Has anyone tried washing the blanket in the washing machine in cold water? (Even though the care instructions say to dry clean).

yes. Just like washing a wool sweater. I use Woolite or some other mild laundry detergent in cold water. Put in dryer with no heat and then line dry. Looks and feels like new.

I have with Tide, cold water on delicate. No Downy & no dryer. Also remember never submerge straps in water as this jeopardize the safety function of them.

Truthfully, I haven't yet washed it. I only spent $22.00 on this set so I am not about to dry clean it. I would wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle and hope for the best.

Yes, in cold water with a mild detergent. I think it is necessary to air dry, though, so plan ahead for that. (wiping it with a dry towel will help speed the process)

Yep! I've washed mine 4 or 5 times now. It says to wash it alone. I don't know why, but I do. Cold, gentle and air-dry. Comes out great!

Yes, I have used the washing machine to wash the bag. I put it inside one of those zippered bags that are used to wash lingerie & delicate items just to be on the safe side & I did not put it in the dryer & it came out just fine. I think I washed it in the cold cycle with medium agitation.

I have washed ours; but it says to line dry. I don't want to take the chance with the dryer.

I just washed in cold water and then dried on low (two long cycles) and then fluff well. Mainly just wash the pillow case regularly to keep the pillow washing to a minimum.

I washed mine in the machine in cold water with liquid fabric softener, stretched it out over a stand-up wooden drying rack and let air dry. Didn't hurt it a bit and it stayed soft.

I did machine wash in cold and did not put in dryer. It washed fine. No problems.

I haven't washed mine. I don't think I would chance putting it in the washing machine. You could probably hand wash it with no problem.

I have not washed mine, but I would put it in a standard pillowcase(tie it together) on gentle cycle, cold water and very lite spin. It will be pretty wet, but you could squeeze out the excess moisture. Dry with little to no heat.

I have. But just as important as the detergent is of course how the garment is handeled... they came out beautifully submerged in ice cold water, rinsed, reshaped and rolled in towles to remove excess water, draped over a rack to complete the drying. I have a front loaded which has a very safe, gentle hand wash mode; I have done them both ways with great success using this product.

I did. They recommend dry cleaning which I object to. I have washed it on gentle cold water settings using a Maytag machine. I air dry them when they are done washing. The only problem is the label they have glued on.

It says to dry-clean or something of that sort, but for us that defeats the purpose of getting this clean healthy comforter only to take it to the dry cleaners to have them use chemicals on it. Our washing machine has a cycle for wool and i believe it is either warm/cold or cold/cold i would have to look and see, but we wash it and wash it quite often. Right after we hang dry it usually in the sun for the whole day or two days to really dry it out and put in dryer on low for like 8 minutes and its all good, smells great super fresh, batting doesn't seem to move much. we use charlie's soap. hope that helps any questions about these, i don't rave all the time but this is the best comforter i have owned in my life thus far bar none.

I washed my Faribault wool blanket and it came out great. Have not yet washed my 1950s vintage Hudson's Bay blanket but am now willing to try, based on the successful outcome.
