I bought 2 comforters that have linen covers. The interior is polyester but there are only a couple of 'tacks' holding the whole thing together. I'm afraid if I put it in the washer & dryer the batting is going to fall apart and bunch up.
Any suggestions other than dry cleaning on how I can wash these? If I try them in the wash would the 'bulky' or the 'gentle' be the better cycle? I can also slow down the spin and add less water. Lots of combos on how the washer will set up. But, if I get it wrong I'm out a lot of money or I have bunchy comforters on the beds!
I have washed the shams so I know the fabric can go thru the wash.
(This is why I rarely buy anything but quilts or matelasse.)
