I have my delicates bag ready to go. Any tips on washing Elite clothing? Has anyone had any issues with staining after they've washed the clothes?
Also, is there any clothing that shouldn't be washed? John Morrison's coat? Pillman's and Bulldog's vests? Kevin Von Erich's coat?

My question would be, what's the reasoning of wanting/needing to wash them?
Other than that, I'd say treat it as if it were fine silk.

I've heard of folks who have left the clothes on and it's stained the figures. Others, who have washed, say they haven't had any issues with the cloth clothing leaving stains. |

It works. But i would hand wash them. |

I used to do it all the time to remove any extra dye still in the cloth. I would put them in a delicates bag (mesh baby socks bag) and put it in the wash with either towels or dark clothes. (never with whites or your whites will come out not white anymore)
I haven't had any dye bleeding/staining issues after washing them.

It has a weird plastic like coating on it that will chip off. I washed it and ended up having to replace his coat. So I would suggest anything that feels like that coat do not wash. |

That was low on my list to wash, so I haven't event attempted. It is a strange material. Kinda wondered the same about Nikolai Volkoff's jacket. |

I hand wash mine with warm water and some dish soap. I dont keep accessories on the figures anyway but want to protect Andre, Bundy & Giant singlets....so far...so good.

Pillman's vest seems like it'd melt in a washing machine. It's shiny though so you'd be better off just hand washing it.

Turn them inside out to protect the print. That's what I do with my football jersey's.
