How does one wash this cover? I bought one at Target - says it needs to be washed in a commercial front loader (not convenient) . Can you wash at home

I wash this one in my top loader with super hot water and in my dryer on low. It's been over three years and it's still going strong. The one I bought at Target was destroyed in less than a year.

I always wash mine at home but you've got to be careful with drying it. With my old one the vinyl backing melted in places and got holes.

I have never washed mine. I keep it covered with a mattress pad/cover, that I do wash periodically, but have no need to clean this particular cover as it doesn't ever get dirty.

well I haven't washed it yet; but plan to put in top loading washer. I put a pillow case on it so it wouldn't get dirty.

Just do not put it in washer dryer. Hand wash in woolite, lay flat to air dry. Problem solved.

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

The cover is made of a plastic-like material, so you can wash it with a wash cloth and soap, or I have used Clorox wipes on it and let it dry. I have a cloth changing pad cover on mine and change them out when they get dirty. It makes it really easy. Good luck!

I'm afraid I don't know because I returned it before ever using it or washing it. It's so light weight, I would think you could wash it at home -- but I think I'd wash it in a big washer at the laundromat just to be safe.

I wouldn't wash it often. I have washed mine once in cold water and very low heat in dryer. Came out perfect, I do have front load washer. I see myself washing it once a month.

I washed it without a problem. i had previously just washed the cover but needed to wash the entire thing.

I washed it without any problem. You just need a really big washer. Had to go to a public laundromat with big industrial washers.

Tag tells to wash in cold water, no bleach. If machine is not large enough for comforter to move freely, use commercial washer. I have not washed mine. It is in a spare room, and has only been used twice, so I can't speak from experience.

I have machine washed mine several times using a gentle cycle and doing it separately. It seems to hold up fine, but I do not think that the manufacturer recommends machine washing. I have a front loader that is pretty gentle in gentle cycle and doesn't drown the clothing in excessive water. Of other note, it cleans up beautifully and I use it for auto-mechanics and other shop work all the time and it is a mess before cleaning ! So far no problems with the electrics after machine washing. Hope that helps.

Yes, definitely washable! I have an LG front loading washer. I also throw it in the dryer. It's held up well through multiple cycles! I don't notice it sleeping hot either. I think it's a great product (we have one on both of our kids' beds and they've protected the mattresses well through potty training accidents and sickness).

I have not washed mine yet. I was thinking that when the time came I probably would take it to the dry cleaners. I haven't read the Manufacturers Care Instructions. Sorry.

I have washed the cover 3 times. Just don't use fabric softener as it will bind to the fire retardant material. Use a gentle cycle and air dry.

In the washer. We've had this blanket for a year now and love it! It washes and dries easily like a regular blanket. Did I say I love it? ;)

Sorry Norm - Never thought of washing it - when I have used it (winter) - I keep it in the back along w/ brush and 'sticky roller' - just a light fluffing, etc. and it is good as the day I bought it almost a year now - I myself would NOT recommend it, by try googling the company and ask - they might know - Sorry again for not having a most definitive ans. - james
