dry clean only comforter

Has anyone washed their "dry clean only" comforter at home on either the "dry clean" or "fresh" setting?

Re: dry clean only comforter

  • I tried to freshen mine up in the dryer on no heat and it still burnt it :( so I always take mine into the dry cleaner now.

  • I tried. It was too big for my washer/dryer, though, so it didn't work and I had to take it to a dry cleaner anyway.
  • I thought about trying this with ours and the only thing that prevented me from giving it a go was the size, because a King-sized comforter would never fit in our washing machine or dryer.

    I ended up taking it to a dry cleaner and it cost $30, which was surprisingly low to me.  I was expecting it to be at least $50.  I did it in the middle of summer so that we didn't miss the warmth. Smile

  • Even take my handmade quilts. They stay nicer cleaned rather than washed....on the other hand, I used some drapes to made a bedspread. They were the perfect color. They said dry clean only, but I did wash them before I cut and sewed them together for a bedspread. That way I can wash that bedspread at the cabin rather than spend the money to dry clean it and I know it won't shrink. 
  • I wash mine in the washer, then hang it up to dry.
