What material is this made of and is it washable? Some reviewers have mentioned a nasty smell, so I'd like to be able to wash it before use.

The smell is only that new vinyl smell. It goes away quickly. My grandkids are still playing with this...2 years later.We haven't washed it.

You could...but it had better be on the gentlest cycle you have. Or even better, hand wash it. I haven't noticed a smell and since its in contact with nothing other than the mattress, haven't had a need to wash it.

normal nylon tent material. We didn't notice any smell but I would expect a few hours in the fresh air should take care of that.

The cover that comes with it is washable but, I have not been able to find covers from Amazon. I haven't looked anywhere else but, I'm sure covers are out there somewhere.

It is washable, you just wash it on delicate. The pillow is removable and is held in place with a Velcro strap

It's made of a durable plastic and it is reusable, I've used mine twice now. You just need to wash it thoroughly in between uses.

I did not notice any nasty smells. We did wash it before using it the first time, just in case.

It says it's washable, but I doubt it. The one I had before said "do not wash". So I didn't. I only washed the duvet cover. It lasted quite awhile -- 3 or 4 years. This one seems slightly different, but I don't think I will wash it.

Hi. The fabric is washable. I would suggest ordering an additional one from Amazon. I bought my kitty two and highly recommend this one- during the installation use the screws instead of Velcro to attach to your window.

It is washable; however, you would probably want to remove the straps before washing.

I looked at the tag it was attached to the product and it doesn't say anything about washing. And the outer fabric is not removable (there is no extra fabric that you can remove), so I think this is not washable.

I wouldn't wash it. There was a slight odor but if you set it up and let it air out for a couple of days, it does disapate.

Yes, it is washable. I just hand wash it with mild soap and water. Be sure to rinse it well by squeezing as you rinse. I put it in the clothes dryer on the low setting. It takes a little longer to dry but that is better than allowing dryer heat to warp it).

Yes it is washable. Dry cleaning not necessary. Wash in warm water, color safe detergent and hang to dry.

It is machine washable. I haven't actually washed it yet but I would probably do cold water gentle cycle and let it air dry rather than put it in dryer.

I have no clue as I haven't tried to wash it yet. I was thinking about that yesterday. I would think only the covering is washable.

Smell ? I washed mine and use it all the time so I don't think so, use filtered water otherwise tap water tends to smell, but the material after washing is fine, I don't recall a smell before washing it though.

no, it's not washable. it clogs with dust eventually if used in a very dusty enviroment, once washed it is useless and not breathable.

I haven't washed it. It is in the guest room and gets little use. It appears to be sturdy construction and washable fabric. Would likely need ironing to preserve shape.
