How do you clean your wellies?

So summer means festival season, I got the wellies out. But they're dirty & maybe even a lil smelly! How do you clean yours? I mean the inside lining.. I remember pouring loads of water in them last year but kinda gave up. I'm sure that did more harm than good.

Get a new pair? Throw them into the wash on a 30 degree cycle?
Failing that.. Oust.

If you only wore them for two or three days, they can't be that bad, can they? Maybe you're just being too fussy. Don't forget, wellies are actually designed for a lot more wear and tear than they get at a festival.
Regarding cleaning them, just try a normal shoe-lining cleaner. Just make sure you give them a bit longer to dry than you would a pair or shoes.
