Has anyone tried machine washing the cover?

We washed ours for the first time this weekend and it washed beautifully. I used hot water, regular cycle, and air dried. Be sure to take out the seat cushion.

I wash mine weekly! Looks brand new. So much stuff also comes off just with a good wiping with a cloth.

Yes, it will machine wash just fine, even though it says hand wash. I put it in a bag on gentle cycle, cold water and let it air dry and it did just fine.

We have washed ours three times now, and it still looks brand new! We just make sure to wash it in cold water and dry on no heat or tumble dry low so it won't shrink.

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.

I have unbuttoned it and cleaned it with a wet rag and soap then line dried it seemed to be ok. Would not recommend putting it in wash machine the bottom is made of plywood but I do love it

According to Marrikas the tag says "dry clean." However, they also said that both the cover and the fill can withstand water. My interpretation from their response is that you're on your own, but machine washing will probably be OK. I have personally machine-washed down comforters in the past. Assuming there is nothing unique about this one, it should be OK. (Cold water, gentle cycle, low heat dryer.)

I checked the can but it says nothing about washing. I'm almost certain that machine washing would reduce the effectiveness of the waterproofing or remove it totally.

Sorta, but not really. It is a VERY snug fitting cover so it is tough to pull off and put back on. I haven't actually done it with the sofa but with one of the little chairs. The cover was either glued or had fused to the foam in the crevices so I had to rip it free and ripped some small chunks out of the foam when I did it. I was able to get the cover back on but not snug in the corners/crevices like it started. I didn't machine wash either, only hand washed. My concern with the sofa is it would not snug back onto the foam where the sofa unfolds. All that being said, we've had good success with steam cleaning the covers while still on the furniture and spot cleaning with a scrub brush. We've had our little chair for six years and the sofa for three years and they are both holding up great. We LOVE them.

We did after our cat peed on the bed. No problems at all with removing the cover. It washed and dried beautifully in the machine. Re zipped and back to bed. We took care of the mattress itself although not much pee seeped in. Thank God.

No I have not. It actually was perfect. Try wrapping it with paper towel or a thin piece of packing foam sheet.

Not really; I washed mine and the filling in the comforter has been kinda funky and some what mis-shaped since! Wish I hadn't done that one!

I washed it in the washer and put it in the dryer on permanent press setting. No problems at all. It cleans up great!

The cover is made of mesh. I have not washed it, however, I believe it can be washed by hand or in a washer on the gentle cycle.

I wouldn't put the covers in my washing machine as they are to bulky. I spray the covers with fantastic and just hose them off. That works for me.

I have not had to so far, but I would probably use either a baby wipe or wash cloth. It's a durable fabric and would clean easily.

We did not put ours in the washing machine per say, but instead used clear anti bacteria soap on an old wash cloth and spot cleaned the soiled areas and then rinsed a few times with clean water on the cloth and air dried. I think that it looks good. If I was going to wash the entire bed pocket then I would probably hand wash without squeezing too hard so not to wrinkle the material and hang on a line to dry.

I would not put it in a washing machine. I have spot cleaned it with a damp cloth. I just love it and use it all the time!!

I machine wash mine. It's not as soft but I just can't own something like that if it can't be machine washed.

As I remember the care instructions you can hose off the cover but do not wash it with soap or any other chemical as it will degrade the protective coating on the cover.
