Try shaking them gently in a bag with ordinary household salt. That has worked for me.

I agree with annemollie, salt is the best thing and cheap as well!

I took a chance and very gently swished mine in cool water with a couple of drops of stergene added, rinsed, gave them a shake and hung them upside down to dry. They were fine.

I agree with Robinia, just quickly dip in tepid water and washing up liquid ..... mine were fine.

I wash mine in the sink - or take them into the garden and hose them - or more recently I blasted them with the steam cleaner.

Will the dust blow off, if so maybe an hairdryer would blow it off.
