We always used to wash our cukes in the washing machine so they would be clean for pickling. Now both my brother and I have front loaders and aren't sure the cukes would survive an attempt.
My grandmother used to wash her in her wringer washer when I was a little girl.
but sure wish I did! I just soak mine in the sink for a few hours in cold water with ice or frozen bottles of water that we use for our coolers.
I'm guessing that since the motion of a front loader is vertical rather than horizontal agitation, the cukes are likely gonna take a bruising. Just a guess.
