Hi All,
I also wash my glass beads, but I haven't done it in a laundry bag - I put
the beads in a tea infuser, in the dishwasher, when the dishwasher is on an
economy or quick wash. (For those not in the UK where tea is the national
beverage, a tea infuser is like a small ball with handles like a tea-spoon,
in two halves, where the handles clip together, and the ball has tiny holes
in it. It was used to make individual cups of tea - tea leaves - not
tea-bags - were put in the ball, the whole thing was closed up so leaves
couldn't escape, and then the boiling water was poured over the infuser into
the cup.)
However, we do it, it obviously works, and makes the beads sparkle.!

The glass beads on the other hand will probably come up nicely if you
soak
them for a bit in some warm soapy water.
. The beads would arrive in
the post smothered in the loose powder and as I spangled it would get on
to the bobbins too and make them a bit grubby. So I used to put a kilo or
two of these beads into a net drawstring bag, that I had made form a bit
of old net curtain, and washed them in warm water. It was easy to wash,
rinse and
