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

We have used ours multiple times since Christmas and have not noticed any problems. We do hand wash them, but I doubt we are doing anything different than you?!

Hi! Yes I have machine washed the whole set after my baby vomited all over it. I used woolite n presoaked followed by gentle cycle, and dryer with low heat. It is new as ever! We love it!

Agreed - hand wash and dry. I wouldn't use them frequently though, maybe just one more time.

I actually did put them in the washer and they were fine. Do NOT put them in the dryer. Or you make soak them in warm water with fabric detergent. Rinse well and Air dry.

I have washed them and they do fine in the washer. I just used light cycle. I also dried with no problem.

I have been using these back to back since late July, with several washes in between and that has never happen to me. I wash them with a hot cycle meant for heavy cotton and then rinse a second time. I have never used a dryer on them, that could be why yours are balling up. I just hang dry for a few hours.

Yes, they are machine washable and I've has good luck cleaning mine. The label says to air dry, however

I just put them in the washer and dryer. I have had no issues. I did wash them by themselves the first time just to make sure the color did not bleed.

Yes. You can machine wash them. But I don't recommend putting them in the dryer. The cleaning instructions says that they should be line dried.

I wash with towels, cold water and bleach. I use dryer balls or dryer sheets. They are holding up really well.

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.

I haven't run them through the washing machine, but I did hand wash them in a diluted bleach solution. It worked just fine, and the stink went away. My mom actually has a pair. She hangs them from clothes pins to keep them open, and they seem to get less stinky.

I put mine in the dryer the last time I washed them. They don't seem to stay put on the floor as well.

I never thought about washing them in a machine. When they get wet inside (my being careless) I just turn them inside out and wipe them down which kinda cleans them.

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.
