Never had anything like that go thru the wash. Sounds like a good plus for USAKilts.

HOWEVER, last December during one of our worst snows, I asked my wife what was banging in the dryer. She didn't know but came in the office a little later and said, "I found out what was making the noise." Then handed me my cell phone. Took the battery out and set it over one of the furnace vents for the weekend. Put the battery back in and it worked. Samsung make good phones
