Can I just throw these in the washing machine? Should I soak them in something first? I have my doubts that my washing machine can take out 20+ years of grime . . . . 1988 4Runner, V6 Auto, Mostly Stock 32 x 9.5 Swampers Re: Washing the headrests?

If it looks good, get some regular Oxiclean and mix some in a bucket of hot water to dissolve; let stuff set in it overnight, dump the works in the washer. That's how I clean up my grubby Carhartts at the end of winter. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/oink.gif" alt="" /> http://www.walkablecommunities.org/ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.

I was amazed how well they came out!
