If the weathers right, dry them in the sun and air for a good week 10 days forget the oven, to unconventional....

We have not had to much success with anything we have tried. It could just be the had water has a high ph factor. But here's my best suggestion. Dish soap like dawn and a soft toothbrush. If you don't use the toothbrush. They look clean till they dry and then you still see the mud you missed. After washing, rinse with fresh water and you can dry them in the oven, if you have an oven with a pilot, that's fine, if not use the lowest setting. Pilot only leave them dry completely for two-to-three days. Lowest setting, I'm not sure, the trick is to make sure they are completely dry, and it does take days. We've tried heat guns, blow dryers. But the oven is most though; depending on how many you have you can wash them and put them in the sun, till it's their turn in the oven. A friend said he was going to try some type of Alcohol that paint stores sell. I don't know if that works. Believe me when I tell you I know some of your pain. FEMA did nothing for us, since all our lose was business related and they only help residents. My understanding that most of the residents here who lost heaters, water heaters and washer, dryers, are not happy with FEMA either. Grants where only 1-3,000. Anything more where loans, and you needed A1 credit to get them.
