I had to take panelling & insulation down to get the basement waterproofed & the loose insulation covered me with fiberglas.

Toss 'em...Don't take the chance of not only having the fiberglass still present in your clothes after washing, but the fibers may be able to stick around your washer, possibly getting on your other clothes in the future

I personally would throw them away, Even if you get some out, you now have to worry if you will break out with a rash with what left. If you do it would have to be done by hand, not to get it on any other clothing or in the washing machine. and make sure you wear gloves.

Wash them, but the bulk of the fiberglass will be removed in the dryer. Take the lint trap outside when you ''dump'' it, so as not to re-release the fibers into the house atmosphere.

I have heard that it's best to wash them in cold water, several times, but I would throw them out.

Dry Cleaners may be the best way to at least try. Otherwise, I wouldnt throw them away, but maybe use them just for doing odd jobs around the house. (ie. mowing, fixing the car, etc.)

throw them out, once fiberglass gets in your clothes its like dog hair. It has barbs on it and it sticks to anything.
