Can you wash the Wildkin Horse Dreams lunchbox in the washing machine? Mine has gotten very dirty and i don't know how to wash it!!

I haven't tried the washing machine, but I've hand washed it in the sink with dishsoap, and let it air dry over the weekend, and it washes up fairly well. Sometimes I just use some cleaner on a towel and wipe it out as well, and that works pretty nicely too. If you do wash it in the machine, let me know how it comes out- I think it'd be fine, as long as the cycle is gentle and you don't heat dry it....

Have not tried putting in washing machine, but have cleaned it with soap and warm water in the sink and it did really good.

I didn't put it in the washing machine but I have soaked it in a sink full of water with some Oxyclean in it and it came out perfect.

Yes, we have another Wildkin lunch box & I've washed it several times in the washer. Air dry it, though. It's lost it's rigid shape, but we used it for 2+ years before purchasing another - and for this reason.

We never had to wash ours, but it doesn't look sturdy enough to do so. Might want to hand wash it.

Since he is so big I would just do a spot clean it. If you have to wash it I would advise putting it in a body pillow case and toss it in your washer. Then I would tumble dry it low for about 30mins then let it air dry would like any other stuffed animal.

I never found any need to wash mine with the dishwasher. I simply rinse out the basket assuring that all of the romaine lettuce is rinsed out and dry with a dish towel. I do the same with the bowel. The top stays dry unless you really get carried away.. You could also use a little dish soap and a soft brush if you feel so inclined. to. The darned thing would take a lot of space up in the dishwasher anyway and is really not worth the trouble. I'm so happy that I chose this one as it is made extremely well and works great. I would certainly buy another but this one last a life time.

I haven't had mine for very long, but so far, so good! I don't think I'd put them in the dishwasher - hand wash these puppies! Since they are shiny, I like to dry them by hand... I only have two, so it's really not a hard thing to do. I hope that helps! :)

I've owned it about 8 months and put it into a special allergan cover that removes the need to wash. I washed my last one(Different Company) and it turned into a petri dish. I would remove the buckwheat if I were to wash it. The owners/manufacturers are really cool and VERY quality oriented. They can probably help you better. But, whatever you do, you MUST BUY this pillow. It's the best! They even wrap it up in a nice big bow, because they really care. I'm a HUGE fan! Robert

Strangely, most stuffed animals say not to machine wash them. But with two small children in my house, sometimes they need a real good cleaning. When I clean any of my girls' stuffed things, I put them with a couple other things in a lingerie bag and toss them in with my regular laundry. That usually seems to protect them from the agitation while still getting them nice and clean. You can do it on the gentle cycle if you like. The dryer can be tricky, but, again, I have never had any problems, as long as I only use low heat. The thing to remember is that you want to make sure the stuffed thing gets *completely* dry so no mold or mildew grows inside it. As a side note, I have learned that you should not wash stuffed things with towels. They get covered in a weird film of towel fuzz.

I believe the whole thing is washable but I wouldn't use hot water. I have only washed the removable cushion so far. I have 3 of these beds and I threw all three removable cushions in the washer on cold water. The stitching on one of the cushions came loose during the wash and a good bit of stuffing came out. I was a bit shocked to see all of that stuffing in the washing machine. I was able to easily re-stuff the cushion and sew up the opening. I did not put them in the dryer because the label only said washable. I hung them up and they were dry in a few hours. Our cats really love these beds.

Yes. I have washed mine. Just use a clean pillowcase to put the buckwheat hulls in and wash the original pillowcase. You could use a small plastic garbage bag to hold the hulls but you will lose a few(due to static electricity) when you transfer them back to the original pillow.

I haven't washer mine yet. When I do wash it, I'll put it in a bucket with cold water and some mild soap, and swish it around. Air dry. It'll be fine.

I've not washed mine and they just use it as a play house (not a litter box cover). It's made of nylon and I haven't seen the need to wash it.

Yes! I washed it in my dish washer! It's very nice. wash the lid separately to keep the cute design on there. :3

We have washed ours too - the only problem is even the washer doesn't get all the food off of the pad backing YUCK - I also wouldn't recommend it because like "Mom3times" said it is hard to keep it clean.

My husband hand washes it with soap water and a sponge. He doesn't have an issue. I wouldn't leave food for a long time on it. That may make it difficult to clean.

I wipe it with a damp washcloth. You can not get it wet, and I know between food and drool it gets messy, but I usually wipe it down with a washcloth as I take it off for bath time. My daughter is almost 3 and still wears hers constantly.

I have not had to clean it yet, normally i just shake it off well before stuff sacking it. However, I don't think i personally would trust putting this in the washing machine, and definitely not the dryer. I'd worry about something twisting up or catching on something. I would probably recommend hand washing and then hanging it to dry if you feel the need to fully wash it. Hope This is helpful.

I suppose you could. I wash mine with Dawn and hot water after the paint had dried on them and if that came off, it would be easy to get food stuff off. This stuff is very much like thin flexible cutting boards you can buy and wash in the dishwasher. It's thick enough to hold it's shape very well. I don't know if that answers your question or not.
