Can the fabric be removed and thrown into the washer? How easy/hard to remove/replace the fabric?

It could not easily be removed and placed in the washing machine. It is made of a material that wipes down easily. I just use a moistened cloth to clean it.

Yes, it can be. The unit is as easy to take apart as it is to assemble. I'm not sure if the fabric shrinks enough to make it difficult to put back together after washing, because I haven't done this.

It doesn't look to me like it could be thrown in the washer, even if you disassembled it. I see screws holding the vertical and horizontal pieces together, so it appears that you could remove the central portion, where the fabric is. However, there is a stiff (metal?) bar sewn inside the front edge of each shoe pocket. All those clanking together inside your washer would probably damage it. The dark color hides things well. Personally I'd only feel safe spot-cleaning it in place.

It should be relatively easy to slip off the fabric to wash. The assembly took all of five minutes so it won't take more than that to unscrew just one side of the frame to slip it back off. I just can't say if it's washing machine safe.

It's very tight on the structure. If it shrinks after the wash, it won't be easy to put it back on.

The seat cover can be removed and washed. We've had to do it a couple of times and its actually easy to do, but we have noticed that the fabric has begun to tear and we will likely have to replace the seat cover in the coming months. And, yes you can swing it by hand.

Not easily. It can be disassembled, but requires removing nuts and washers.

No - you cannot remove the cover and I couldn't imagine putting the whole think in a washer or dryer!

Yes, the fabric can be removed and machine washed. The rest of it can be wiped out. I can tell you that it worked well for the feral cat that had been visiting my deck. I have now adopted that cat who is slowly be integrated with my two indoor cats.

Just take the fabric part off and wash it if necessary? Or just put a towel or something in there.

You just throw them in with the detergent, and conditioner if you're using some. They're not intended to replace either as far as I know. You put however many you want directly into the drum. We double-dosed by accident once (long story) and other than the washing being incredibly scented it didn't harm the fabrics at all. They do have a habit of getting stuck in the front of the machine if you don't put them back far enough but other than that no problems to report at all.

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.

Very easy. The stools come unassembled so before you assemble them you would be able to remove the fabric and use a staple gun to recover with another fabric.

Hi. sounds like it. The washer will not function if the lock is not working. Really not a hard job at all, took me about an hour, which is mostly taking the back cover and top off! Sounds like this will do the trick, and an easy job. Hope this helps.

No I wouldn't put it in the washer machine. It is more like plastic type material.

Yes you can wash it in the washer. I have done so three times already, and put in the dryer to dry. It comes out fine. The instruction says you can and YOU CAN!

I have taken the cover off and washed in the washmachine. It takes some doing. You have to undo all the straps and watch just how they go before taking them off. Once all the straps are off the cover will be easy to get off.

Yes you can detach it, the material is wash cloth friendly, but throwing it in the washer should be fine.

I would not put her in the washer. I would use baking soda, vinegar and a brush to clean her up. That's how I clean my upholstery. It works great. J

The frame didn't last long enough for the fabric to get dirty. You'd probably need a really big washer.

It is not difficult at all. It works like every other mop. It can be unscrewed and I saw refills at Target for example. It can be washed in the washer. The only thing I don't like about it..it gets tangled really easily :( and that can be annoying. I would not buy the same thing again. I hope this helps :)
