Maybe a front loading washing machine would work, but a top load machine with an agitator would not be good at all for the armour.
You could get something like a Rubbermaid storage container that is big enough to hold the armour. You could use it as a small tub to wash your armour, and when you’re done using it as a wash tub you can use it to store your gear. Or maybe a plastic waste basket would also work?
I’ve put my Roach knockoffs (marked Nuke Proof) in the washing machine with no ill effects. Just make sure all the velcro straps are closed, and use the gentle cycle. If they can’t survive a washing what good are they?! 
thanks- thats a really good idea

I put them in the washing machine (for clothes) on the wool washing program using detergent for colored clothes. 30 deg C I think, and little movement. Works perfectly.

I have washed both my 661 4x4 leg protectors and my Harbinger 110G wrist guards in a front-loading washing machine on the gentlest program setting without anything else in the machine. Only once so far. They came out very well.
