My fucking kitten pissed on my Ernie Ball guitar straps. Now they fucking reek.

Is it worth me washing them? If so, how should I go about this?

Hand-wash, like you would delicates.

Indeed, and use Woolite or similar detergent intended for delicates. Air dry. Might want to spray a disinfectant beforehand as well.

Pro-tip, don't put shit in your washing machine.

I'd throw them in a synthetics cycle at 30 degrees then air dry

Optional Lenor for lovely fragrance.

Yeah, it'll distract those guys from asking if your plain white pickup covers are EMGs

I've put gigbags and tennis shoes in the washing machine and they came out fine, nothing broke.

Danke. Might just sling them in a pillowcase and hopefully they'll be alright.
