It's cotton, with a plasticky coating on one side. I usually wipe it but wondered if i could put it through the machine for a good wash?

I would - I wash my plastic shower curtain and that comes out alright.

Yes you can! I've done it several times- keep the wash coolish (no higher than 40 I would say)m, and don't tumble dry!

LOL don't iron it!
It has survived the machine and is now drip-drying over the bath (i sound like my mother!)
