If it is a "dry clean only" comforter your best bet, and option, is to use Dryel. I used this numerous amounts of time on my sweaters and other fabric.

I wash all my comforters all the time, its not so much the washing you have to watch out for as the drying. Some, depending on what exactly their made of, even if you're sure its 100% can often melt in the dryer. I haven't had this problem, but my sister had a less than quality one that melted in the dryer, so I would recommend clothes lining it instead of the dryer unless you're absolutely positive that its 100% cotton, then just keep an eye on it and don't let it get too hot. Works great on all mine.

If it says dry sparkling in worry-free words it received't be washed interior the bathing device yet there are 2 concepts you could wash it a million. you could purchase a dry cleansing kit interior the laundry detergent aisle of the food market. 2. Make your man or woman dry cleansing kit! you should first use a lent brush on your comforter then use a terry fabric towel and gently wipe all spots on the comforter with a million cup of warm temperature water and tablespoon of baking soda, once you've your spots wiped. Spray the whole ingredient with Auqa information superhighway hair spray. Now you should positioned the comforter interior the dryer for an complete cycle. afterwords, Spray the comforter gently with a fabric freshener. This freshens the fabric and receives rid of any odors that it ought to have picked up.

Twice a year I take all our comforters/blanket to the laundromat. I use the front-loading (no agitator) machines. If it's dry clean only, use the Dryel with that one.
Well worth the trouble and cost. Runs about $5-6 per comforter versus $15 per item at the dry cleaners....

I too... buy without reading the darn label...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I end up washing everything in the machine and have only ruined 2 things over 25 years. Not bad averages there.
Why not call the dry cleaners and ask the price of the cleaning first... if its only like $10 then have them do it... or go ahead and take the chance and learn as you go like I do. : )

I always wash my dry clean stuff
But, it's up to you, maybe you could do the gentle cycle and then not put it in the dryer...but to be 100% safe take it to the drycleaners...or you could get Dryel (the dry clean at home stuff)

It might or might not work. If you do choose to do it, use woolite in the hand wash cycle. Other then that, I'd suggest a duvet cover that you can remove from the comforter and throw in the wash.
