Washing Tzitzit

<< < (2/3) > >>

Spectator:
I avoid washing my tzitzit in washing mashine because it can tear or mess the fringes and I am not sure if such tzitzit is kosher. So I also prefer hand washing.

My advice is to put them in a wash tub, fill it with water, and a handful of washing powder and let it soak for several hours. It really easy to wash the tzitzit after that.

Lubab:
If you're in the NY area most dry-cleaners know how to deal with it.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm in the Boston area. I think washing by hand is the best idea.

JTFenthusiast2:
Please dont them get too dirty because it gives a bad impression to people that we are not clean.  I see many Hasids with filthy tzitzit and it isn't good. 

I grew up in a very orthodox religious neighborhood and sometimes, it seems like the Orthodox are not the cleanest or most hygienic.

It is surely difficult to wash them... I have not asked how my Rabbis take care of theirs. I may just ask...

And what do you do with the older pair? I have heard that it is forbidden to throw away tzitzit. If you have a Rav, why didn't you consult him in the first place?
