Has anyone machine washed (&amp; dried) these? Any tips? Dry cleaning is not going to work for us.

Hello Joshua, I have not heard of anyone using a regular washer and dryer. I strongly suggest dry clean as to not ruin the comforter in anyway. Sincerely, Erika Starr Designer Living Customer Service 1-888-879-8790 Info@designerliving.com

no,the set that I have says dry clean only,check some of the other sets on Amazon,I think there were some that were machine wash,but it was a while back,at that time I had looked at so many,just check all the sets ,you should find what your looking for as far as getting them cleaned.

I use warm water on a regular wash cycle. I don't machine dry them, seems like I saw somewhere not to, also not to use hot water, though that might be your first instinct. Most of the time they're completely dry in a couple hours when I hang them over a chair to dry, outside drying is great if your weather permits it.

I put mine in the washer and dryer all the time. Even though they dry quickly, I suspect they will eventually harbor bacteria, so I highly recommend washing them.

Pull them inside out and let them dry. No they can not be washed in a machine.

I actually did put them in the washer and they were fine. Do NOT put them in the dryer. Or you make soak them in warm water with fabric detergent. Rinse well and Air dry.

They wash in the machine, they do require a lot of ironing so you may want to remove them while they are still damp.

Haven't noticed it yet. My husband only uses them at night. He doesn't move much. They are washed, bleached double rinsed daily. You cannot use a dryer or the waterproofing wears off. Hope this was helpful.

They do say machine washable and dry-able, HOWEVER.... I tried in a bag and out... the only complaint I have is both ways, the sample group , (I only used about 5-7 snowballs, some in and out of a secured pillow case ), is that they lose that crunchy feel they have. After this result the rest I just refreshed in the dryer without wetting them, (so far only indoor play), and they came out perfect. I haven't tried hand washing and air drying yet, but plan on giving it a try soon. Certainly they all remained in action and the kids seem to love them no matter what they feel like. I hope that helps some.

I hand wash mine with mild soap and warm water, reshape them and air dry. So far, so good!

I'm pretty sure they should be hand washed and dried. I never put mine in the dishwasher, so I don't know how they would do.

I shake and vacuumed them, that worked fine. Have not tried washing but I think it would work too.

I have washed them, but I have not put them in the dryer. I prefer to air dry, but if you do I suggest you use the low setting to protect from shrinkage.

I wash in warm water and dry them on the lowest setting. My dryer has an automatic sensor so I let it determine the time. Occasionally I have to run them through the dryer a second time but not often. They do fine that way.

Agreed - hand wash and dry. I wouldn't use them frequently though, maybe just one more time.

I haven't needed to replace them yet but I have rinsed them under a hard stream from the fawcet then air dried them til really dry & that`s worked really well. When needed, I plan on buying them directly from the manufacturer.
