Any way to wash a down comforter without dry cleaning?
Check the care tag. If it can be washed/dried, and it's too big for your washing machine/dryer, wash it at a laundromat since those typically have bigger machines. If it says dry clean only, you might be OK using those dry clean alternatives like Dryel. More on reddit.com

Matouk makes nice stuff. But if you are using a duvet cover, and you very much should be if you have an expensive down comforter, you really shouldn’t need to wash the comforter/duvet insert very often at all

What is a down comforter?
A down comforter is a comforter filled with the undercoat feathers of a goose or duck for a cozy night’s sleep. The fluffy filaments are lightweight and trap heat to keep you warm when the temperature dips. It’s also breathable which allows moisture to escape. Down alternative fill offers a synthetic, animal-friendly option that has similar benefits to traditional down feathers.

Can down comforters be machine washed?
Most down comforters are typically machine washable and to be sure, always refer to the care tag for washing instructions. Washing machines with the capacity of at least 5.0 cu. ft. are generally equipped to handle larger loads, which is ideal for cleaning most types of comforters. Your down comforter should have plenty of room in the washing machine for the agitate and spin cycles, which helps give it a more thorough cleaning.

r/Frugal on Reddit: You can wash a goose down comforter (how I saved $65)
November 16, 2018 -

You can wash a goose down comforter. We inherited one from family members which was top of the line...in 1981. Appeared to be in good condition other than some surface dust from storage.

Took it to a local cleaner who expressed reluctance to clean it. He'd clean it for $65 with a release of liability. Decided against spending the money. Researched how to clean it myself instead.

Use a large capacity washer. If you don't have one, take it to a laundromat and use a washer large enough to cover the comforter with water. Use cold water and a small amount of mild liquid detergent. Set the washer to the gentle/delicate cycle. You can dry it in the dryer with no heat. It will take a few to several cycles. Make sure to take it out of the dryer between cycles and adjust it and make sure it's not winding on itself. Alternatively, you can air dry it.

This 38-year-old goose down comforter is good as new now! And, I saved $65. :) I plan to invest in a good duvet cover to protect it, too.

October 20, 2025 - It is warm enough for winter but breathable enough to use in summer on cooler nights. You can machine-wash this comforter, on a delicate cycle, but it needs to air-dry. I spread out the tester over an ironing board and left it for a couple of days, and it dried completely with no wet animal smell (which can happen with wool or down if damp).
