I ask because mine are filthy-and my local drycleaner will not clean them. Is it possible to wash them?  
I’d sure appreciate some advice!

The TLDR version is hand wash in cold water with Ivory soap or baby shampoo (not Woolite). Air dry, gently stretch now and then, and put back on the seats before they’re 100% dry so they don’t shrink.
