high pressure wash it at a car wash ...then lay it out to dry properly...they will stain from mud like any webbing sling

Straight in the washing machine mate! I actually bought a cheap second hand top loader, just a little one for $50 that is in the shed especially for recovery gear.

Snatch straps, extension straps and winch rope. Then lay it out on the line or in rows on the floored the shed to dry.

Search Washing Machine Top Loader (http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1311.R4.TR11.TRC1.A0 .XWashing+machine&_nkw=top+loader+washing+machine&_sacat=0&_from=R40) on eBay. Heap about for $50 or less. Put it in the garden shed and run a lead when you want to use it. I run a hose out to fill mine ;)

Although if you soak it in a bucket most of the loose stuff will fall off then in the machine by itself for a wash, rinse, spin and happy days

I give mine a quick hose off to remove most of it, then in the everyday washing machine. No detergent, or softener, and cold wash..

Stuffed one washing machine years ago clogged up the filter/pump.
now just soak and scrub in one of those under bed plastic tubs,
mild soap, good time to inspect for damage to. hang up to air dry
