Taking Care of Your Cover
You did the right thing and purchased a quality car cover and slipped iton your car successfully - but your not really done. Proper care of acar cover is simple but vital to prolonging the protective qualitiesthat you purchased the cover for in the first place.
Cleaning your cover is easy as they are washable in large commercialwashing machine (preferably one without an agitator), but DO NOT put acover in the dryer. This cannot be stressed enough, as Williamsonstates.
"You can put a car cover in the washing machine but it can't go in thedryer. Good quality car covers are made of fairly versatile fabrics aslong as you don't put them in the dryer. Other than that they are prettymuch a no-brainer product. We encourage people to use water a lightdetergent like Fantastik(R) All Purpose Cleaner because many of theharsh detergents, such as the type you use for your clothes, can gettrapped into the cover and make it porous, thus reducing the cover'sprotective qualities."
