Can you wash a car cover?

[moonluv810]

I have a Noah car cover. It's getting a bit dirty. Just wondering if I can just throw it inside a washing machine and be done with it. Or is there any care that I should know?

i've done that in the past and i shrunk the damn thing. trick is to throw it in the washing machine and then leave it out to air dry.

yeah, contact noah and see what they say. you may want to go to a laundromat and use one of their huge washing machines.

it's impossible to find a laundrymat that has a commercial size washer. Don't take it to the cleaners. They won't be able to hang it out to dry.

Your best bet is to leave it on the car and hose it off.

I have a 'Weatherguard' cover from BMP. It is machine washable and I do it every few months. I highly recommend this cover to anyone who is looking.

NEVER PUT IT IN A DRYER! I wrecked my dryer by trying to dry out a cover in winter. It melted onto the drum.
