I had to do some laundry tonight, so I decided to see how it would affect some of my figures. A grimy green Teapack Man with a broken handle was an obvious choice, and he was joined by an absolutely filthy Neptune Man. I started the washing machine on warm, threw some liquid All into it, and waited for the agitator to fill. Then I tossed the laundry in, along with the figures.

When the cycle was complete, I took a look-see. The figures were not damaged any further, which was a good thing. However, Neptune Man was still dirty--though not to the degree he was before he went in--and Teapack Man still had grime on him. Some of said grime came off with a toothbrush, but other than some possible lightening, the washing machine had little effect on him, either.

I tried to take some before and after pictures, but they were absolute crap, so I had to delete them. But bottom line? Too much time for less than desirable results. Has anyone else had better luck with running M.U.S.C.L.E. through the washing machine?

Never. And what a waste of water to clean Muscles! Nice experiment though!

If I wasn't washing a huge load of laundry, I wouldn't have fired up the machine!

at Meat and the underwear! Actually, these guys went in with the towels.

And Meat, as well as the others, will henceforth take their baths i warm water and dish soap.

Do you use powder or liquid laundry soap, Mischa? I think the powder might be more effective, but my ex-girlfriend was allergic to it, so I couldn't use it.

My wife uses powder concentrate , and i threw a few in over the weekend , these guy's we not particularly dirty as all my good figures are close to mint , it's hard to say how well the washing did , but it did improve them some.

so Jet i don't think it'll be replacing my usual cleaning methods, with the washing machine just yet
