I was leery the first time I tried it, but my cat had urinated on our couch and we couldn't get the smell out. We were going to have to trash it or wash it. So I wash them, I used the delicate cycle the first time and they came out fine. I have done it since then using regular detergent and the regular wash cycle. I even dry them in the dryer, no shrinkage! I don't know if all microfiber is the same, so beware! But mine come out fine every time. Be sure you zip them closed before washing and drying, it has damaged the stitching on the zippers when I washed them with them still open. If you are worried about drying them, you can just lay them out flat and they will dry, but the dryer is much faster! Good luck!
