Yup!!

I have 25 and 50 micron bags and usually wait til they over flow before washing them
takes 2-5 days depending how much I'm mucking around in the tank before they over flow

I use the 200 micron bags and change them every 3-4 days. I wash mine in the machine in just hot water. We have a cycle on ours that heats the water to just below boiling and it works very nicely. I don't notice a bad smell either.

Do you do one at a time or can you wash 2 or 3 together at a time?
