How easy is this to wash? Price is steep for something that might smell like butt real quick.....if I can't wash it.

don't think you can, nor would I try, to put it in a Washer, but you can surely wipe it down and clean it off. Amazon price is lower than other popular catalogs... It is a well made product.

I wash on high heat, both washer & dryer. I don't guess it needs high heat in the dryer, but it doesn't seem to hurt it. Warm or air dry would work just as well. I want it real clean and fresh-smelling because I sleep on it with two little boys, and I want all the "pee-smell" out. It gets washed often, and has stood up really well to all the washings. It never smells, and I wash it with towels and underwear. I do not use bleach, and there are no stains. Nothing gets thru the bottom layer, and it's very absorbant. The only drawback is that it "sleeps warm". The boys often throw off their covers, so this works well for them. Not so much for me. I have four of these pads, and I'm very happy with them.

You really need to have a huge washing machine that even try this. Anyway, I don't think it is machine washable.

I haven't washed it yet but it look sewed on . Also , it smelled really great at first. But after about 5 uses , it smells really bad from microwave . It smells like burned popcorn and my kids have to leave the room . You may want toLook into a different one, especially after the cost of it . Good Luck '

Haven't had to wash it yet but I would try it...on the gentle cycle with cold water and a very small drop of detergent.

I've had mine for several months now... I use it as a cover on my love seat for my dogs to lay on. I wash it every week. It just seems to get softer!

I have not had to wash yet. After purchase I fluffed in dryer, but no washing...yet. I have two kids, but no pets. I'm sure I'll need to wash it soon.

My daughter and I both use it and both have found it's not easy to wash out. We don't use it every day so it's not that big of a deal to us.

That is the big issue. Have not washed it yet. But sooo big will have to use a dry cleaners as there machines are bigger. Open question to really find out. Think this is my only down fall but other than that love it.

Try adding Downy UN-stoppables to the beginning of the wash cycle as well! ON a good note the smell last for a little more than a week after the wash.

Very easy! Just wipe it off with a damp cloth. To me, the fabric seems very resistant to water and dirt. (But then again, i don't have a dog.)

We have not had to wash it to this point. I would put the question to the manufacturer at http://www.khmfg.com/deluxe-car-seat-saver.html if Carol's message doesn't satisfy your concerns.

Haven't washed it yet? Not gonna lie, I don't see it lasting for more then a year or so. My daughter is very hard on her things & it doesn't seem like it can't take the abuse. But for the price I'm happy!

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.

Sadly have to admit. . .Haven't washed it yet. I am waiting to have the time to take it to an industrial laundromat big enough to try to have plenty of room inside to wash it in a delicate cycle. And then hang it out to dry. Here's to fingers crossed!

I haven't been counting. But it is definitely not made to be disposable, so you can probably wash it many, many times.

There's no smell other than the regular factory smell found in most new items, including clothing, beddings, etc.. One wash and it will come out freshedly smelled with whatever the laundry detergent or softener fragrants you use. Not sure what all those bad comments about this blanket (including the "smell") are about, but there're none for the two blankets I bought (bought the 2nd one since the 1st one is so good...nice and soft). Also recommend you wash it the first time before use, since like clothing, it appears stiff when brand new, but becomes really nice and soft after the wash (regular machine wash, regular dry). It's perfectly fine to wash and dry this blanket. I had no problems with it. There's no smell other than the regular factory smell found in most new items, including clothing, beddings, etc..
