In my opinion hand washing would be best, I had used the machine and the interior has been falling apart.

After a good workout, I remove my suit in the shower - giving it a good rinse with just plain water. Hang to dry inside out. I've had no issues so far; suit is performing rather well.

I do the same thing as you do got the inserts: rinse the pee/poop, wash at hot temperature. I use home made detergent

I will quote from the 'manual', "Wash by hand or as follows, in automatic washer using slow agitation and normal spin speed. Fill washer with warm water. Add minimum amount of all purpose detergent, agitate to dissolve. Do not use bleach. Add bedding and soak for five minutes. Agitate for two minutes. Spin. Fill for cool rinse, agitate one minute, then spin. Dry in an automatic dryer on low heat, five minutes only, or line dry over parallel lines. Remove bedding from dryer and drape over parallel lines or a shower rail to finish drying." Also, "Do NOT DRY CLEAN this bedding. Cleaning solvents may have deteriorating effects on the insulation of the heating element."

Instructions say to machine wash. I personally would wash by hand and let air dry. Haven't washed mine yet. If you purchase, I hope you have as much success as I've had with pain relief.

I always wash everything first out of habit, so therefore I recommend it. I feel like it may even recommend that in the instructions but I don't recall.

Wash once or as needed. Don't need to dry until after treating with the soak.

I checked and there was no washing instructions...probably wipe with a damp cloth.

I don't remember what the instructions recommended, but I always wash these by hand. Sorry to not be more helpful than that :-/

They are sketchy on instructions but they do say how to clean - hand wash in cold water with mild soap. No bleach or or fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

I've never washed the whole thing-I think I would take it to the cleaners, and have it professionally cleaned, rather than trying to do it myself, in the washer. If you do decide to wash it, I would do it on the gentle cycle, cold water, and NOT put it in the dryer.

The covers only need to be washed a single time before use. The inserts need to be washed between 3-6 times before use to maximize absorbency. The first wash with soap, usually any brand of free and clear detergent will work fine unless you have hard water.

The directions say hand wash with a mild detergent. I would agree - the surface is so good and wouldn't want it to pit.

The care instructions state: Spot clean only, do not place in washing machine or dryer. Use mild detergent, rinse, squeeze water out gently. Let air dry from direct sunlight and heat.

I agree with Rick. It must be washed immediately, and occasionally oiled with cooking oil.
