if you fold them very gently in half or in 4 if they are fill length you  
can wash them with a non bio liquid in the bath  
 
another idea is to fold them as before & put them into a pillow case & put  
them in the washing machine - they get slighty more creased that way tho  
 
rinse then hang to drip dry  
 
i hung mine back up while still damp to help stop creasing  
 
hope this helps!
