I paid the tad and bought the suit. Ordered a new head which matches pretty well.) The inside is easily cleaned using 50/50 ration of water and vinegar. The outside and gloves are machine washable.<br /><br />Yes, a friend asked me the same thing about the pillow. I may try that. It's already *fun* moving around in it.
