What are the instructions for washing/drying? I really don't like using cold water on bedding.

I didn't see or read any washing instructions (not that I ever read washing instructions) but I washed it in hot water with bleach and it seemed pretty ok to me when I put it back on the bed.

I have been using cold water for all my laundry. Of course, you should use a suitable cold water detergent. "Woolite" has one and there are others. At first the matter was taken out of my hands by a landlady who used cold water all the time. Since I was using her washer I felt I should do the same. I find that cold water washing is fine. Also, you have less danger of some stains setting and the shrinkage of other items. If you have stains you can get a stain remover. I have found the "Oxy-Clean" stain stick which emits a kind of gel to be the best of all. Hope this helps!

yes, no problem with machine washing and drying. I always use cold water. We have the old fashion linoleum tiles on our kitchen floor and the rugs don't seem to want to stay in position when layed.

Yes, I wash it in my home machine alone or with pillowcases and nothing else, on the gentle cycle. I use Ivory flakes which I dissolve first in hot water and then put in gently. Do not use bleach or any other water conditioner or fabric conditioning product. Handle the sheet gently when putting it in the dryer or taking it out. Dry it gently on low, and don't use any dryer sheets, or air dry for a few hours, preferably not outside. Never allow grease or oil to get on the sheets. Don't let cats, dogs, or any animals with claws on the sheet. Don't fold it up for storing in a linen closet, and don't spray any scents on it. Enjoy!

I think you have to take to the dry cleaner. I have a cover for feather bed that can be washed with regular laundry.

WASHABLE/NATURAL LINE PRODUCT CARE:1st choice: Machine wash in cold water on gentle cycle and machine dry on air cycle, no heat. 2nd choice: Washable cover is highly recommended. 3rd choice: Regular sunning and airing. The sun will naturally revitalize and disinfect wool bedding. 4th choice: Spot clean with soft brush and mild detergent. Allow the product to air dry completely. 5th choice: Eco Friendly Dry Cleaning

I usually just throw them in with my towels/sheets - in hot water & dry in the dryer. Hope this helps.

I just wash in cold water. They do fine. I put in dryer for just a little bit.

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)

I have washed it twice. No shrinkage...BUT...I used cold water and low temp setting on dryer. Just so you know!

I wash in cold water with a mild detergent and hang dry. I wouldn't put this garment in the dryer.

I wash mine in cold water and hang over the shower door to dry. It dries super fast.

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 did wash mine on cold. Dried on low. You could also hang it up to dry on a rack.

Machine wash (I've done cold and warm, both fine) and either let it air dry flat or I often put it in the dryer for 5 minutes then let it air dry

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.

Can not recall manufacturer's instructions. However I wash mines in warm water...casual cycle and medium dry.

I washed and dried mine according to instructions. Within two years it was no longer waterproof and was allowing liquid through and onto the mattress. I will never buy the product again but if I did I would do what others have suggested and by a pad to go on top and only wash this when you absolutely have to.
