Yes. You can hand-wash the Luther Bennett Travel Pod. This is best done by hand in cool water. We don't recommend washing above 30°C / 86°F However you can reduce the need to do this by maintaining the outer skin on an ongoing basis. We recommend that once a week, you use a soft brush to remove any hair from the base of the bed. Then wipe the outer shell clean with a microfibre cloth.This will keep the product in excellent condition and ensure it lasts.If you have questions about maintenance please contact us by email at info@lutherbennett.com
