I have mine in a duvet and don't plan on washing them for some time yet. Sorry I couldn't answer your question. However, I do love the comforter, especially that it doesn't shift like my real goose down one did.

I don't dry anything. I think dryers ruin everything; but I also live in an apartment & share a laundry room. Machine wash on permanent press. And then I hung comforter to dry. Fluffed up and does the job. I am using it as an insert for my duvet.

Kim ~ I have always thrown mine in the washing machine with clorox.It does not lose it's shape or shrink; however, I do not put mine in the dryer.I have probably washed mine 20 times without any problems.

I would just put it in the wash by itself on gentle cycle with regular soap and hot water, then lay it flat to dry on a towel. Do not put in dryer.

I have not washed mine yet. I was thinking that when the time came I probably would take it to the dry cleaners. I haven't read the Manufacturers Care Instructions. Sorry.

Sorry about your bad luck on that! Yes you can wash it but I wouldn't put in a washing machine with agitators and definitely don't put it in the dryer.

I probably wouldn't put it in the dryer - it feels pretty cheap. I always air dry mine.

I have not had to clean it yet, normally i just shake it off well before stuff sacking it. However, I don't think i personally would trust putting this in the washing machine, and definitely not the dryer. I'd worry about something twisting up or catching on something. I would probably recommend hand washing and then hanging it to dry if you feel the need to fully wash it. Hope This is helpful.

I machine wash it and hang it dry to be safe. Have not tried it in the dryer.

I use a small amount of laundry soap, cold water, short cycle, gentle spin- then air fluff ( no heat!) in dryer. Or u could air dry, or hang in the sun if it ever comes out again!

I washed it in our front-loading washer and then into the dryer and it came out fluffy, with absolutely no problems. Maybe some people talked about dry cleaning because their washer/dryer can't handle large loads?

I haven't tried the washing machine, but I've hand washed it in the sink with dishsoap, and let it air dry over the weekend, and it washes up fairly well. Sometimes I just use some cleaner on a towel and wipe it out as well, and that works pretty nicely too. If you do wash it in the machine, let me know how it comes out- I think it'd be fine, as long as the cycle is gentle and you don't heat dry it....

I washed mine in the washing machine with cold water but I didn't put it in the dryer. It seemed to work fine, I didn't notice any changes in it.

It is very bulky so I brought ours to a laundromat and used the large capacity washer for $7.00 It worked fine and then dried it for $2.00 in their large dryer. It came out great!

I throw it in the washing machine and the dryer and it comes out beautiful -- no shrinking, unwrinkled.... I've already washed it a half dozen times -- it's holding up like new...hope this is helpful.

I washed mine in the machine. No dryer though. I needed to iron it to get the edges down flat

I throw mine in the washing machine with the underwear, warm wash, gentle cycle. You're supposed to lay it flat to dry, but it holds a lot of water even after a gentle spin dry; so I put the whole load in the dryer for maybe 10 minutes on medium-low heat, to fluff it and let the other items absorb some of the moisture. Then when it's partially dry, I take it out and lay it flat. Seems to work well--after several months I have not yet seen any sign of aging from the dryer. Update: I've been using these for over a year now. The only change I've made is, I've gotten a drying rack; so instead of laying it flat when it's partially dry, I drape it over the rack. After a year, they're still soft, supple, and lie flat.

It is very easy to wash. Just take it apart and stick only the material in the wash. I wash it and hang dry only, I have never tried sticking it in dryer.
