Is this washable? I think my bird has mites and I scrubbed everything and I was wondering if I can wash it or just buy a new one?

i wash mine and it's still looking great!! I wash anything that doesn't have artificial color on it. :)

it should be its suppose to be made of natural materials so wood is natural and is able to get wet, clean it and let it air dry. That's too bad re: mites; something we dread, have seen them in the store with mites and its not a pretty sight.

IM sure you can, it may take awhile to dry out, i would wash it and dry it out in the sun. it is a real coco nut.if your bird is plucking her feathers or loosing them, it could be self mutilation from lack of having enough attention. i have parrots. good luck! hope your bird gets better!

If it were me I would toss it. Mites can be serious so although you could wipe it off, I would just buy a new one. You have to clean everything really well. You can use neem on the back...on drop between the wings and I have gone so far as washing the area around the cage with diluted cedar oil. Good luck!

It is absolutely NOT machine washable. I just tried to wash it in the machine, low temp, gentle, just a little soap. The pattern is almost completely gone. Looks terrible now. The reason I washed it is because it stunk like mildew (after only a month of use, and ventilation is reasonably good in my BR).

Yes, it is washable. I rinse off whatever the residue is then wash it with dish detergent; rinse well, then hang to dry on the potrack hooks. I have also, on a whim, spread it out in the top rack of the dishwasher! That works too. :-)

Because of the materials, I would only wash this by hand in cool water and air dry. I like this product, but mine is new and I haven't had cause to wash it yet. It wipes off easily with a damp cloth.

Sorry Norm - Never thought of washing it - when I have used it (winter) - I keep it in the back along w/ brush and 'sticky roller' - just a light fluffing, etc. and it is good as the day I bought it almost a year now - I myself would NOT recommend it, by try googling the company and ask - they might know - Sorry again for not having a most definitive ans. - james

I've had mine a few years and it's still almost like new. In fact, I used it this morning. Even though it's machine washable, I wash mine by hand in the sink with warm water and a mild soap, like hand soap. I think that helps and also I've only used lotion with it, nothing medicinal or harsh.

I have not washed the mit. They put new one in every box. When I am done I put it over bottle and let it dry before next use.

I have never had to clean mine. But it looks like a damp cloth alone may work or a damp cloth with a mild soap might do the trick. It's made of a material that is suede-like, maybe a chamois.I hope that helps you.

I have been putting a little bit of this in the aspen shavings for my breeding and baby birds. Cockatiels and conures and It is made for poultry. I only put a little sprinkle to the shavings and mix it. Never had mites.

No, my pet repeller does not need to be washed. My dog does not put his paw on it. I had this for one year

You can remove the outer covering and toss it in the wash. Or you could try to vacuum it. The smell on mine dissipated in a little over a week. So you have to deal with it for now. The more you "re-fur" it, the sooner it stops smelling weird.

I wouldn't recommend washing it ... It's not a thick comforter... I love it but use it mostly for looks ... And it won't fall apart unless you have a cat that keeps clawing on it lol it is a beautiful comforter I would buy it again ... =)

This unit is absolutely NOT washable. I have the user manual in-hand. In the "Cleaning & Maintenance" section it clearly states "Cleaning should only be done with a soft brush..." Also, in other parts of the user guide, it states that the unit should not be exposed to moisture. I would like to know how other users have concluded that this product is washable. What's more, the product description On amazon clearly indicates that it is not washable - these are rarely incorrect. What am I missing?

Hello Erica, I really could not say if it is machine washable or not. I wish I could! You might try calling or e-mailing the company to find out. I have it put away, but when I can, I will get it out and see if it is. Sooooooooo! If you would like, in a day or so ask me again and I will be able to help you! No problem on my part!------Ron

Hi.. I have used this particular bird feeder for years. When I clean it during the warmer weather, I use a bottle brush to clean it and at the end of the season I clean and sterilize for storing. I have never had a problem with it being dirty. I don't use the ends that keep the bees out because they become too aggressive and will not the birds in to feed. Hope that helps some
