Is there a tag on either the bag or cover that IDs what it is made of?
Or suggested laundry care?

Make sure not to use any bleach. It might make it whiter but may not see logos anymore.

No instructions anywhere that I can see on the bag.

I had mine dry-cleaned. Gentler on it and gets out any stains. Not expensive and I don't expect to get it dirty anytime soon. Mine has a story to it. When I bought my car the owner didn't have it handy and wasn't sure where it was. Over a year later he sent it to me, he found it in the bottom of his golf bag!

Nice find. If you wash it, turn it inside out... logo on the inside. Like David suggests... dry clean would be my pick or simply leave it alone like it is and store it in a nice dry place.

Some dry cleaning solutions can remove or dissolve logos. My vote is to hand wash using dish wash detergent if you must. Hang dry but don't iron logos. It might melt.
