I haven't washed it. If it needed cleaning I'd have it dry cleaned to prevent that sort of thing.

I had not used mine much when it got holes in it. Since I had it only short time contacted company and they sent me a replacement bag. They do sell replacement bags. The bags in my opinion are not of good quality, and when I used the new bag first time this week I think I may have figured out 1 reason it was short lived. Even though I was vacuuming leaves, some pine straw drifts in from nearby trees. When I went to clean the bag, pieces of pine needles were stuck into the material. The book says bag capacity is 14 gallons. It's not a really big bag. At one time I had a gas powered chipper shredder and its bag appeared to be of nylon and was heavy duty, lasted through years of use. Whatever material this bag is made of is not as durable.

I had the same problem. This is not normal for this bag. I crumpled the end and then they easily came apart. They must have had trouble with their machinerry. Bags are NOT produced by Amazon. If you ask for a refund, they cheerfully will do it.

When I took a dry bag and filled it with water, being careful not to allow water to be on the outside, I noticed some tiny bubbles of air accumulating on the interior of the bag. The outside of the bag remained dry, which is to be expected if the bag has no perforations or has microperforations since water molecules don't escape through microperforations. Either the bag has microperforations or a rough interior that allows air to accumulate in its pores. In either case, I really like the bags. The size is just right and it keeps the bread fresh. The only thing I wish the product had is twist ties for closure, but so far I am finding a few twist ties around the kitchen to use for now.

I believe the small tag (which I cut off) says to spot clean it. I washed it on delicate with cold water with no major issues. The colors after awhile will fade if you wash it frequently and maybe the rings will lose a bit of shape as the stuffing might settle. Again, I have washed mine with no trouble.

Could you switch out the bad for a enema bag? I like all the reviews I have read except the few about mold growing in the bag. I would like to use the old fashion enema/douche bags with it.

I am actually not using it anymore. After washing it a few times the Velcro gave out. I switched back to my cheap pop up baskets form Target. Also, the frame got bent up..probably from me overstuffing it and the bags would no longer hang straight on it.Sorry!

I didn't wash it and took it on an overnight camping trip and it was fine for me. I'm always weary of machine washing sleeping bags anyhow. But I'm sure there are cleaning instructions on the tag, I just haven't needed to wash mine yet.

Love to help you SweetieBee but like you-I only bought the tea pot-I didn't manufacture it. This is a feature of Amazon that annoys me no end. Instead of contacting other purchasers they should take this question to the source for what it's worth I've had this tea pot for about a year have left water inside frequently - and have no problems with it. The lining is probably some type of protectant

This is a really good question, Danielle. I had not needed to do any cleaning of my hamper so I went to look at it and investigate a little for you. There is a liner around the entire interior which is different from the outer material and feels like it will keep moisture from wicking through to the outside fabric. I held a cloth saturated with water against the inside material and got no soaking through to the outside at all. I also held the wet cloth against the outside material and got no soaking through to the inside either. In fact, neither the inside nor the outside showed any evidence of having been wetted. So, I think this hamper will be easy to spot clean (both inside and out) and to spritz with a cleaning solution and wipe clean. Anything more thorough than that I don't know. I can't say positively that the product is "water proof" but it definitely resists a thorough wetting. It does fold flat when you remove the top. Hope this helps.

I washed it once and it doesn't lose it's curl but the quality of hair changed. I mean now it tangles and shedding more after washing. Since it is synthetic hair extensions, the quality is not comparable with a real hair extensions.

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 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 t is a strong mess type material so there is no shape to it but the one you make. I set it on the ground every time I shower and never has it tipped on me. I have shampoo, conditioner, lotion, baby oil, body soap, hair oil facial cream all in the outer pockets. don't know if because i have so much it keeps it sturdy. never has tipped and i have no worry of the handle breaking. lost several hooks cause my bag is so heavy but no worries about the bag tearing.

I sometimes use a bag, but I have not found one that biodegrades within weeks, so I usually use my YukChuk without a bag. It fits nicely in my dishwasher, but sometimes I wash it out in the kitchen sink." I sure hope this helps you. I just love mine..Good Luck, Ella

Hi, Karen! This is the first time I've bought this product, I've been keeping the parading well wrapped and in a Zip lock bag. So far, I had no issues. As for the paraffin I melted for my hands, I have used it 3 times already. Use your common sense here...keep the lid on when not using it and in a cool place . You will know when to replace it, especially if you are the only using it. Hope this was helpful!

i had mine professionally washed before i ever even used it. it looked as good as it did right out of the bag. no loss of the black flocking, either.
