You can't really wash them like normal clothes. What I do is a spray them with fabreeze anti bacterial spray as this gets rid of the sweat smell and kills any bacteria that is in the neoprene. Then the padded section i just wipe over with disinfectant wipes and that its.

I am not sure if you guys get fabreeze but you can use lysol i think its called

Oh another thing I have started to do is after i spray them i hang them outside for a couple of hours. Really helps getting rid of the "Training Smell Of Doom" that they pick up after training

When mine get stanky, I DO throw them into the wash by themselves though. I use very little liquid detergent and use a cold water setting. I air dry for about 2-3 days and I'm good to go.
