A feather duvet can be washed in your home washing machine, although it's not recommended. A professional cleaner will have a much easier time cleaning it for you. Duvet covers can be washed normally with your sheets.
No, I have never accidentally washed my passport in the washing machine.
The Fieldcrest Luxury duvet can be machine washed, but must be air dried.
I washed my clothes in a washing machine
Some duvets can be washed either by hand or in a washing machine (on the handwash or gentle cycle), while others are strictly dry clean. One of the reasons for this is that a dry clean only duvet can shrink if not cleaned properly and could also possibly snag in the washer/dryer, causing the duvet to tear.
Yes, Ultrasuede can be machine washed. It was designed to be able to stand up to machine washing with other clothes.
The washing machine capacity chart provides information on the maximum weight of laundry that can be washed in the machine. It helps users determine how much clothing or other items can be washed in a single load.
Yes, most sleeping bags can be safely washed in a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Be sure to check the care instructions on the sleeping bag before washing.
Yes, fleas can die in the washing machine when clothes are washed, as the high heat and agitation can kill them. It is recommended to wash clothes on a hot cycle to effectively eliminate fleas.
No, tents should not be washed in a washing machine as it can damage the fabric and waterproof coating. It is recommended to hand wash tents with mild soap and water, and then air dry them thoroughly before storing.
Yes, down duvets may be washed and shouldn't be dry-cleaned as the chemicals in the dry-cleaning fluids can damage down and shorten its life. Although some bedding manufacturers may suggest you can wash their down duvets in your machine at home this isn't a good idea as it is very difficult to achieve a good result. Down filled duvets aren't easy to dry properly, so can lose their loft (their wonderfully light, fluffy shape) if not dried slowly and thoroughly in a large capacity machine. If your down duvet is not completely dried, the down won't smell too good and can mildew. All in all, unless you have an extra-capacity washing machine, like those available at launderettes, it is better to have your down duvets commercially laundered. Technically yes you can, but the main obstacle you will face is the size of the drum on your washing machine. If you squeeze a Super King Duvet into your machine, when the water enters the drum, due to the lack of space the load can become uneven and ruin the motor. If you have a larger machine then it is of course possible and causes no damage to the down inside. The most important part of washing your duvet is the drying process. In order to prevent the clusters lumping together it is important to shake the duvet every 5 minutes during the drying process. 5 minutes in the drier, take the duvet out and shake it and then back into the drier. Repeat this process until the duvet is completely dry. Having just attempted this, I would add a step. Although my washing machine is big enough to handle my duvet, ballooning of the duvet itself stops the machine from getting it thoroughly washed. It took several minutes of trying to work the air out to get the duvet well and truly wet. In future, I would begin by placing the duvet in a garbage bag, and vacuuming the air out of it (think of those Decosonic food sealers.) It is impressive how much air a vacuum can suck out of one of these. Then put the duvet into the washer with as little fluffing as you can, to minimise the air you reintroduce.
