Some carseat covers are advertised as hand wash only. Can you put this cover IN the washing machine? Thanks for your help!

Yes you can on gentle cycle and line dry. It is a serious pain to take off though.

I've washed it several times in the machine and then air dried it. The headpiece liner I couldn't figure out how To get off bc it had an elastic securing it that I couldn't get unconnected. I gave up and cut it, and it never affected the way it fit back on. I've washed it about 3 times and it still fits fine and looks good

I wouldn't use it in a washer unless you wash it on delicate. I usually like to hand wash mine.

I wouldn't put the covers in my washing machine as they are to bulky. I spray the covers with fantastic and just hose them off. That works for me.

No, you can not put it in the washing machine. You can use a wet towel to wipe it down.

I wouldn't wash it in a machine... First off it's likely too big... But I clean mine with some simple fabric cleaners, the material actually doesn't get very dirty from my experience in using mine. It's a good quality collapsible screen.

They absolutely do sell carseat covers. I have ordered 2 from them. Very affordable. I believe I paid 33 dollars for a new carseat cover only, I did not need the infant insert as my daughter is old enough to not use. You can call the customer service number on their website. I found them to be very helpful.

The cover that comes with it is washable but, I have not been able to find covers from Amazon. I haven't looked anywhere else but, I'm sure covers are out there somewhere.

I washed it twice in the gentle cycle because the recommendation says to hand wash with a wet cloth and that's just to much trouble. It came out clean. I have not had it covered in extreme mud but you can maybe pre treat with scotch guard to be on the safe side. We like the cover and are happy with it keeps the seat clean.

When my seat cover gets dirty, I just throw it in the washer on gentle cycle, and it comes out like new again! I'm not sure if they actually sell the seat cover by itself.

I don't know about the car seat, but we have only hand washed it. We use a wool wash (Eucalan Lanolin Enriched Delicate Wash, purchased on Amazon). And then we just hang it out to dry. It will look really matted when its wet, but will dry nicely and be just as soft and fluffy as when new. We really have only ever washed if when our kid's thrown up or something serious. Due to the lanolin in wool, it is naturally antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal. When urine or breast milk comes in contact with wool - even saturating it - wool is self-cleaning due to lanolin's anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. Rather than washing with regular detergent and rinsing, wool should be soaked or washed in a lanolin wash and not rinsed. This is important to know, because rinsing the lanolin from the wool will take away many of the benefits. The lanolin is the natural wax that needs to remain in the wool in order to help make it so amazing! Hope this is helpful. And we have washed ours every 6mos or so, outside of the situations I mentioned above :)

I wouldn't think so - its lined with plastic so you can just wipe it down, but people usually buy covers for them that can be thrown in the wash.

You cannot wash this unless you just wipe it off with a damp rag. It's plastic coated. I recommend buying the cover which is washable

What smell? Mine didn't have an unpleasant odor, but I have washed the cover on gentle in our washing machine once with no issues...Not sure you're supposed to do that but I have a small toddler so I went for it.

Honestly I haven't tried to wash although it looks like you can. My seat is fairly new so I have spot washed. It keeps clean with all the spills day in and day out. the material doesn't absorb the spills so it is ideal for us.

Yes, the covers are removable and clean nicely in the washing machine. The problem with them is that they get dirty easily as they are very light in color so you have to wash them a lot.

We have not had to wash it to this point. I would put the question to the manufacturer at http://www.khmfg.com/deluxe-car-seat-saver.html if Carol's message doesn't satisfy your concerns.

I've never washed it in the machine. I don't think it would take it well. It really should be hand washed only. That's what I've always done.
