Best Answer

Virtually all sleeping bags are machine washable and dryable, but check the care label for the manufacturer's recommendations. If washable, use a warm water wash and a gentle cycle. When machine drying down, place a clean pair of tennis shoes in the dryer with the bag. The shoes help to fluff up the down as the bag tumbles. Down bags dry slowly and must be dried completely to prevent mildewing. For larger and heavier bags, use the large capacity machines found in coin- operated laundries. [Info from the Home Maintenance And Repair Database at the Michigan State University website] Yes I have done this many many times. It takes a long time before they are dry.

Tip. Make from a satin sheet an insert in the sleeping bag, keeps the sleeping bag clean and inserts are much easier to wash then the sleeping bag. Why satin sheet, because if you turn around in the sleeping bag, the satin will turn with you.
