A continuation of my previous post “I have 100 chokers, What is the best way to store them?”.
Now that I know how to store them, via a giraffe plushie (thank you @ALostInquirer@lemm.ee!), I need to figure out how to wash them.
Washing them all would take far too long, but I can’t simply add them into a delicates bag and toss them into the washing machine because I fear the cheap metal hooks will fall apart / corrode.
How should I was them all?

Judging from your photo, it looks like the hooks might unclip?
I… have not tried that
My wife uses soak no rinse detergent for delicates, might be worth checking out? https://soakwash.com/collections/laundry-soap

Sorry to be dumb but really don’t know…is this some kind of fetish thing?
not speaking for op but usually it’s just a fashion accessory. It’s basically a form fitting necklace
Get a bucket, gloves, and laundry detergent and hand wash them. They’re not thick fabric, so you probably just need to let them soak for a bit then rinse.
If you wash them right after wearing them, it’s going to make it a lot less if a hassle.
Another option is to get a bunch of fabric glasses/sex toy pouches and use them as delicate bags.
I agree with hand washing as best to prevent any chains catching in lacey bits. If daily is a pain, maybe do it once a week. Just put a little detergent in the bathroom sink and give a few swishes and squeezes and hang them on something like this.
If you do want to toss them in the washer, I’d use a lingerie laundry bag and just toss in a few, again to minimize potential snags or tangles and run on the delicate cycle and hang dry. It’d suck to toss a bunch in loose and pull out a big tangled ball. 😧
If the washing machine isn’t an option, dry cleaners.
