Can fluid be wiped off the cover or does it soak into the cover? Would like to wipe fluid off rather than change the cover every time there's an issue

It says waterproof in the description. The kind of plastic leads me to believe it's waterproof. I just went upstairs and poured a puddle on some slack material and let it sit a minute. Nothing happened, just sponged it off and it never went through. As with any cover bought anywhere, at some point in time they will become brittle and split. If you check it once a year you should be okay. This one is a little thicker than past ones I've bought. Mine is still in great shape.

Im not sure I am the best one to answer: I have not used this every day. But I have sometimes rinsed it in hot water or washed off the pad with soap and water. I have not replaced it at all. It is doiing fine for me. If worried, I might clean it with a stronger detergent or maybe rinse with alcohol or something. I guess if it got too grungy I would replace it, but that has not happened so far. As I say, I may not be the best person to answer this question. In any case I am happy with it.

The cover is permanently installed. The material is wetsuit material, so it is o.k. to get it wet while washing it.

never thought about a cover, if you put water in the tray under the coils it doesnt seem to splatter. Not that i've noticed.

I have not had an issue with it while not using the lubrication. Personally, I don't think it needs it. I had an older one that worked fine without that as well. Hope this helps! :)

My cover is not waterproof. Interestingly, it has pools of water inside after a rain. If it allows water in, why does it retain that water rather than it leaking out? I am careful to keep the zipper underneath the kayak so that no rain could enter there. Since it is not waterproof, I question whether it is UV proof as advertised.

They have changed it now. I find no problem at all in cleaning the gasket. There are now little open slots at the top that allow me to rinse under the gasket. They also have a little tool to use should something get stuck under there. But I have only had to use the tool once. I have had the product about 4 months and use it regularly. I only usually just need to rinse through the slots and it gets everything out.

I used a damp wipe -- like a baby wipe or Windex cloth or a screen cleaner thing. I was doing a general cleaning of the keyboard. You do need to pay more attention to keeping this keyboard clean than others, as the keys are low-rise, and if the keyboard gets dusty, there is more problem with getting the shift key to work well. Also, if one of the function keys gets stuck (easy to have happen when the keyboard gets dirty), you get weird things happening, like only being able to type a capital C with the caps lock on.

I bought the purple one. But my sister has the white one and she said her cover has stayed clean. (Again now this depends on how you use it). If you are going to be in dirt and dust - I would imagine it getting dirty - but it cleans easily.

The cover is washable---so it can get wet--and has a non-skid bottom. I can see nothing on the gel that would prevent it from getting wet. It is made of a series of open cells that would fill up with water, but that should not be much of a problem. Worth a try!

The cover is not waterproof. You can wash the cover but not the pillow. I just wash the cover and spray the pillow with Lysol.

If you are talking about removing the cover for any kind of repairs, I haven't done that. Mine stopped working about 2 months into using it, but it still has good water flow. If you are talking about removing your shower head to replace it with this, its just threaded on. A little plumbers tape and a wrench and you will be good to go.

We've had ours on our 2013 Fit for almost a year and have never removed it for any reason. We've never had an issue with mildew or dampness at all. We even have our Fit washed at the local car wash with no problems. You may have to wipe around it sometimes and we also put Armor-All on it to keep it looking new.

Our cat once peed on it, so we took the cover off, washed it and dried it in a machine and put it back on the mattress. No problems whatsoever.If it wasn't meant for washing it wouldn't be made removable, wouldn't it?

No problems here! Wash on gentle in cool water and tumble dry on low. I even use the fabric softener/scent boost and haven't had any issues. Just unplug the the connector from the cover and you're good to go.

Just wipe it off with a moist cloth and its clean. Mine is always in a case so i don't have much issues keeping it clean

I usually unclip and take it outside the car and shake and sand or dirt off. Vacuum under occasionally. I leave it installed the majority of time. If there is a stain (dog barf the other day) I use a damp rag then vac with a shop vac for any residual dry. This cover is pretty bulletproof and I love it. I have a large lab and he swims a ton in summers so it's appreciated. Let me know if you have any other questions.
