Vinyl windshield cover through washing machine?

[tpi]

I can't imagine this would be best for maximum life. But wondering if anyone successfully put it through machine wash? Maybe a short gentle cycle.

Normally I scrub it on my driveway. Daydreaming of a lazier way of doing it which may get it cleaner.

Leave it as is - every mark is just a battle scar.

Clorox Clean-Up spray. Spray, let it sit for a few minutes light rub with a brush and it's clean and white again!

I can't possibly imagine wasting any less energy than laying it flat on the driveway, spray with Simple Green, and hose off. Trying to stuff that in a machine is too much like real work.

Don't think I'd try that....... I found an easier way than laying it on the driveway and scrubbing. Lot less elbow grease with just this and a towel,just wipe it on and dry when it is installed on the windshield.

Comes out nice and white.

Friend of mine did it and it screwed up all the stitching threads.

.....and he was back to the driveway with a brush and soap after having to buy a new one! :W
