Word to the wise- if your hose doesn't explicitly say it's washable, that means if you run water through it- the innards of the hose will rust and decay. You don't want that happening.
I run water through my hoses from time to time. Cleans out much of the grit and grime. I haven't had any issues with it. They are just rubber hoses usually. Right?
