Has anyone washed a packit in the washing machine?

I honestly don't know if you can wash it. The inside is that vinyl material so when my son brings it home from lunch and it's sticky or wet or full of crumbs, I just rinse it out under the tap and wipe it dry with some paper towel. I love these things!

Yes, I have. I pop it in with a load of towels and let it air dry. This takes care of any outside staining - they clean up beautifully!!

It is not necessary to wash in a machine. I just washed it by hand in my sink with dishsoap and a scrubbie sponge.

I washed it by hand because it has a very strong smell. But the smell did not go away.

If you spill something in it, then hand wash it with mild detergent, then use a sani-wipe and dry it. Then let it air dry before refreezing it. We get new ones at the beginning of each school season, or if one of the grandkids get really carried away and destroy it. I don't think they would last very long in a washing machine of any type.

No, not yet. When I do, it will be in the washing machine with cold water. Then, I will air dry it. That is my plan. It works for most unusual things.

Yes, it will go through the washer just fine(gentle cycle). BUT i found if I just pop my kids lunch into a gallon freezer bag then put the whole thing into the lunch box, there is hardly a need to wash it.

I wash mine in the washing machine along with a load of towels. It comes out looking new.

I haven't washed it in a machine; however I would suggest using an antibacterial spray and let it air dry.

No. I place mine in a laundry bag and throw it into the washing machine with my satin bedsheet. I use woolite and cold water setting for both.

I simply throw it in with my sheets in the regular washer and dryer. Haven't had any problems.

I have never tried to put it in a washing machine. I don't know if it would hold up. All I have done is shake it out or take it outside and hose it down. It cleans off very easily.

Yes, I washed and dried it and it came out fine. Surprisingly, the backing didn't come apart in either machine. I have a front loading machine, a bit gentler than top loaders.

I have washed my bag in the washer before and it did fine, but I did not put it in the dryer. I let it hang dry.

i have not yet cleaned it only aired it out. I intend to wash it in a gentle warm wash in the washing machine when it needs it.

I have not washed it in a machine, however, I do not know why you couldn't.

Yes I've machine washed mine a few times since I've had it and it's still in the same shape. I took it to the laundromat because it's way to big for my regular washer

I have not washed mine but I would feel comfortable hand washing it or put it in a laundry bag and wash on delicate cycle. Should be fine. Good luck.

Yes. I have. thrown mine in the washing machine numerous times and it comes out looking like new every time. The squeaker is in a velcro pocket and removes before washing.

Yes. I've washed and dried mine several times and it came out looking new. I did use cool water wash.

Not at all! I have washed mine at least five times and its as good as when I took it out of the bag. I know what you mean when you ask the question, especially after you wash it. Well worth the money. Take the chance, you will not be disappointed.

I have not tried to put them in the washing machine, because I do not have one. But I have washed the fan and duster attachments by hand. That worked just fine.

I have not had it, nor used it long enough to wash it. I certainly hope it can be put in the washer as one comforter that I had placed in the washer came out with very little filling left! That was NOT purchased from Amazon.
