How do you wash a car cover?

Got an outdoor car cover, it's a OEM BMW one.

How do I wash it?

Cheers

Don't laugh, but it might well have a "washing advice" label on it - you know, 40°, no bleach, don't tumble dry, cool iron, that sort of thing.

I'm pretty sure mine does (not that I've washed it).

Sounds just like mine. I'd give it a gentle wash in the machine; lowish temp.

Let me know how you go - you're now my official guinea pig
