I'm thinking I should hand wash it in cold water with Woolite and then line dry it?
Last time, I put in the washing machine and nearly all the design paint came off. Had to be repainted. Not doing that again.

Washing a sousa bell cover
With my parade season now over, it's time for me to do some cleaning. This includes my sousa bell cover.

Re: Washing a sousa bell cover
Unless you were marching through smoke or acid rain does it really need washing?
Cant carry a tune but I can carry a tuba.
