My washing machine does not allow me to put waterproof stuff in it. Is the material such that I can just wipe it down if it gets wet?

No, you would have to wash in a machine. It's cloth on top but just has a waterproof backing to protect your mattress. I would think any machine would be fine with it.

Yes, you can wipe it down. This is not the first one I buy. My wife is a stickler about cleanliness so she ignored that we should wash it as little as possible. The first one I had, was washed in the washing machine and after a two or three years, the waterproof face came off so I knew it was time to replace it. I think the life expectancy was reasonable since we shortened the life by putting it in the washer.

The exterior is more of a cloth material. I am not sure wiping it down would work real well. I am pleased with ours. My son has allergies, and this has a been a great help and is a nice quality product compared to items I have bought in the past.

No. The water-proof material is in the middle of the soft covering on both top and bottom. It would be easily hand washed in the kitchen sink. It has worked wonderfully for my young daughters mattress even on nights when large accidents occur. The mattress has stayed completely dry.

Not really. There are other covers that are just plastic, but this is plastic with a polyester fabric on top of it. It works best if it is laundered in a regular washing machine.

you can place the cover in the washing machine (gentle cycle) and you can dried it (low heat).

It feels like a knit fabric. You could hand wash it and it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck!

Hey there! I don't believe so.. as this isn't vinyl that you can easily wipe wetness off (I had the vinyl one before I bought this but that made my children very uncomfortable in sleeping).

Your best bet would be to sweep it with a broom or hose it off. It doesn't come apart but it does unfold. It's a soft material that would dry quickly but it's not vinyl or anything "water proof".

I have washed stuff that was made out of the same material and it fell apart so I wouldn't advise the washing machine.

This item is both water repellent as well as resistant with a 3 year warranty. I wouldn't know how well that protection would hold up if you put it in a washer. You might have to buy something to re-treat it. I just bought this item recently, so I haven't had the need to clean it. I would recommend you try contacting the manufacturer direct.

No, it is not water proof. My device didn't survive the washer/dryer. Have to buy a new one!

We just wipe off the outside with a damp cloth. I don't want to jeopardize the integrity of the material. They work great!

I wouldn't put it in the washer, could tear it up or fall apart and damage the machine. I would just run it through cold or lukewarm water.

According to Marrikas the tag says "dry clean." However, they also said that both the cover and the fill can withstand water. My interpretation from their response is that you're on your own, but machine washing will probably be OK. I have personally machine-washed down comforters in the past. Assuming there is nothing unique about this one, it should be OK. (Cold water, gentle cycle, low heat dryer.)

Not the type of material to wash by machine (sort of like an innertube material). I simply wipe it off with a damp rag. Stays pretty clean (I have an orange one, looks like new after nearly daily use for the last six months).

No you can't wipe it down. It doesn't go through, but the top is terry clothe fabric so you can't wipe it.

This is a really good question, Danielle. I had not needed to do any cleaning of my hamper so I went to look at it and investigate a little for you. There is a liner around the entire interior which is different from the outer material and feels like it will keep moisture from wicking through to the outside fabric. I held a cloth saturated with water against the inside material and got no soaking through to the outside at all. I also held the wet cloth against the outside material and got no soaking through to the inside either. In fact, neither the inside nor the outside showed any evidence of having been wetted. So, I think this hamper will be easy to spot clean (both inside and out) and to spritz with a cleaning solution and wipe clean. Anything more thorough than that I don't know. I can't say positively that the product is "water proof" but it definitely resists a thorough wetting. It does fold flat when you remove the top. Hope this helps.

No I wouldn't put it in the washer machine. It is more like plastic type material.

I don't think it will hold up to the washing machine. The paper is rain resistant for sure, but I have had mine in a soaked pocket all day and some of the pages started to get wet around the edges. I would say submersion in a washing machine would not work out even if the pages weren't cut.

I would have to give the same answer as b52 listed here. I wouldn't hesitate to spot clean it, but I would not put it in a washing machine. It's an absolutely marvelous invention!

Yea, the material is waterproof wipe clean kind. You can throw it in the washer dryer too. Had seen a youtube review stating that. I havent needed to do that yet though. I love my bag, very spacious.

Yes. You can put the cover in the washing machine and the drier. It is super easy to put it back

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.
