Duckie, I just got my sunflower yellow cover off the clothesline. I rarely ever hang clothes on it. Other than the magnets, it's looks like new. Possibly a little bleached but not bad. The baking soda and water did better than liquid soap and water and better than Oxiclean and water.

I took a plastic container that the cover just fit in. I put in about 12 ounces of lukewarm water, 2.5 tablespoons--soup spoons?--of baking soda and mixed it till it dissolved. I put the cover in, sealed the container, and shook it for three or four minutes. Then I took a soft brush and brushed the cover, She soft spine was the hardest to get clean.

It looks great. Duckie, I don't know if you remember the civilian detective named Monk who had OCD. I enjoyed his television show but always thought he was a little careless and sloppy for an OCD guy. In one seasons introcutions he's leaving his house and three umbrellas were hanging on hooks, two facing right and one facing left. He had to change the odd one. But, no way would Monk have ever had three umbrellas. Two or four, but never three. That's me and my yellow Kindle cover. I wish they made another cloth cover in bright green or rose or light blue or even purple. I'm old and when I set a Kindle down in a black or navy blue cover it disappears. How they disappear is one of those of physics theories that Einstein didn't get around to explaining.

Thanks, Duckie.

Duckie, I sent your solution--pardon the pun--to Amazon and gave you credit. I hope they give it to customer service so if someone calls looking for cleaning instructions they can give the Duckie Tigger Solution to them.
