Shug7272 Posted April 21, 2006 CID Share Posted April 21, 2006 Actually you can wash a floppy. It could ruin it but I have had to do it before. Just pull the sleeve back and wash it with distilled water. Then put it in an oven with the door cracked and the dial set to WARM, put it on the lowest rack. This has worked for me before. If it doesnt oh well its ruined anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
