GM Car Cover

My GM car cover is filthy. Does anyone know if these covers can be washed by machine?

There should be a label inside along the edge of the cover.

Yes, I wash mine. On the hand wash cycle, no soap and line dry.

Do not put it in the dryer, even on fluff, it will melt.

I checked and there are no tags. I'll try washing as you describe Screw. It can only improve it. Thanks all.

Also some cover companies tell you to hose it down, then turn it inside out and hose it down again. But I have always put mine in the machine, cold water and hand wash cycle.

Some covers are so bulky, they have to be done in a large laundrymat machine.
Mine can be done in home machines.
