Has anyone washed a packit in the washing machine?

I honestly don't know if you can wash it. The inside is that vinyl material so when my son brings it home from lunch and it's sticky or wet or full of crumbs, I just rinse it out under the tap and wipe it dry with some paper towel. I love these things!

Yes, I have. I pop it in with a load of towels and let it air dry. This takes care of any outside staining - they clean up beautifully!!

It is not necessary to wash in a machine. I just washed it by hand in my sink with dishsoap and a scrubbie sponge.

I washed it by hand because it has a very strong smell. But the smell did not go away.

If you spill something in it, then hand wash it with mild detergent, then use a sani-wipe and dry it. Then let it air dry before refreezing it. We get new ones at the beginning of each school season, or if one of the grandkids get really carried away and destroy it. I don't think they would last very long in a washing machine of any type.

No, not yet. When I do, it will be in the washing machine with cold water. Then, I will air dry it. That is my plan. It works for most unusual things.

Yes, it will go through the washer just fine(gentle cycle). BUT i found if I just pop my kids lunch into a gallon freezer bag then put the whole thing into the lunch box, there is hardly a need to wash it.

I have not had to clean it yet, normally i just shake it off well before stuff sacking it. However, I don't think i personally would trust putting this in the washing machine, and definitely not the dryer. I'd worry about something twisting up or catching on something. I would probably recommend hand washing and then hanging it to dry if you feel the need to fully wash it. Hope This is helpful.

No. I place mine in a laundry bag and throw it into the washing machine with my satin bedsheet. I use woolite and cold water setting for both.

I have not tried washing the inner part. I noted that it had a zipper so that the inner liner could be washed and the stuffing, presumably, aired out or replaced rather than washed; I expect I'll be trying it one of these days myself, so I'd like to know the results of your trial!

I have yet to wash it, though I have shaken it out a few times. I store it in the bag it came in.

I haven't tried machine washing, but I don't see why it couldn't be washed in the machine. I would use gentle cycle and line dry.

I've washed mine quite a few times stuck in with normal loads of laundry. They have came out clean and so far no signs of wear and tear.

No, but I have washed it in the washer and used my dryer on the no heat setting and dried it with just cool air.

I haven't washed mine. I don't think I would chance putting it in the washing machine. You could probably hand wash it with no problem.

I haven't washed mine either, but plan to use perm press cycle ... warm water & perm press on dryer.

Yea, I threw the whole thing in the washing machine, I cant remember if I put it in the dryer though or if I let it air dry. It turned out great!

Although I have not done so myself, they do appear to be of sturdy enough construction to do so. I have simply wiped mine clean with a damp cloth but if they ever require a deeper cleaning, I would not hesitate to put them in the washing machine.

I'm not sure about washing it in a washing machine. We spray ours down with a vinegar and water solution.

I did not, just wiped it off with a cloth. You could not put it in the machine, if that's what you mean.

Hi! Yes I have machine washed the whole set after my baby vomited all over it. I used woolite n presoaked followed by gentle cycle, and dryer with low heat. It is new as ever! We love it!

Not at all! I have washed mine at least five times and its as good as when I took it out of the bag. I know what you mean when you ask the question, especially after you wash it. Well worth the money. Take the chance, you will not be disappointed.

I washed mine in the washing machine with cold water but I didn't put it in the dryer. It seemed to work fine, I didn't notice any changes in it.
