Can you wash and dry feather pillows??


Question:

Answers:
Yes, feather and down pillows can be cleaned in your machine, but make sure there are no slits or tears in the covers and that the ticking is secure. For balance, load two pillows at a time and use only a small amount of detergent. Set the machine on the delicate cycle and give the pillows a second rinse. For drying, place them in the dryer with several clean tennis shoes, which will aid in the fluffing process. It's also a good idea to take them out periodically and fluff by hand; use your fingers to break up any clumps. Pillows will take longer to dry than a normal load of clothes. If they have a musty smell, set them in the sun for a couple of hours.


I've done it often. Hint: when drying them put tennis shoes in to fluff the feathers. Sweet dreams.
better done by a dry cleaner than you trying it yourself
Use the gentle cycle to wash, then dry them with a sneaker in the dryer (to prevent clumping).
Don't do that!
yes, just make sure there are no tears at the seams first, then use gentle cycle and dry them with either a tennis ball or a tennis shoe to fluff them or else all the feathers will dry stuck together in a lump
