Washed my recaro vivo cover and not happy

After our long drive to and from disneyland, some of the seats needed a little cleaning. I checked the directions for each- they were all the same. I washed them all together and the same way. They all said, wash by hand in cold water with mild detergent, line dry. I washed in cold water in the bathtub with a tiny bit of all detergent. Then I rinsed in cold water, squeezed the excess, line dried outside, then inside. The radian cover is fine. So is the britax bodyguard. The vivo's cover, however is messed up. I didn't wash the head part because it wasn't dirty. You can tell.

The label on the side is falling off, plus some of the red bled.

There is also a spot where the fuzz has fallen off.

Did I do something horribly wrong? Is this normal for recaro covers?

Talked to recaro. They don't make blush anymore. The lady also said they don't have spare covers here. (Also, the seat is out of warranty.) I guess I shouldn't wash covers after the warranty period.

Wow! :eek: This makes me worry because I have a Vivo Lite in Crimson and a Vivo in Cobalt that really need a good bath. :( I don't want to ruin my covers by washing them. Soooo sorry that hand washing them messed them up. I usually do the gentle cycle on my wash and line dry all my covers, but now I am not even sure I want to attempt to wash the Vivo's now. :rolleyes:
