I took it to the laundromat & put it in a BIG washer w/soap & fabric softener (vinegar) just like any other load.

Then I run it thru the BIG dryer for 45 mins, then brought it home & finished it off.

Good as if I'd taken it to be cleaned.

great advice. did you say you used vinegar for fabric softener? what kind? Anyways, I need to do this, usually we do it at home but they get lumpy and since we have a newer one, I'd like to keep it in good shape without it costing a fortune. usually I just use the duvet cover and then wash that. ???

Anyways, great tip.

The cleaners can be so expensive! So it's good you were able to wash it yourself.

I'd like to try this, but I'm not sure what &amp is? You just wash it w/ detergent and a little vinegar? If anyone has any tips, I'd be glad to take suggestions
