Yes its easy to wash them , and no they won't come to any harm . I have washed several over the years .
Coincidence , have just posted about this on another thread .
If you have mould on the inners, treat it with dilute bleach or milton first , to kill mould and stop it spreading . dip it in a bucket of bleach solution,I just used a glug of bleach like you'd use for bleaching whites, it may not get rid of the black spots, but it will kill it
bung it in the machine , on cool quick wash , non bio liquid , wash, and give an extra rinse to ensure all detergent removed . dry on line .
if it won't fit in your machine, maybe it will fit in the laundrette machines , or you can wash by hand in the bath, just give plenty of rinses.
I first tried this on a tent of my sisters , that was so badly neglected , jam donut left in pod,yukky green mould , tent left in damp shed sat in pool of water by door. , so it didn't matter if it all went horribly wrong , result was perfectly clean sweet smelling inners , good as new.
Another idea is to put it on your delicate/silk wash. I have done this with many items not suitable for washing and they come up a treat. As beefysmum recommends, I would also use bleach/milton to kill the mould and always non-bio to wash. Do-not use fabric conditioner. Hope this helps.
We've washed our Norfolk lake pods a few times in our machine too. I've also steeped them in a very light solution of Milton to kill the mould spores (some in one of the rooms).
