They've sold a few, back in May they were only $14.88!

Vinyl felt-back tablecloth material is sold by the yard at most fabric stores. No better way to make your washer smell like an aquarium than to shut the lid and trap all moisture inside with a plastic cover!

I remember when the covers were in the Sears catalog. Mom just kept something draped over the machine with the top open. Why spend money foolishly when you grew up during the Great Depression?

A very "Bronx New York" product!!!

These were very popular one time in Bronx New York kitchens LOL!! They were used especially when the washing machine was next to the stove! LOL

Personally I don't care for brown or plaid (ick).

 

I have bought a number of these (below) to cover my machines, which do not see regular use.   They work great for what I need, keeping the dust off.    If I do cover any which have been recently used, I leave them uncovered and open for about a week.

 

These covers are currently $14 each.   They've got up $2 each since I last bought.

What a strange thing

like plastic covered sofas and lamp shades and car seats. Keep that resale value! Forsake comfort.

A perfect solution

Those patterned covers make an easy, but tacky one-step solution of giftwrapping a washer or dryer!
Add a bow and ribbon and you'll have a package that'll make your beloved scream with delight!

These are very common in many parts of Arizona where most laundry pairs located are outside.

Attractive and practical - what more could you ask for?

A properly protected washer and dryer could have withstood a Red attack. And as we all know, looking good is the next best thing to being good as far as armies go, Napoleon and Tin Disease not withstanding.
