Washing Britax Marathon Cover

Has anyone done it in the washing machine? The instructions say to hand wash, but I feel like that will take forever to dry. At least the washing machine will spin it dry.

Karen-I always put them in the washer and dryer (despite the washing label instructions-I'm a rebel like that LOL) and they always come out fine. I have 2 and I've washed them countless times.

I washed mine in the washing machine but then let it air dry. My sister put hers in the dryer and something melted on it.

Thanks ladies! It is absolutely filthy, so I wanted to use the washing machine. There is no way I would have gotten it clean enough hand washing it.

I'm debating the dryer - I do have an air setting, but it's only for 20 minutes at a time.

Re: Washing Britax Marathon Cover

I washed and dried in the machines. I just used the gentle (delicate) cycle and dried it on low.

Came out fine, didn't shrink or get ruined.

Success! I machine washed it on gentle and dried it on low. It came out like brand-new! Now that I know how to do it, I have to do it more often. 1 year was just too long to go Chat Icon .

Thanks everyone for your help!!

Same here. I've only had to wash DD's once, but when I did I washed it on the gentle cycle and put it outside to dry.

We do ours in the washing machine and then let it air dry. It has always been fine.
