    What would be the best way to clean them. If i stuck the TRD seat covers in the washing machine would it ruin it?

    that is the worse thing to do. the fabric is similar to wetokole's so use their soap. I had a friend with those seat cover, washed them in the washer. the seams started to fray and unravel. not a great idea.

    If you haven't done it, i'd suggest goin to the laudromat or something wtih a front loader that doesn't have an agitator in it. be alot easier on them.

    Call your local dealer and ask them for 'care & maintenance' instructions.

    I don't have neoprene covers at all, but I still throw mine in my 'front loader' washing machine on the gentle cycle cold water. A front loader machine should only tumble them around....lightly.

    Or, take them out in the back yard with a garden hose should do the trick.
    Or, fill up the bathtub and wash 'em by hand.
