Did you get instructions with yours? I didn't. Product description above says to handwash. Can it be immersed in water?

I do not recall if it came with instructions but it can be immersed in water. I hand wash mine in a sink full of water all the time. I just don't let it soak. I love this rolling pin!

I haven't tried handwashing but I'm sure if it can take the washing machine it should clean up nicely by handwashing and hang dry as well.

I bought mine from Pampered Chef in December 2014, and the printed instructions say "Hand wash only; rinse and towel dry immediately."

I wouldn't wash it. If anything you should hand wash it. And nope, mine didn't smell!

We always wash ours by hand. It is too big for our dishwasher. I don't remember if the literature said anything about it being dishwasher safe. Sorry we can't help more!

I've contacted Phoenix Brands (the manufacturer) about this issue. They told me yes, you can handwash in hot water but you would need to agitate the clothes for at least 15 minutes. Soaking by itself is not sufficient to work in the product.

I haven't tried but i think it is removable. it did say to wash by hand so if you remove make sure you do that.

I haven't washed mine yet but I don't see why you wouldn't be a able to hand wash it, the material doesn't soak and it dries easily.

I threw away packaging. I would wash by HAND...the rubber in middle has painted on measurement. (Washing by hand is so...easy. Why wouldn't you?)

I have not washed mine yet. I was thinking that when the time came I probably would take it to the dry cleaners. I haven't read the Manufacturers Care Instructions. Sorry.

Don't put it in the dishwasher, the instructions clearly state not to. Wash by hand only.

Instruction manual enclosed with the bottle said it is not dishwasher safe. Handwash only.

No. You wash the bottom and rinse the top but the top can NOT be submerged in water.

It says in the Care instructions on the package to "Hand wash in Cold water with a mild detergent". "Do NOT use bleach or fabric softner". "Rinse thoroughly and Air dry". That's it. Pretty straight forward. Good Luck.

Water resistant - I found no problem washing my hands, but don't shower with it or submerge it in water.

I haven't tried to shower with it, and most likely won't. When I wash my hands I do try to keep the water off of it. My friend who is a chef takes his off to wash his hands. Water resistant is not a confidence inspiring phrase.
