yes, I've washed mine several times with delicates in the machine. I put the velcro together and then just throw it in and air dry it.

I'm not sure either. Normally when I washed my children's stuffed animals I tied them up in a pillowcase and washed on gentle cycle, with great success. That's probably what I would do with this one as well, however since it is in my grandson's "custody" and he lives almost 5 hours from me, I'll probably just advise his parents of my experience and hope for the best!

I Wouldn't Try Machine Washing The Doll, As I Think The Soft Body Would Get Lumpy And Perhaps The Seam Would Separate. However, I Think It Could Take Gentle Washing With A Clean, Lightly Soapy Cloth.

I'm not sure about washing it in a washing machine. We spray ours down with a vinegar and water solution.

Just like an electric blanket you can wash it but I do not put mine in a dryer.

Yes. It can go in the washing machine. I haven't had to wash it yet, but I cover it with a blanket to keep I clean.

Don't wash it. Just spot wash it with dawn. When you wash it, hit loses all softness but it is still a great bear. The best part is how long the arms and legs are for kids to hold onto.

I washed mine in the machine. No dryer though. I needed to iron it to get the edges down flat

I think it would probably be fine in a washing machine. I would refrain from putting it in the dryer.

No, not yet. When I do, it will be in the washing machine with cold water. Then, I will air dry it. That is my plan. It works for most unusual things.

Hey Scott, indeed this can be washed. It's 100% cotton yet was prewashed for shrinkage so it should not shrink much if at all. I would take it to a nearby dry cleaners who will have x-large capacity machines & you can ask them to wash it on the gentle cycle & spot clean if necessary. You can also ask them to dry it on low heat to control for shrinkage. I would Not take it to a laundromat -- take it to a professional dry cleaners. :) Have a great day!

You can wash it on gentle in the washing machine. Then put it in the dryer on low for a few minutes just to get the wrinkles out. I have washed mine several times.

Strangely, most stuffed animals say not to machine wash them. But with two small children in my house, sometimes they need a real good cleaning. When I clean any of my girls' stuffed things, I put them with a couple other things in a lingerie bag and toss them in with my regular laundry. That usually seems to protect them from the agitation while still getting them nice and clean. You can do it on the gentle cycle if you like. The dryer can be tricky, but, again, I have never had any problems, as long as I only use low heat. The thing to remember is that you want to make sure the stuffed thing gets *completely* dry so no mold or mildew grows inside it. As a side note, I have learned that you should not wash stuffed things with towels. They get covered in a weird film of towel fuzz.

I haven't had the need to wash the Stuffie yet. I imagine if you utilize the "gentle" cycle of the washing machine and use low heat in the dryer it should be fine.

Usually most stuffed animals can be machine washed. If you place themin a pillowcase tied with either a shoestring or ponytail elastic they'll besafe.Then drying is optional, you can either put the pillowcase & animal inthe dryer, or dry flat a couple days on a towel.

Yes, Dee, you can wash it in the machine. Just don't dry it--let it air dry.
