the fumes afterwards are nasty. I had a pair of mechanics gloves drop into a bin of gear oil and they still stink after probably 20 washes and soaking for hours at a time in hot water and dishsoap. Even wearing them for half an hour my hands will smell like gear oil for half a day.
If they're the type that has a divider in them, you can cut the stitch and move it to a more even position that makes both halves the same tightness... or if you aren't confident in doing it, try taking the pouch to a place that hems pants or does shoe repair, they will have a machine that can resew it.
I didn't have to redo the whole length seam on the divider, I just looped it through maybe half a cm on top and bottom and passed the thread through maybe 20 times, it's strong enough to hold it there. It's easy enough to do by hand.
