Well, a few weeks ago, I lost an expensive, fast SD card. I searched everywhere: floors, under furniture, pockets in pants, shirts and jackets. Nope. It was $159 CAD and I was unhappy.
Today, home management decreed that I needed to clean the shirts and pants off the "tree" in my corner of the bedroom...I had amassed quite a collection. A few items were returned to the tree (with a promise that I would wear them) and a few were put into the wash. My wife then did a load of laundry and when done the elusive card was in the bottom of the washing machine tub.
I had heard they were quite durable and survive being washed. The images on the card (that I had download on August 10) were all viewable. I formatted the card and ran a few tests. It seems totally fine.
So if you are going to wash an SD card, just use cold water, regular cycle and Kirkland laundry soap.
