Cleaning car cover
I need to clean my C7 car cover. For some reason the fleece uncover just attracts dirt from the air like crazy. The cover won’t fit in our washer. The guy that maintains the car in storage said I really need to clean it…..so do I go to an industrial laundromat or what?…….thanks for all of your help out there in email land!

I have the factory indoor cover for my 2019. When I purchased the car the inside white felt material was pretty dirty. I sprayed it with some Oxyclean and used a soft brush on the worst areas. I turned it inside out and put it in my washer with maximum load size selected. I added a little Tide and ran on gentle. I dried it some in the dryer on medium and then hung it. It came out great.

Yes, you can take it to a commercial laundry and toss it in one of their large washers then depending on the care instructions either line hang it to dry or put in in a large dryer.

That's what I've done in the past for items like this that don't fit into even a good sized home washer.

I use a cover made of Technalon or Noah. When it needs cleaning, I take it to a nearby laundromat. They have a few industrial sized/HD washing machines that the car cover will fit in. After washing, I take it home, hang it up to let it air dry as the instructions say not to dry in a regular clothes dryer.

When, my washer/dryer finally gave out, I got the largest drum available, which at the time was an LG.
My Noah Cover fits in it with room to spare. I use delicate to dry it. It works out fine.
