could I wash a "dry clean" only duvet cover…?

I have a red duvet cover that is 65% cotton & 35% polyester with the reverse side being full 100% cotton…

I’m wondering if anyone has experience in this area – do you think I would be able to wash something like that? I have a front loading washer, so it would be gentle on it, and I only wash my colours in brights, as well as use the lowest heat setting on my dryer…would this work or is this asking for trouble? I really don’t have the money to dryclean, so I’m looking for a solution other than just airing it out.

Thanks in advance for all helpful answers!

I would try washing your duvet on hand wash or the gentlest cycle and letting it air dry. If you have a clothesline, then that might be the best, but if you don’t then there are wooden drying racks that may be purchased that can help. Outside of that I would also consider using dryel.

If all else fails, and you don’t want to risk ruining the duvet, then I would take it to the dry cleaners.

    TRY HAND WASHING IT…USE GENTLE DETERGENT POWDER AND DIP IT FOR 5 MINUTES …DON’T USE THE MACHINE WASH TO AVOID ANY LOSS.
