Hello  I’ve just been given some kids ball pool balls that have been in my nans shed for years, they looks perfect condition but obviously want to clean them before we use them, I’ve heard you can put them in the washing machine, does anyone know what setting and if I put a wash tablet or anything in with them? Thanks

Use the bath. Washer might melt them, plus it's a bit of a waste of energy. Good old soap and water and they'll be good as new.
