Can this be washed in a regular sized washer or does it require a commercial washer?

This week my old washing machine broke down and while I viewed machines I noticed this detail 'Today's machines range from 3.1 to 4.5 cubic feet in capacity. An "average" family of four will find 4.0 to 4.2 should meet their needs.'...I would say it depends on the 'regular' size of your washer as it seems the home ones can vary. Do you usually wash comforters in your machine? I would have been able to wash the sleeping bag in the machine I have, if it were working. :D

I washed it in my front loading machine (no agitator) and it washed just great. Took awhile to dry! But came out nice and clean no wear shown.

As long as you don't have an agitator it can be done at home washer. If you do have an agitator, then no.

I would only wash it either in a front load machine or one without the agitator. I have not washed mine yet, but when I do it will be at the laundry mat in one of the big front loaders. Would hate to see it get torn up.

Hey Scott, indeed this can be washed. It's 100% cotton yet was prewashed for shrinkage so it should not shrink much if at all. I would take it to a nearby dry cleaners who will have x-large capacity machines & you can ask them to wash it on the gentle cycle & spot clean if necessary. You can also ask them to dry it on low heat to control for shrinkage. I would Not take it to a laundromat -- take it to a professional dry cleaners. :) Have a great day!

it will clean perfectly in a standard washer and dryer. It's not as bulky as a king size comforter.

I have had mine professionally washed. It did not pull or shed. Perhaps that is due to the larger washer capacity.

The washing instructions are easy and clear. Regular wash cycle. We have a king size and it is about all our washer can handle.

I have the full size and when I tried to wash it in my old washer (Maytag "Oversize capacity Plus" top load washer) it didn't go well at all. I stuffed it in okay but actually think it broke my washer on the spin cycle because it got way too heavy once wet. So if you are looking to have to purchase a new washer :-) then go for it! Otherwise keep in mind you could always take to laundry mat because in theory it won't need to be washed very often. I hang mine out in the sun every couple months as suggested with wool. Hope that helps!

I have not had my quilt long enough to require washing. It is nice quality but being oversized I would be hesitant to put in my home washer. I would probably recommend a commercial washer on gentle cycle.

I have washed mine in the sink with with mild detergent but I see no reason why you could not put it through the washer. It is a great product. I own several of them and have given them as gifts.

I have a front load washer and have washed it only once since I bought it. But it is fine I love it I don't even use a top sheet. Len

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.

Dry clean is the best bet ,it is very large and won't fit in most washers. Works great if your using it for really cold weather but really hot otherwise.

Yep. We had to take it to a laundromat to find a washer big enough but it does fine in the wash. There's no cover, so you stick the whole thing in there. Wash warm, tumble dry low I believe.

I have not put it in a washer machine however it seems like it would hold up to washing just fine. I would not put it into a dryer though.

I wash it in my front loader but if you have a hand wash cycle I am sure it would be fine. It is pretty durable !

It is front load commercial washer or spot cleaned an not to be dry cleaned . I have not had mine on long enough to try it on my hand wash cycle.

The first washer i had an old Sears 900 series could wash it although barely . i have a newer Maytag with an extra large capacity that it does just fine in. So I guess it depends on the size washer you have if it can handle the wet weight of it. Also. I take a fine tooth comb to it after drying comes out so nice. I love this blanket!

Yes, it is machine washable. I don't have a large washer so I have to take it to a laundromat or use my friend's front load machine.
