They recommend dry-cleaning only, has anyone machine washed with good or bad results ? Dry-cleaning becomes very expensive especially with white. T.Y.

I have these shams and also the coverlet, wash them on delicate with good detergent (ie Woolite or Persil) in a front loader and tumble dry low-- they wash great. I agree, dry cleaning can get very expensive! I also turn them inside out just avoid pulls/tears but they do fine either way . Good luck!

I haven't tried washing yet. But they don't seem like they would last well for day to day use. I am just using for special occasion.

I have one and I am not a big fan of dry cleaning down. The chemicals are not good for the feathers. I have a large capacity front load washer that I used with a mild detergent and it came out beautiful. I would not use the sanitize setting on the washer. I also dried it at home on a gentle setting. Next time I will have it professionally laundered, ensuring a mild detergent is used. The feathers get brittle a break from dry cleaning. These comforters last for years if taken care of properly. Just think of the detergent used to clean ducks and shore birds after an oil spill ;-)

I washed it in the washer and put it in the dryer on permanent press setting. No problems at all. It cleans up great!

Sounds like a question for the manufacturer. I certainly wouldn't machine wash or dry them. We have an Oreck Steam-It for our floors. I use it on the mats. If you steam them like this, they will be damp all the way through, so I lay them across our wood laundry rack until dry.

I have taken mine to the dry cleaners a couple of times. I just tell them to clean it like a fur coat and to please brush it out. Now I did have one dry cleaners ruin one so it could go either way. The price ranges as well. I've paid 30 to 75 dollars. I'd like to just machine wash it but I'm scared of ruining it. I love this duvet !

No dry cleaning. You can wash it at home and the color stay, but not the size.

I wash them in the machine, under "sterilization." It works well. I do NOT dry them. I let them air-dry.

I've washed them at warm (washing machine setting) and cold rinse... but have also hand soaked/washed them in hot water... I've air dried and thrown them in the dryer on 'permanent pressed' setting... under any of these conditions, they have fairer very well.

We washed ours on gentle cycle but didn't dry them in the dryer. Just let them air dry. They didn't shrink on us :) we have the white covers so some stains remained but definitely look better!!

I washed mine. Machine wash on the delicate cycle and hang dry. Came out fine.

Yep -- stuck it in the washer then air dried just a few days ago. Or I sometimes take a kitchen brush to it if it's not too dirty. Works great!

I have not washed in machine. Wouldn't re that as supports will be weakened. Just hand wash. Easy.

You should only spot clean with a mild detergent and dry flat when necessary. I don't think the perimeter stitching around the mouse pad would hold up to a machine washing.

I have used the white one on dry mode, never tried the thicker grey one, used that one only on the wet mop cycle. I made up a weak solution of water/Murphy's oil soap and it does a great job. I have a Rumba that sweeps first, then i run the Mint, with the wet thick grey cloth.

I soak mine in a bucket of soapy water overnight, rinse and air dry. They've lasted for 4 years and look fine. I would not machine wash them with ANY other garment--the dye runs like crazy.

I wash mine on the "hand wash" setting of my machine but if you don't have that I would wash on "delicate". I line dry mine - you would be surprised how fast they dry! Maybe 2 or 3 hours?? Hope that helps!

I haven't washed it in a machine; however I would suggest using an antibacterial spray and let it air dry.
