Do not leave them in your jeans and then wash your jeans in washer.
Good thing I had all those images backed up. Now I am leaving them to dry. Lets see if they pass the washing machine test. :D |

| The only exposed parts of a CF card are the contacts. Everything else is sealed in plastic. They should be fine. |

As others said, you should be fine.... as long as you didn't use Downey or Snuggle in the wash or your images will come out soft. :-) -sorry, couldn't resist.
Just give it a couple days in a warm, dry environment to fully dry out and they should work. |
