I have done this and it is amazing how clean they get.  I put just the two fronts in the largest commercial washer I could find with mild soap.
I put them back on still damp and they conformed perfectly.  Then put them out in the sun.
I spilled a coffee on one about a week after, damn.

down side is that you have to disassemble the seat to get the material off
of the frame.  I'm putting heated seat elements into my front seats this
fall and I'm going to give it a try then, I'll be taking the seats apart so
I might as well.
