Does anyone know how to remove the cover for washing? How can I take the hard plastic out through the small seam at the heel?

The heal seam appears to be afixed with very strong velcro, so presumably you would try to pull the velcro apart. Another idea would be to handwash the splint without removing the interior structure. I wear a sock with mine, and also cover the outside (while wearing the splint) with a very stretchy sock top (I cut the foot of the sock off). That way, the splint itself does not get dirty. If and when I feel it needs to be washed, I will probably hand wash it intact.

Mine is sown so tightly that if you took it apart it would never go back together the right way again. I would spot clean this brace like you would upholstery.

I washed in warm water (not hot) and tumbled dry. It's coming apart at the seam so I think it's a sewing issue.

Remove a plastic clip on each side in the back and it works like a charm. Squeeze them to remove them. Happy With cover

My wife says she just tosses the entire slipper (top and bottom) in to the washer. You could separate them, but why bother. She also drys them in the dryer with her other colored clother. No issues...

Hi Barbara. The cover can be removed for cleaning. I would recommend hand cleaning with soap and warm water. The cover has a nice pad beneath. Thick enough that the plastic iron board isn't affected.

The cover is fabric and it should be fine in the washer. But to remove it you will need to almost completely deflate the ball; the velcro opening to remove the ball is maybe 10-12" long.

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.

Not sure what you mean by "cover is peeled off work", but as far as washing, I just use clear colored mild soap on a cloth and gently rub until soil is removed. Then I use plain cold water on cloth to rinse.

There is a self adhesive spot on the bottom of the heel, but if you don't use it they can be removed.

The cushion can be removed but it cannot be machine washed since there is no cover to take off

My cover has stayed up for a year so far. There is a plastic tubing that keeps it up but it should be removed before washing.

Just brings it up over the heel t6o a point where I could pull it up the rest of the way. After 1 month the foam grip came off and even over the heel was hard. No, this aid will not assist removing the sock from the foot.

Sorry, should have more directly answered your first question. The bolster part cannot be removed, just the mattress. Washing it like that did not harm mine at all.

Try spraying a little WD-40 (lubricant and source of a gazillion fixes) on the seam and let it rest for 10 minutes, or so. You should be able to separate the two parts. Then, as a matter of maintenance, rub a very light film of Vaseline on the base piece. You shouldn't have the problem any longer.

In the description, it says it snaps off to throw in the washer. I tried to unsnap it to get it off, but couldnt get it unsnapped. Doesnt really need to go in the washer, though. But if you do wash it, wash alone in warm water, not much detergent, small load, no bleach or softener, and I would just let it air-dry and not put it in the dryer.

Remove the cover and wash twice. Let air out w/o the cover on for a full 48 hours amd you should be good!

I washed my daughters UGG slippers after she'd given up on them. I don't remember putting them in the washer I might have just soaked them in a bucket. They came out looking almost new. (So I took 'em.) I did need to brush up the parts that'd been walked down. I've also used this to revitalize some very worn out sheepskin insoles.
