We usually use the 40 degree Eco-wash cycle on our washing machine, which gets our clothes as clean as you could reasonably wish.
I took out a load yesterday to hang in the garden (more greenie bonus points to me for not sticking it straight into the tumble dryer!) and found a cartridge for The Lad's hand held Nintendo electronic thingy.
I explained to him that he should really check his pockets before chucking trousers into the laundry basket because the water will ruin anything electronic and he was a bit downhearted, but he put it back in the Nintendo anyway just to see what would happen, and to our amazement it still worked
So now you know.

Wash proof eh? I use the 30 degree myself - don't trust it.
I've left my 2 gig memory stick in my pocket quite a few times when the wife's put my jeans through the wash. Most of these kind of items are sealed against a normal wash/ light liquid emersion :)
There used to be a few articles on geek sites about putting your keyboard in the dishwasher to give it a good disinfectant clean (you then have to let it dry for a couple of days).
