How do you wash slippers without ruining them?

Consider machine washing them.
  1. Use warm (not hot) to make sure you don't shrink the slippers. Use a gentle cycle that won't bang them out of shape. If you want to toss them in with the regular wash, use a washing machine bag like you'd use for a sweater.
  2. Use a low heat setting to dry. You can also allow them to air dry.
