Can I put my comforter in the washing machine?

Can I put wash my comforter in my regular washing machine at home or do I need a special washing machine to wash the comforter?

As long as you don't place anything else in the washing machine with the comforter then the comforter should be just fine as long as your washing machine is roomy enough.

It's best to use a front load washing machine to wash a comforter in without the agitator because the comforter could get tangled in the agitator and the agitator takes up some room in the washing machine drum.

If your washing machine is a top loader with the agitator then make sure to spread the comforter out in the washing machine and not let the comforter wrap around the agitator.

If your washing machine is not large enough then I would just use a washing machine at a laundry mat so as not to damage the comforter.
