You can put them in the washing machine but let them air dry I would not put them in the dryer.

To clean them I use a very small amount of the foaming bacterial soap and clean them by hand.I then thoroughly wash them, removing any soap, dry by paper towel, then let air dry.

They can be cleaned but should NOT be washed. Here are the cleaning instructions that come with the covers - "Clean your cover with a soft brush and lukewarm water. DO NOT USE SOAP as it may remove the protective coatings added by the factory. Air dry." We've not had any problem keeping our covers clean. They have stayed out in the elements all winter and through spring time pollen season - no problems.

I've had no smell to the covers , and wash them in the machine with oither rags used for coeaning . Works well with the Bruce Floor Cleaner .

You probably can, although i haven't done that yet. There is a zipper on the side to remove. My cleaning lady tells me that the cushion covers are best cleaned outdoors. She said you can put a bleach solution and then hose them off and they come out looking very clean. Once again, i have not tried this but trust her to know that it will work :-) We love the set, hope you will too.

Use a vacuum. The air leaks out making them pretty worthless, though they do keep dust off.

You can easily take off the cover and wash it. I have done it twice already.

I just use a soft brush and warm water with a little bit of an organic cleaner (I use Amway's SA8). Sometimes just wiping them down with warm water and a soft cloth works.

I found a used one of these and bought it. I removed all the covers and washed them in my machine and it worked wonderfully. I let all of them air-dry after washing them on gentle in cold water with detergent.

Surface cleaning is a breeze with a little soap & water on a sponge. The cover can be removed to wash in the washing machine but not dryer - I let it air dry.

Personally I just breath some "breath steam" on them and use a lens cloth to wipe them off. My lenses are a bit floppy in the frames, but this has worked the best for me.

Just a damp cloth and some detergent. Keep in mind the covers come off and can go in the washing machine.

I am just getting ready to clean mine as well. In looking over the instructions it is suggested to use a pipe cleaner, or feather duster and/or a vacuum to get the loose dirt and dust out.

I suggest using a cloth or paper towel and putting some rubbing alcohol. Then have a dry cloth or towel to wipe any residue off. That is what I do.

I Don't have a solution for you. I wish they were removable, as you said. We clean it everyday with water in a sponge, inside and outside, and we keep it warm to be able to perform the cleaning

Super easy to clean. I use a wet rag or any sort of surface cleaner. They are like plastic so you can use anything.

I have not removed the cover. I always put a towel or small blanket on things like this to make it easier to keep it clean, instead of removing and cleaning.
