I wash my cotton car covers at the laundry mat . I use their biggest washers and add very little soap if any . I rinse it 2 times and let it air dry .

I think my cover is a Storm Proof. Let me see if I still have the directions for cleaning.

always follow the manufacturers advice ... becareful as too much washing can remove some of the water proofing on certain covers too.
