JudoMom Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yes. If your washer and dryer are big enough, you should be able to machine wash & dry it. You have to really, really, really dry it though. I'd probably take it somewhere. Hope the baby feels better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In The Great White North Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Our local dry cleaner won't do down. I wash it anyway. The laundromat will have larger washers and dryers, if it doesn't fit in yours. Be sure to use Borax with the laundry detergent to get rid of the smell and put clean tennis balls in the dryer with it. Dry it a whole cycle after you think it is dry. The down inside will clump together and it will feel dry, then start to smell in a week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara in Colo Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I can be dry cleaned, only its VERY expensive and few cleaners will do it.....it sucks up all the dry cleaning fluid and uses it all up. So...go to a laundry place and use the LARGEST washer they have and use tennis balls in the dryer. Good Luck!! Lara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabetika Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Thank you, everybody! I will see what I can find - I've never been to a laundromat here. It's worth a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I have washed and dried my feather pillows many times in a regular washer and down comforters in the large commercial washers and dryers at the laundrymats. Both have been fine. I also put a very padded mattress pad between my mattress topper and sheets so that it absorbs most things and then the topper needs washed less frequently.

Mom-ninja. Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'm surprised people have difficulty finding a dry cleaner to clean a down comforter. I took my king size one to a place I found from this site. I was expecting it to cost a lot but it was only $35. My comforter looks great now.

I took my king size one to a place I found from this site. I was expecting it to cost a lot but it was only $35. My comforter looks great now. I know I could find a dry cleaner to clean a comforter, and I have actually done our comforter in our machine at home many times. What I need cleaned is an actual feather bed, the kind that go on top of the mattress. It's much stiffer and bulkier than a comforter.

In The Great White North Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Well, this one says dry clean http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/42928?feat=506595-GN2 even though all their comforters says washable. I'm not sure why though. What's in them that isn't in a comforter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
