We recommend not putting the book into a washing machine, but rather using a damp cloth to remove any stains. If the book becomes wrinkled, a simple press of the iron will straighten it right out. The book will be ironed before shipping, but keep in mind it may become slightly wrinkled during shipping & might need a quick press when it arrives. We love custom designs so don't hesitate to ask! Please note, as per the title, description, & photos, this is not an actual book with pages, but a PILLOW book, instead of pages, it is a cushion.
