Has anyone machine washed (& dried) these? Any tips? Dry cleaning is not going to work for us.

I did machine wash, at a professional laundry place. Extra large load. I also placed in the extra large dryer and dried until slightly damp. Do not over dry. Mine came out fine. Good luck....

Yes I have and it works well. I used Woolite, cold water, fast spin. Drying, I used low to medium heat for about 30 minutes. I then draped it over 3 chairs to dry more overnight. Then I put it back in dryer for about 15 minutes on low.

Joshua, the manufacturer strongly advises this collection to be dry cleaned to maintain the look and feel and your investment. If you have children or animals I would suggest using a top sheet or a soft blanket for them to lay on instead of your beautiful comforter. I dry clean my comforter twice a year and we sleep using a top sheet between us and the comforter and I have 4 little dogs that know they need to stay on the blanket across the bottom half of our bed. The comforter is 100% cotton with polyester fill and washing it could cause it to shrink and I would hate to have that happen. Just some suggestions and tips for you. Good luck.

I throw mine in the washer on delicate then let it air dry. It seems to be holding up fine. My dog sleeps on the bed so I was not going to dry clean it every few weeks!

Hello Joshua,I have not heard of anyone using a regular washer and dryer. I strongly suggest dry clean as to not ruin the comforter in anyway.Sincerely, Erika StarrDesigner LivingCustomer Service1-888-879-8790Info@designerliving.com

I just put mine in the washer and hung dry-avoided dryerI have only washed them twice, as I just bought them

I washed them on delicate cycle in cold water, using regular Tide detergent. Then I dried them on the air setting of the dryer, with no problems at all.

I have washed them in the top rack of the dishwasher. That seems to do a good enough job. I haven't tried the regular washing machine. Hope this helps.

I run mine through the washer on cold in a mesh bag, then let them air dry. Because of all the elastic, I'm wary of the dryer. Mine are holding up great with this treatment.

Just wash them. I believe you hang dry them. So far have kept them pretty clean.

I machine washed them in rockin green laundry soap and dried them normally. There is no real prep for these. I have stripped them once using the hot water in the washing machine.

Hi Elise, to be honest, I haven't tried yet, because I haven't used them much, I would suggest looking at the little directions on the package, but I am going to try a little liquid soap and warm water; I believe that will clean them properly. Hope that helps!

I shake and vacuumed them, that worked fine. Have not tried washing but I think it would work too.

they are plastic - so i would definitely NOT put them in a washing machine - to clean, you simply wipe them out with a damp cloth or paper towel!

You could try a little oxiclean or bleach in the washing machine. I don't think they will ever be as stain free as when they are new but at least they will be clean.

Mine were very absorbant after just one wash. What kind of detergent did you use? You don't use fabric softener in the dryer do you? I just use All Free & Clear and they worked great immediately.

I haven't tried but I probably wouldn't machine wash them. I feel like it would mess the fabric up and possibly the print.

You can put these in the washer to clean them. Do not place them in the dryer, only air dry.

I haven't gotten there yet! Have you asked wellnessmama? I'll bet she's done it...honestly, I'm not sure I'd wash them the first time through...will probably just pour some new over the old. But I keep them in the fridge before I use them, so they are less likely to get rancid. But if I were to clean them, I think hot (not boiling) water would be key.

I use warm water on a regular wash cycle. I don't machine dry them, seems like I saw somewhere not to, also not to use hot water, though that might be your first instinct. Most of the time they're completely dry in a couple hours when I hang them over a chair to dry, outside drying is great if your weather permits it.

Yes. We've machine washed ours a few times now since we've had ours with no problem.
