Might want to check with whoever's appliance it is first. Personally I don't see what the big deal is, get a bucket and either dump some solvent based cleaner on the filter if that's the type oil you use or mix up some NoToil cleaner and get to work.

Unless you are doing 5 or more at a time it isn't worth messing up the washing machine. You also have to check IF the filter oil on them is one which can be water soluable. Some oils need solvent instead of the NoToil or similar systems.

It really is not that hard to do in bucket and now that my wife has her fancy new washing machine I wouldn't dare put the filters in there so I do 5 to 7 in a bucket each time

I can't see anything going wrong here!!!

I use no-toil and wash 5 filters at a time in my washing machine.

Works great. Just make sure you do it on hand wash cycle so you don't rip them apart.

Don't ask me how I learned that :)
