are these covers washable & if so do they shrink?

I shake and vacuumed them, that worked fine. Have not tried washing but I think it would work too.

We have not needed to wash them. Although the insides got quite muddy, the outside (which contacts our indoor floors) stayed clean. We just let them air dry and banged them on the grass outside to remove the dirt. This worked well; no need to wash.

We recommend that you hang them up with the loop hook on the back of the shoe slipper and let the mud/dirt dry out. Once they are dry shake them out like a rug. This usually works better than washing them.

Yes, the covers are removable and clean nicely in the washing machine. The problem with them is that they get dirty easily as they are very light in color so you have to wash them a lot.

Yes they are machine washable. I just toss them in with my regular laundry and they still come out looking brand new

The cover is fully removable and can be washed. I would wash in cold and air dry, otherwise you risk shrinking it!

They can be washed. I like the nylon ones better as they don't stretch out as much as the cotton version. With either, though you did not ask, the manufacturer and the fit vary a lot from order to order. Happily, if you order via prime the "bad ones" can be returned at no cost.

My experience is that throwing them in the washer/dryer is no problem at all. They will shrink quite a bit the first time but that's why they are so huge. I even throw them in boiling water from time to time.

They shrink a little bit but not that much. They still are the size of a dish towel. Hope that helps. I have not bought paper towels since I got this.

Yes, I was afraid washing would ruin them. Let me know what your friends advise (thanks :) We just keep the covers on them and wash the covers, and air the duvets out in the open air (shade). Use flannel covers for winter and cotton covers for summer. Seems to work fine. Good luck with yours.

I wash them without any trouble at all. I have a couple sets that I swap out while one is drying, so far so good.

I put them in the washer and have put them in the dryer and it doesn't seem to bother them. The only thing is that the edges pick up lint from the dryer. They are invincible!

Are these very thin? I would like to purchase but not sure if they're durable after washes. I don't want them to rip! :(

I wash in hot water (no bleach, just Tide) and dry thoroughly and have not had any noticeable shrinkage. GREAT stain release! These are not designer kitchen towels, they're the WORKHORSE of commercial kitchens and should be he same in yours.

Yes, they are absolutely machine washable. No need to dry them though. They come out of the washing machine clean and pretty dry.

We washed ours on gentle cycle but didn't dry them in the dryer. Just let them air dry. They didn't shrink on us :) we have the white covers so some stains remained but definitely look better!!

I don't know. I haven't tried to wash them. From looking at it I would say they probably are. You would have to wash them in cold water and don't put them in the drier. I never put anything in the drier unless I am sure it won't shrink.

Yes, I have washed mine twice. Just take the metal handles off them. I haven't seen any signs of shrinkage or seam failure.

I didn't even look. I just wash mine in cold water and they come out of the dryer just fine. No shrinkage! They are super warm!
