This depends greatly on the type of comforter you have purchased. I have personally owned down comforters that have been both machine washable and professional clean only. The key is to have a washer that is large enough to properly clean your comforter. Unless the tag specifically notes that the comforter can be put in the dryer, it is best to line dry a down comforter to maintain it fluff. Many comforters also have individually sewn panels, which can shrink disproportionately in the dryer and warp the shape of your comforter.
What else can I help you with?
Do you really have to take comforters to a cleaners, or can you just throw it in the washer?
Due to the size of a comforter, washing it in a normal home washer can be difficult. Squeesing the comforter into a tight space caan damage the "fluff". Frequest washing can also shrink a comforter. Still, Comforters can be washed in a machine. Laundromat washers tend to work well because they can hold a larger load and give the comforter space the breathe. Cold water is best for washing and little detergent should be used. In the case of a Down Comforter, extra caution should be taken and only use products specific for Down Comforters.
Washer Dryer Combo?
At last. A 2 in 1 washer and dryer combined. The washer turns into a dryer! No need to transfer clothes from washer to dryer. GE claims to complete a full cycle in 2 hours. There is no need to vent the dryer. The moisture from the clothes goes down the drain instead of an exhaust hose. A 2 in 1 washer/dryer is not new technology. The idea has been around for years but never sold. It wasn’t practical to own one. They didn’t wash or dry very well and a load would take 5 or more hours. These units were popular in Europe because space was very important. This is the first “practical“ 2 in 1 combo that really works well GE claims.
I'm thinking about getting a down comforter. How do I go about cleaning them Are there any available that can be put in the washing machine?
I think you can put any down comforter brand in the washing machine. With mine I used Woolite in the wash and then use dryer balls in the dryer. Usually I lay it out the whole day after cleaning it so it can dry thoroughly. The easiest approach is to get a nice cover for the comforter. You'll be able to wash the cover much easier than the entire comforter.

How to Care for a Down Comforter?
A down comforter looks soft and inviting and is a luxurious addition to any bedding. But down comforters also require special maintenance to keep them looking clean, new and soft. The upkeep isn’t hard, but it is important. Here are some of the things needed to keep your comforter looking new. Always keep a cover on your comforter. This protects it from dirt, debris and body oils. This also allows you to wash the cover without washing the actual comforter. Down comforters cannot be washed in a regular washer and dryer, so keeping it covered is vital. It is not recommended to wash your comforter yourself. You should fluff up your comforter each day, and air it out occasionally. To air it out, simply hang it on a clothes line on a sunny day, or shake it out while outside. This keeps the comforter looking and smelling fresh. If you do this on a regular basis, it should maintain its fluffiness. Because the comforter can’t be washed regularly, you will want to have it dry cleaned every few years. Having it cleaned every three to five years or so should be sufficient. This will keep it clean but also minimize the amount of chemicals and cleaners used on your comforter. Frequent washing can damage the comforter, and it also causes the comforter to shrink slightly. To keep the comforter fluffy, it’s best to keep from sitting or lying on top of it. The down, when repeatedly crushed can get worn down and break, which means your comforter will no longer be fluffy. Use the comforter only as a top layer and not something to lie on. Should you ever need to store your comforter, place it in a well-ventilated and dry area. This helps prevent mildew. You should also bring the blanket out of storage now and again to air it out and ensure that it is dry and safe. A down comforter is a great cover for any bed. They are warm and comforting as well as luxurious. As long as you care for the comforter and keep it clean, you should be able to enjoy your comforter for many years.
