It will ruin it. I did the same thing and I was so mad I couldnt wash it.. Call around to different dry cleaners and get prices.. also, dont dry clean in the spring.. it is more $$ (spring cleaning) and the best time is in the fall. @ times a year is good. Maybe put it in the dryer on "fluff cycle" or "air cycle" with a bounce sheet when it needs to be "fluffed".. also, the Fabreeze helps in between dry cleanings.

I have had the same problem.. I purchased a comforter recently and its dry clean only..If you washed it yourself the filling will all clump together and you will have a large lump of stuffing in the middle of your comforter and it will no longer be flat.. I tried it before and will never again. Hope that helps.. I know dry cleaning is a hassle and costly but trust me its well worth the trouble. Just phone around and get the lowest prices. Have a blessed day.

cannot see why anything needs to be dry cleaned... all those harmful chemicals! try handwashing (what we all did before dry-cleaning became available) in warm (not hot) water with some mild detergent in it....ie sodium bicarb or baby shampoo. Gently wring dry or spin in washing machine and then hang up to dry in the sun. I have actually placed my comferter in the washing machine on the delicates or hand-washing cycle without any problems whatsoever. I do think that some manufacturers say you have to dry-clean because it seems to be the 'safest' way - however, if you dont want to be poisened by dry cleaning fall-out, i'd try something else.

There is a product called dryell, it works wonders on comforters as they usually dont get really dirty and only need a good freshening up DON'T wash it it will ruin it !!! 100% cotton will shrink and get crunchy feeling. when it really needs to be cleaned don't be cheap get it dry cleaned or buy a new one.

The same thing that happens when you remove the tags from your new mattress. Seriously it will mat up (get lumpy) and could come apart at the seams.

it could damage the outside but the harshness of the washer and dyer will more than likely mess up the stuffing in it and make it clump all together
