that I'd probably keep clean if they got caked in mud. Otherwise, I'd just hit the practice ones as it. They don't have mud stuck on so shouldn't affect flight.

I believe Adam Johnson was caught with some DVD's with that kind of stuff on.
