Yup...another early morning.

I think I've done more early mornings lately than normal ones.

It's like a vinyl outside but very soft inside. I wash with regular laundry detergent - about 1/2 a capful... usually "line dry" when possible.

I had to really dry it once and I swear it shrunk a bit although it does seem to have stretched back out.

But if you can't line dry for any reason then definitely dry on super low heat - it will probably take 2 hours to do so

NO !!!

Do not put the cover in the dryer, even on low
The cover is too big, even in a commercial dryer to move around
You get hot spots because the fabric is not moving, not allowed to move
Heat will do all sorts of damage, remove rain protection, shrinkage, and even melting
These comments are based upon real world experience
My CRX-Si cover is now a tad shorter than it used to be, it saddens me
My S2000 cover is my 2nd one, the 1st one is in a landfill somewhere

I use a leaf blower on the inside, blowing to the outside, to blow the dust out of it
I wash it, more like rinse it with cold water only, in a commercial machine, one of the huge capacity front loaders so the fabric can move around
