Wallet when through wash/dry

[ViRaLRuSh]

Never had this happen before, so I dont know exactly how this works. Is my credit/bank card going to still work ok? Should I put the wallet emptied out in front of the heat vent for a bit? Just curious as to what you guys would do.

Iron your credit cards. : )

The washer may not have done anything, but the dryer has probably damaged the magnetic strip on your card. You can see if a local merchant can run it, but chances are you're going to need to contact your credit card company for a replacement.

I've had a few wallets go through the wash. The bills get a little crispy and any loose paper gets shredded up, but other than that everything was fine.

the best way to dry the stuff is to spread everything out on a couple paper towels and and microwave it for about 1 minute

They were still kinda wet when they came out, not fully dry. Does that matter?

Shouldn't cause any problems, you might make sure you have cash available the next time you use your credit card just in case. Maybe try to buy something really cheap on it to make sure the Mag stripe still works. Spread it out and let it air dry.

Give me your credit card numbers and expirations and I'll see if they are still working okay
