Can this be washed - or just by hand? My cat threw up unfortunately :-(

My cat threw up in his once too. It can be washed by hand and hung up to dry.

By hand yes but I think it might tear in the washing machine if its a little worn. Maybe if it was brand new but after awhile the plastic areas will begin to break through the fabric. I definitely wouldn't put it in the dryer.

My cat threw up in hers, also. I wash it by hand, dry it in the sun (dries very quickly). In fact, have washed it several times, you just have to be careful not to bend the "stays" in it too much.

Our cats are 'inside' cats and hopefully the bed will not require a thorough washing when the time comes. It's not that old yet. The cats use it a lot and apparently love it. We really got it for a stray that was staying in our unheated garage and it was sort of an 'at the moment' purchase. It did the job and that stray is now in our house with the rest of them. Hopefully we will never have a stray horse come by here. I will say though, my wife mentioned washing the bed just the other day. It was not decided what to do when the time comes. I think spot cleaning will have to suffice.

sorry for the late reply, it doesn't seem machine washable at all. the fabric/ stuffing or whatever on the inside doesn't seem suitable to get washed in........ you would probably have to hand wash it instead of machine washing.... I don't even think really gentle machine washing will work either :/ the thing in between the felt feels like the soft foam/ styrofoam thing, and the actual fabric inside is made out of a really thin material that gets easily ripped

Hi Christoper. I cannot anwer your question as I returned the item. But, I would say, yes it can be washed by hand and should air dry in a day.

I don't know. We have always washed it by hand to be on the safe side. Sorry this probably does not help you much.

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

I have not wrestled mine away from my cats to wash it yet. Instructions say to line dry. The bed seems well made - sturdy construction, heavy materials. Sorry I can't help further. I will wash one of them this week and when I do I will post an update.

I throw it in the dishwasher, I would not want to wash it by hand. I've never done it, but I think it would be a pain!

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.

Not sure however, I would hand wash anyway. I mean its not like it needs a scrub. Just a bit of a swish with your sponge.

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 ... =)

Yes, you can wash it by hand or in the washing machine -- I've done neither as we use this occasionally, mostly just for travel, etc. It is a fabric (cordura?? nylon) exterior with a waterproof (nylon??) interior.

I know it can be hand washed. I wouldn't put it in a machine. I think this one is more user-friendly regarding cleaning.

I've never washed it in the machine. I don't think it would take it well. It really should be hand washed only. That's what I've always done.

the manufacturer says it is washable, I would hand wash it warm soapy water and hang to dry!!! A damp "blue wonder" rag would clean it also

So far I have only washed it by hand, but it's supposed to be top shelf dishwasher safe. Hope this helped. Cheers!

I don't know. I haven't tried washing it. I think I would just wash it by hand in warm, soapy water. A dishwasher may be tough on this material.
