Anyone have a good way to clean washable playing cards?

I realize they are washable ,but that does not mean you can toss them in bucket of water. They can warp or bend. Plus they are kinda exspensive.

Cleaning Playing Cards





You can quick-clean most household playing cards by putting them into a paper bag and adding several tablespoons of flour, talcum powder or cornstarch. Shake well. Then wipe off each card with a paper towel.








You can also try this home-style method for removing fingerprints: Rub the card with a piece of white bread, then wipe clean with a dry cloth. Keep in mind that using water or solvents on inexpensive cards is likely to cause warping; if your cards are stained or they feel greasy, it may be time to buy a new deck.





However, if you have the better grade plastic-coated cards, you can dampen a clean cloth with a solution of cold water and several drops of mild soap (not detergent). Rub the damp cloth over both sides of the card, then dry ASAP with another soft, clean, dry cloth. Let the cards air-dry completely before you put them away

Reply:I have done this in the past, with a cloth dipped in warm soapy water and they come up a treat. Hope this is helpful to you.
Reply:I would try anti-bacterial wipes and papertowel to dry them off immediately after. Good Luck!
