I am not clear on the cleaning instruction for the goose down alternative comforter. The duvet appears to be machine washable, but is the comforter?

" the duvet cover as well as the down alternative comforter are machine wash. "

The shams are washable but I would not chance the comforter. If you attempt to wash the comforter it may become flat and lose its shape. Even though the outside material may be washable, the inside of the comforter may bunch and buckle. Better just to wash the shams and take the comforter to the cleaners as recommended. It is a beautiful, heavy comforter. Perfect for the winter.

It says dry clean only. I have only ever dry cleaned it. Has feathers so I wouldn't recommend washing it. However, this is the best comforter we have ever had! Not too hot and not heavy. Warm, light and fluffy!

if you have an extra large home machine (commercial ones are more likely to cause increased damage) and one of the special detergents available for down or fine washables, then sure, wash away. Like any item with special care suggestions, your comforter will last longer if you care for it correctly. The oils in your body, cigarette smoke, etc. ( use a search engine and do your homework) break down the feathers. They need to be fluffed daily, and the instructions will tell you not to sit heavy items on it... including sitting on it yourself. A duvet cover is recommended to keep all of your feathers, as they will work themselves out over time. This is one of the better brands, and has a great price, and very minimal feather loss. Once it"s wet, it is very heavy. The more any of them are agitated (ringing it out by hand will break the feathers down, too. The height you will lose is the term "loft.") Washing by machine will shorten it's lifespan. I might do it myself ... occasionally. But not without a very good reason. Good Luck.

hello, we have not washed our yet...we use a nice bamboo duvet cover that keeps it clean and hang it outside to air out when the weather is nice....it is wool, so if we would ever wash it we would only wash it cold with a mild soap like woolite....and probably go to a laundromat where they have these big commercial washers....but I don't think we will ever wash ours....;) and we never dry clean anything...rather air it out then sleep in something treated chemically!

I havent washed it yet....in a spare bedroom and doesn't get used. It should be washable, just like any other comforter/quilt.

I washed the shams on delicate and dried them on low. They washed great.(still look new) I haven't washed the comforter yet. I feel like it would wash ok also but its so large I will probably take it to the laundry mat when the time comes.:)

The comforter is machine washable--cold water; tumble dry on low heat setting.

I returned the comforter after one night so I have not really tried to machine wash it. What I remember is that it said 'Dry Clean' only on the label.

Yes, this duvet cover is machine washable. We recommend washing with warm or cold water and tumble drying on low.Please do not apply any bleach and do not iron.

I would say yes. We don't wash ours but keep in duvet covers however; so if you've no issue with washing it it should be done. It's comparable IMHO to a light thin quilt.

I did not wash mine before putting in the duvet cover; I did put it in the dryer to fluff it out first- it came out very nice. The instructions say "machine washable" so I assume it would be fine to wash.

Yes the comforter is machine washable but since I not long ago received my comforter i have not washed it yet.

In theory, it is washable. I have a duvet cover (also 1200) on mine, so I cannot truly answer your question.

I think it would be fine. I have blankets so not really touching it so haven't washed it yet. It doesn't seem to cling on to dust as my other down comforter would while just changing it, etc. Basically what I mean is a lint roll could take off anything as its smooth (if you mean cat hair). As far as washing I think it would be fine, it not super thick or so large that it couldn't adequately be washed easily. It says on the tag machine washing instructions.

We had the down comforter dry cleaned because the last time I washed a down comforter it was ruined. Dry cleaning is worth the $$ as it lasts longer.

It must be dry cleaned. I do not like part because some dry cleaning chemicals always stays with the comforter and I have to breath in all night long. It will be ruined if washed.
