is it Dry clean only or can it be professionally laundered

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 ;-)

I have always dry cleaned it. Not sure, but it might shrink if laundered. Hope this helps.

My tag on it states dry clean only. Must say they are the beat around. We have numerous ones through out our bedrooms. Excellent quality. I have been using these products for years! Can't go wrong

We recommend having the comforter professionally laundered. We do not recommend home laundering. If laundered properly, the comforter should not be lumpy after being washed and dried thoroughly. Cold water should be used in washing and no heat should be used in drying.

Yes. Washes and dries very well. I dried it on medium heat. There was no shrinkage or loss of shape. It was actually nicer after being laundered.

i have not yet cleaned it only aired it out. I intend to wash it in a gentle warm wash in the washing machine when it needs it.

The instructions say hang dry. Which took me by surprise. I have not laundered mine yet.

It IS a professional dryer. I've inly used it about 6 times but it works great!

It's a dry clean only comforter. I wash the shams without issue. The comforter did okay at the cleaners, they damaged the lining on the bottom, but there was a spot there. All in all, I have had no issue with the product but I do not recommend washing it in the wash machine. I have done this before with other comforters and it usually ends badly.

Good question. It is still new for me and so far I have only used it dry. Sorry

I wash it manualy. Keep it at least 3-4 hours to dry after usage in upside down position.

We have had it dry cleaned once. Was afraid to machine wash because of spin cycle. So I am sticking with dry cleaning

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 haven't tried washing it. It doesn't feel like it would "live" through the process. I would recommend dry cleaning.

Funny that you ask. I own/operate a dry cleaners. This comforter was purchased as a replacement for one of my customers because the one she had was accidentally water washed. The care label did not state dry cleaning only nor do not water wash. Long story short, because of the wool inside I would not recommend washing it in water. Even with the comforter air dried after the cold wash, there was noticeable deformation and shrinkage. Dry Clean if you have the option available to you. Hope that helps.

I haven't had a need to wash it yet, it's used in a spare room. It is made of polyester & cotton. The tag says to dry clean for best results.

Yes it can be washed at home. I would definitely wash it on gentle and dry on gentle.

Very good, I didn't think of that. No, only tag on it says "Dry Clean Only".

I haven't washed it. If it needed cleaning I'd have it dry cleaned to prevent that sort of thing.
