I guess, but it's explicit purpose is to be laid in the dirt and jumped on by dirty climbers with their black shoes and their chalk dust (It's okay, I can say that, I'm one of them). It'd be like washing your doormat. Kind of pointless....washable, maybe. But it is made of 3.5 inches of foam. Foam holds water pretty good so it would be hard to dry it out properly. When we use ours, we just wipe off big bits of dirt, and slap the dusty spots a few times. This seems to release the dust/chalk nicely. It gets them clean enough to put in the back seat of our cars. At least that has been my experience. (I've never puked on one. etc.) For some reason these just don't stay dirty.
