"Are they not washable?"

Most that I have seen would require hand-washing...not something one can just toss in the washing machine.

"BTW spray on germ killers (I won’t mention any names) are essentially insecticides. Chlorine is a naturally occurring antibacterial agent and is recognized leader in sanitizing protocols."

Chlorine is indeed THE best sanitizing agent, especially for drinking water...but it is FAR from being natural. I worked for Dow Chemical early in my career, and spent more time than I care to recall in and around chlorine production plants.

“Chlorine is indeed THE best sanitizing agent, especially for drinking water...but it is FAR from being natural”

My bad... sort of:

[Search results] “Chlorine is in group 17 of periodic table, also called the halogens, and is not found as the element in nature - only as a compound. The most common of these being salt, or sodium chloride, and the potassium compounds sylvite (or potassium chloride) and carnallite (potassium magnesium chloride hexahydrate).”

I was thinking element.
