Can you wash a Down Comforter and Down Pillows?
 

In a top load washing machine? I've read online that you should use an industrial front load but I have a rather large top load.

Has anyone done this before? They're not $3000 Egyptian sheets but I wouldn't want to damage them.

Any advice?

na dude, i wouldnt go that route

No
don't do it .... i made the mistake and tried a pillow once lol

take it to the cleaners man
25 bux and they will get it like new :)

No don't do it. I did it and it fucked them up.

Good stuff! I'm glad that I came here for advice before just taking the plunge and doing it.

To the cleaners it is. :thumbsup

If you buy a top load Maytag Neptune TL you can since it doesn't have an agitator. Just got me one yesterday: http://www.universal-akb.com/manewafa.html

Have them dry cleaned. Now I know this wil stop you from purchasing the 3k sheets, but...

I wash them in my front load washer, but I have never tried in a top load.

When you dry them, stick a tennis ball in with them (clean!) and it will help plump the feathers back up :)

dry clean them

Tired it before and all the feathers ended up in one end of the comforter. Totally fucked it up.

Dude dry clean them. Its the best way. I don't even like using a front loader because they can still clump.

Bad Idea!
