I wanted to know if its okay to put it in the washing machine despite being semi-soaked with the remover. Thanks.

The active and flammable ingredient in most of these is Acetone. If it is really soaking wet with it, hang it outside to dry before popping in the washing machine. If it's only damp, throw it straight in. Acetone is somewhat soluble in water and will be cleaned up in no time.

I would say no unless you are going to wash it by itself. If you put it in and wash it with other stuff there might be something which is synthetic such as nylon, rayon, polyester or something that the polish remover would eat a hole in.
You could probably wash it by hand with the hose or in the sink, let it air dry in the sun and then it would be all right to put in the washer.

I'm sure its ok, just wash it alone just in case the nail polish remover reacts with other clothes or towels. Soak it perhaps as well.

Wash it in the sink by hand straight away and hang to dry. Chemicals like that are combustible and if left just sitting could catch fire.

Rinse it out several times in a bucket filled with clear water and the got ahead and wash it. DON"T USE BLEACH. Just wash it in regular detergent.

reckoning on how lots "elbow grease" you prefer to apply, you could attempt a mild sanding accompanied by using sparkling polyurethane end. Use the 600 grit sandpaper, by way of fact it is going to do away with the wood/end slowly, and much less probable which you dig into the wood too deeply. purely sand adequate to get flat sense to the touch. you could sand until you do no longer sense a pointy side b/w the uncovered wood patch and something of the intact coating. for ideal shade end you could % a wood end with appropriate shade to your latest table shade. Walmart: sandpaper $2, pint of end $6-$12, brush $a million

Sure just wash it alone or with other towels that you use for outside work.

I have done it before-the towel was a little discolored afterward. I wouldnt wash it with any other clothes...just by itself :-)

Yes, but if you are worried about the chemicals, just rinse it out a bit in your shower/tub and then throw it in with everything else.
