What is a good way to really wash this item? I just acquired a used one & need to clean it to get the hair & cat smell from it.

I hand wash my love glove in my bathroom sink (just use a not to harsh soap) I sometimes use a nail brush if really needs a good cleaning, to get in the crevices. Next, I gently ring it out and let it dry on a towel on my counter. Then it's ready to go!! Hope this helps ; )

Hair should come off easy, if its got a smell hand wash it with warm water and let it air dry.

I haven't washer mine yet. When I do wash it, I'll put it in a bucket with cold water and some mild soap, and swish it around. Air dry. It'll be fine.

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.

Haven't washed mine yet. My cat is very skittish about being brushed. Having her scent on it seems to make it easier to brush her. I would think that swishing it around in warm soapy water & leaving to air dry would be best.

I washed mine in the washer with warm water and let it air dry. It was totally fine!

I have cleaned (the purple cat one) twice. You can put it in the dishwasher but I did it with dawn and a brush. Not too hard at all. Just making sure that you rinse a lot.

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...

Yep -- stuck it in the washer then air dried just a few days ago. Or I sometimes take a kitchen brush to it if it's not too dirty. Works great!

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

Does anybody have the instructions on how to clean this unit? I lost the box with the instructions in it... Thanks in advance

I spray it off with hot water. Since I have cats and hair accumulates, I sometimes i have to brush the hair off. It is very easy to maintain and saves money from buying all of the disposal able ones

My cat hasn't had that issue but since it is plastic I would assume you would take it outside or into the shower/tub and hose it down with soap and water then let it dry off.

I have never had to clean mine. But it looks like a damp cloth alone may work or a damp cloth with a mild soap might do the trick. It's made of a material that is suede-like, maybe a chamois.I hope that helps you.

I wouldn't recommend washing it ... It's not a thick comforter... I love it but use it mostly for looks ... And it won't fall apart unless you have a cat that keeps clawing on it lol it is a beautiful comforter I would buy it again ... =)

When it was new I rinsed it with 50/50 water and vinegar to clean it the first time. I usually just put a little dish soap in it now "just a drop or two" fill it half full of water, shake it really good and rinse a few times.

I scrub it by hand and then rinse it. No problem is doing that. Not sure it would work by machine washing it.

It is new. I have not cleaned it yet. I guess I should be able to wash it with water because it is made of gel on the inside.

I haven't had it for very long and my boys are only in the car 2 or 3 times a month so I really haven't found the need to wash it yet but ... not sure I would chance machine washing for $$$.It should be easy enuff to keep clean by just brushing or vacuuming any dry dirt and/or spot cleaning all else with damp spong and mild detergent.

We clean ours once a week with plain old dish soap. Never had a problem and we have two cats and two dogs using it.

Fully wash it. It is such an awesome mat, it catches everything in the mat including pieces of food as well as particles of litter.
