This item is home washable. It's lightweight and thin, perfect for avoiding air conditioning and easy to carry, with a convenient and elegant design. There are no yellowing or stains, but please see photos 5 and 6 for areas where snags (frays) have been repaired. I would appreciate it if those who are not overly concerned with minor details would consider purchasing. Please understand that the item will be folded small for shipping. Please feel free to ask any questions.
