What are the washing instructions. I read one review that stated it cannot be put in the dryer. Is this accurate?

The washing instructions, sent separately, did warn against drying it in the dryer because the fibers could melt.

Exact Tag Washing Instructions: 100% Polyester - Machine wash in cold water, gentle cycle, with mild detergent, do not bleach, tumble dry low, delicate cycle, remove promptly from dryer, do not iron.

I don't have this exact one, I have the "Van Gogh" print throw. The tag that is attached says, Machine wash, cold, gentle cycle, tumble dry on low.

The tag says it is machine washable AND dry-able (low heat, gentle cycle, remove promptly). I haven't washed ours yet, but just plan on following the instructions on the label. It's a nice, well-made blanket & should clean up nicely.

If you dry it on low heat it should be fine. High heat melts the fibers and leaves crunchy spots. I have the Van Gogh print, not this one, but it should still apply.

I did machine wash, at a professional laundry place. Extra large load. I also placed in the extra large dryer and dried until slightly damp. Do not over dry. Mine came out fine. Good luck....

Yes, I've washed mine a couple times in the washer & dried it on low heat in the dryer. It looks good :-).

I washed it in a cold, cold setting and did not put it in the dryer and no shrinkage. :)

I agree with you Carole about heating it up in microwave & washing. I am going to wash on delicate and air dry. I will let you know how it turns out.Thanks for the suggestion.Washed in washing machine on hand washable with Woolite. I added a towel so it wouldn't bounce around so much. Turned out clean and I am air drying, taking awhile but so worth it!

I washed mine as soon as I got it in cold water seperately in case it bled and then threw it in the dryer and did not exsperince any shrinking. Hope this helps

I have washed it in the washer with warm/cold water, detergent and oxi cleaner. I dried it in the dryer on high heat. I washed and dried it with a towel load. It came out fine. It was hard to unsnap but that's probably good so that it doesn't come off unless you want it to.

Machine wash (I've done cold and warm, both fine) and either let it air dry flat or I often put it in the dryer for 5 minutes then let it air dry

Mine did not shrink even after a couple washes. I think I even ran it through the dryer but don't remember for sure.

We have not tried to wash at of this date. I think it will be washed in soft cycle when we change to our winter Coverlet. It is synthetic and I see no reason it can not be washed. Based on price and cost to send to cleaners, you could buy one somewhat often. We will absolutely try the home wash method. I do think my wife will not let our housekeeper do the washing.

I do wash mine on delicate but don't put it in the dryer as it will tear it apart, make a ton of noise and possibly melt...

Sorry about the delay in replying. I looked at the covers for laundry instructions and there wasn't any specific details about washing so as of right now I don't know.

I washed it but didn't put it in the dryer. There are instructions but I don't remember what it says. I remember That after a while little fuzziness started forming on the pillow case and with daily use you may want to consider getting a second one so you have it ready when you need it.

I put in in the washer under gentle and hung it to dry. I personally wouldn't put it in the dryer I would be afraid it would pill up. It came out fine.

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

Just do not put it in washer dryer. Hand wash in woolite, lay flat to air dry. Problem solved.

Hi Arnold - I probably won't be of much help since I bought this for my newphew for Christmas and haven't personally used it. But since I do use items like that at my house, I wash items like that in warm water (don't use fabric softeners) and I don't put my items in the dryer. If my nephew has used it, I'm sure he didn't give much thought on washing instructions lol! Good luck!
