With winter storage creeping up quickly, I had a question about washing car covers. Basically, mine found it's way into some oil and I want to have it washed. Does anybody know the correct way to do it or of somebody (possibly a laundromat or industrial cleaners) that will do it for me?

Thanks

The cover that comes with the SS says to machine wash it in a mild detergent, tumble dry on gentle. I think if you use some spray and wash or murphyus oil soap on the oil stain you should be good to go.

The directions that came with our Evolution 4 and PlushWeave covers from California Car Cover Co. say to use 16 oz. of Fantastik cleaner.

I take the car covers to a laundromat and use the large front loaders for sleeping bags and other large items/loads.

That's a good Question.
I have been pondering the same thing.
Thanks for the info.
