I imagine it matters which color you buy... i habe the tan sheets and wash them as instructed. My recommendation is wash as instructed and dry on high. This will work the same way without potentially damaging you're sheets and their color

The tag instructs to wash in warm, air dry. I've washed in warm and used the dryer. I think you can wash these hot and they'll hold up well. The cotton is thick and strong. I hope that helps!

Yes, I have washed these sheets in hot water for years. I also dry them in a hot dryer. They come out clean and unwrinkled.

I have washed them in water. They seem to work afterwards. I would reccomend allowing them to dry completely before you use them after a wash. What works better and faster then washing them is to take them outside and spray them with a can of compressed air you use on electronics to remove the dust. This works better and they can be used right after. Note that should you choose to was them you run the risk of mold or mildew within the filter if they do not dry properly.

Hi! That's what I thought too, but apparently the tight weave of the fabric makes it impossible for the dust mites to get through. It must work because we've used other covers where myself and my daughter would wake up sneezing and stuffy, but with this cover we are waking up feeling much better. I do wash them every time I wash my sheets which probably helps. (As an aside, do you know that most pillows can be washed regularly in hot water to kill dust mites? I recently found this out and my pillows are now squeaky clean and still fluffy!) I liked this product because of the good warranty, as previous covers fell apart after washing several times but now I feel like I can fall back on the warranty if necessary. Anyhow, here is some info that I found online that explains the company's answer to your question. Hope this is helpful! Cheers! :) Allersoft is the most popular allergy-proof fabric we carry because it is 100% pure cotton and lab-tested to block allergens and dust mites. It's an amazing fabric that is made in the USA with a patented, special super-tight weave. Don't confuse thread count with allergy protection. 100% pure cotton for the ultimate in comfort without sacrificing efficacy. No added chemicals or harsh treatments. With a mean flow pore size diameter of 4.91 microns, this fabric is one of the most effective barriers against pet dander, dust mites, bed bugs and other harmful allergens.

I don't know if you can wash then in hot water. I wash everything in cold water. You will have to ask the company directly.

These should not be washed in a machine. Spot clean only. I have a handheld steam cleaner that I wash mine with and it works great.

Pull them inside out and let them dry. No they can not be washed in a machine.

I just purchased my new Shark Pet Dustbuster, and went ahead and purchased several boxes of the dust cups; it does not say whether you can wash them or not; I use a toothbrush to clean the filters with every use. Its a 3 pack, so guess you could try rinsing one to see.

I soak them in hot water with oxiclean sometimes 24 hours if they are really grimy and then in the washing machine on hot with a little soap and white vinegar added. They usually come out clean.

sure - but if you're washing, hot water and bleach will do better than permethrin at killing bugs and mites; so this would be double duty.

Yes. You have to wash them first. Honestly I don't even use this. I just wash with soap and hot water.

I would not suggest it. These are disposable, but like Ransan mentioned, it is okay to lightly rinse them out and use them several times.

You can wash the filters. I wash them in warm water and let them dry for a couple days. Buy the hepa Filter.

Sorry no. However I have had customer in my store claim they do simply rinse them off. However, I would recommend tossing them every six months (or sooner for high use) per the instructions. Thank you

Yes, I have washed them in my Whilpool Dishwasher several times with excellent results. My Household Manager, who has many years employment as a traditional Butler, suggests hand washing.

I do not think you can wash them, but they can but you can shake them in a wast basket and remove the loose particles. It would be best to just replace after dusting. They are excellent in grappling dust you did not even was there. Highly recommend.

Just wash them in warm water. You can use a little soft-soap if you like, but don't use any harsh solvents or cleaners.

this is a triple strength bleach derivative meant to be mixed with citric acid crystals to activate, and is very much a commercial chemical once properly mixed. I would advise against putting this in your washing machine but yes i believe it would kill dust mites. I use it to disinfect my chicken coups and kill red bugs( spider mites) for which it works well
