I have this book but have not tried washing it yet. Has anyone tried, either by hand or machine? If you did, how did the book handle being washed?

It does say hand wash, but I've thrown them in the washer and dryer on occasion. I don't wash them too much, but an occasional toss in the wash has not been a problem to the book structure. I do have a basic lamaze book that has no words, only different inner textures like the crinkles a rattle and a squeeker. The squeeker has stopped squeeking. I don't know if that's due to washing or overuse. :) Still very usable book.

Have not yet washed as it can be kept fairly dust and cobweb free with vacuum. However, when I do wash, I'll do it by hand, not because I feel it can't be machine washed, but because I believe the red fibers would adhere to anything else in the wash. Will use dryer on low.

Hello - I have not washed mine yet, as it doesn't get a lot of use. When the time comes, I will definitely use the delicate cycle for washing, and will probably not place any of it in the dryer.

My husband uses his after his shower while sitting in the reclinerwatching TV or reading. As of this time I have not had to cleanit as it has not shown any marks of use or dirt. When the time comes I will use a wet cloth & mild soap to wash. I do not thinkit would be wise to machine wash !!

I washed mine and it was never the same. Couldn't use it after that. Recommend hanging it or laying it out in the sun, brushing with a brush. If that doesn't work, pitch it and get a new one! Then, check your bananas every day or so and towel-wipe any moisture away.

We have had it dry cleaned once. Was afraid to machine wash because of spin cycle. So I am sticking with dry cleaning

I haven't tried washing it. It doesn't feel like it would "live" through the process. I would recommend dry cleaning.

I wash mine in the washing machine along with a load of towels. It comes out looking new.

I've had mine a few years and it's still almost like new. In fact, I used it this morning. Even though it's machine washable, I wash mine by hand in the sink with warm water and a mild soap, like hand soap. I think that helps and also I've only used lotion with it, nothing medicinal or harsh.

Honestly I haven't washed ours. I just take the hair out of it. When I do wash it, I'll just do dish washing liquid and wash it by hand in the sink or bucket.

I always wash my things too. You can dry it with a paper towel, it should be fine. It wouldn't take long to dry it at all.

So far so good. I have had mine for several months and have washed it both by hand and in the dishwasher. I'm trying to wash it mostly by hand for fear of the design coming off, but my kids do the dishes so I often find it after it had been through the washer.

I think I answered this on my kindle but maybe it didn't go. I do think it is washable. It is the most darling baby gift I have ever given. It was hard for me to even part with it. It is positively darling and soft beyond belief - perfect for a baby. I trust Gund to be honest about the capability of being washable.

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.

Mine didn't arrive washed out. It came out fine. I suppose you could probably soak in soap and water and let air dry.

That is the big issue. Have not washed it yet. But sooo big will have to use a dry cleaners as there machines are bigger. Open question to really find out. Think this is my only down fall but other than that love it.
