What are the care instructions for this material? Can I machine wash delicate and dry on low or is it dry clean only?

Well from my experience I used it to make my grandaughter Elsa's dress from Frozen she wears it to play constantly and I have washed it with gentle soap cold water by hand and line dried so far it's fine

You could wash it in the machine on gentle or just spot clean with a wash cloth or wet wipe. I have it in black and it never looks dirty. I've seen a few cream ones and they look good, too. The material has some sheen to it, so it cleans and dries well.

I wash mine on the most delicate setting in my washing machine, soaking it first for about a half-hour in warm water and Ivory Snow. I air dry it. When I first got it, I washed it in the bathtub. Several trips to the chiropractor later, I gave up this practice but would wash it by hand if I had a big laundry tub or some way of washing it that didn't require bending over to work on what becomes a very heavy item. I don't trust the heat of the dryer not to have an effect on the longevity of the tiny wires imbedded in the fabric. I would be interested in knowing how other people are washing theirs. Oh yes, and what the manufacturer says to do . . . and how they determined it was safe to wash it whatever way they say.

Tag says hand wash only but I've run it through on gentle and tumble dry low and it was fine.

I have washed mine with my delicates but didnt put it in the dryer. it dries pretty quickly, so maybe you can wash it and make it sit overnight.

Only exceptionally says the instructions. Spot clean with lukewarm water and a sponge. I didn't wash it yet, so I don't really know. I would advise you to use delicate or hand wash.

I have washed it on very gentle cycle with no problem and air dried it in the dryer.

I have always dry cleaned it. Not sure, but it might shrink if laundered. Hope this helps.

Haven't tried it yet but the instructions say to wash on gentle cycle and dry on low or air dry.

The instruction label says cold wash, line dry only, do not dry clean and do not iron, although I've not tried it yet. Hope this helps.

Hello there, the fabric I am familiar with has a light rubber or pVC coating on it. If it gets dirty, it is recommended that you use water and a soft cloth (nothing abrasive) to clean up the dirty places. It is not recommended that you use heavy duty cleaners etc on it, so I would assume that also means you shouldn't machine wash it. It appears to be relatively easy to clean (of course that depends on what it is soiled with). Hope that helps, God Bless.

I haven't washed it yet but the tags clearly say machine wash cold, gentle cycle and tumble dry with low temperatures. Light iron as needed. When I purchased it in order to get the wrinkles out I ironed it lightly using a pressing cloth to prevent scorching.

It says machine washable and tumble dry low but i have not tried it yet. It is so beautiful that i am afraid to try it. Afraid it might not look the same but do not know

I actually haven't washed it before. I'm sure you could wash it on a low setting. You could also let it air-dry to prevent any other wear and tear on it.

The tag says dryclean only but I've washed it on the gentle cycle in the washing machine and dryed on the lowest setting and it's fine.

Yes, I washed mine. I used the gentlest setting and mild deterent (half amount suggested) using cold water. I put it in the drier with a fabric softer sheet on the air setting . I let the air cycle on the dryer complete twice. Then I hung it on a line outside to allow it to completely dry. Perfect.

yes it does wash well - I put it in the machine with some of my special sweaters on delicate cycle and let it air dry - right before it is completely dry I throw it into the dryer for a few minutes to make sure the inside is thoroughly dried and fluff it up a bit
