    I would be concerned about shrinkage and not being able to get the casing back on the stick. Can you wash it without taking it apart?

    or perhaps cover it? I haven't really seen one, so this maybe a stupid suggestion ;-)

    Just open a seam and take it off. Use the removed cover as a pattern and make a new one!!!
