What is your preferred washing method?

[meowmeowmeow]

I'd like to invest in a steamer sometime for blocking, and I've heard that kind of cleans the items too.

Recently though, I've come across these sheets you're supposed to just stick in the dryer with your unwashed dry-clean only clothes.I've also seen this Wool Wash stuff you use wet in the sink and lay out to dry.

I'm assuming all of you have at some point needed to wash something,so what's your method?What would you recommend? I've never really knit anything that needed washing as all of it has been light wear stuff that will never really get dirty.
