I have not....but I wouldn't try it unless you are willing to have it be ruined. Ever wash a wool sweater in the machine? The combination of water and friction causes the wool to "felt," which makes it shrink and get dense. Since the wool filling is inside a cotton cover, it seems that it would get enough friction to felt, and it's not like you can comb it out. You might be left with a lots-o-lumps comforter. And since the cover is 100% cotton that could shrink too. Also, the wool would soak up so much water and it could become so heavy it might damage your machine, or the water may never spin out and you could be left with a moldy mess. If you just want to freshen it up, hang it in the sun (if you are in an area that has sun this time of year!) or throw it in the dryer on extra low (if you have it) or fluff, and add a sachet of lavender, or a rag that has your favorite essential oils dripped on it. Try to avoid putting a dryer sheet in there, dryer sheets contain chemicals that can coat the fibers. If you had a spill or something, treat it like you would carpet with spot treating and a mild soap. Try to dab instead of scrubbing. Or look for a "green" dry cleaner such as Blue Sky. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer, but my experience with washing machine disasters has taught me caution!

It may be difficult to fit in a standard washer, but I don't see why it couldn't go through a cold cycle. Though, I haven't tried it myself.

I then rinse my suit using my washing machine on the Mini, delicate setting. I have very sensitive skin so I need to be sure all of it is out of my suit as I don't want to have problems. then I just hang my suit to dry.

I would try a soft bristled brush like a dish scrubber. The instructions say no machine wash but nothing about dry-cleaning, you could always ask your dry cleaner and see what they say. Our local cleaners is always very helpful and won't take anything they don't feel comfortable with returning in a useable state.

I've washed ours several times in the machine (and dryer). It's getting softer actually - very pleasant. No problems at all with washing/drying.

I do. But, I also put delicate in net washing bag first and set the timer for 3 to 5 mins. Am very VERY happy with the Panda washer. I got the panda just for that reason I wash alot of delicates and white tops and I dont care to use my large washer for one or two things.I also found after useing the panda my washer is not cleaning very well. time for a new one I guess. Happy in wssh. May Green.

I've run mine through the washer numerous times but I let it air dry as I don't want it to shrink in the dryer.

I don't know since it has not become necessary to launder. I would wash in cold water, gentle cycle.

I wash mine in my machine all the time with no problems. I hang out to dry on my line. Beautiful set!!!

I have never seen anyone dry clean bedding. If your front loading washer is large enough, just use that.

I take mine all apart and put it in the washing machine with stain treatment as needed, then hang dry. No dryer.

I have one and I am not a big fan of dry cleaning down. The chemicals are not good for the feathers. I have a large capacity front load washer that I used with a mild detergent and it came out beautiful. I would not use the sanitize setting on the washer. I also dried it at home on a gentle setting. Next time I will have it professionally laundered, ensuring a mild detergent is used. The feathers get brittle a break from dry cleaning. These comforters last for years if taken care of properly. Just think of the detergent used to clean ducks and shore birds after an oil spill ;-)

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

In the order that you asked, No, Yes, and No. When it came time to wash mine, I just put it in a large load washer at a laundromat.

I've never washed the whole thing-I think I would take it to the cleaners, and have it professionally cleaned, rather than trying to do it myself, in the washer. If you do decide to wash it, I would do it on the gentle cycle, cold water, and NOT put it in the dryer.

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

I have washed in cold water on delicate, but I don't use dryer. I line dry.

I have not had to wash either of mine yet. I know it says you can wash the outer lining. I, myself, would probably wash the inside on a very very gentle cycle. Then place in dryer. I hope this may be of some help.
