Carla N. from San Diego, Ca asked:
Is it NOT recommended to wash the side walls in a washing machine? Being that they're flame retardant, would machine washing compromise that feature and/or damage the fabric?

It is recommended to just use warm water and non-abrasive dish soap on these fabrics. You do not want to use anything with bleach in it.

EZ-Up recommends that these covers be hand-washed only, using a mild detergent to scrub any spots from them. Washing and drying will cause the fabric to degrade.
