I took mine to the laundry mat because it is too big for my home machine-plus I had 2 more to wash and I could put all of them in the large front loader machine at the same time. I gave them “a quarter” dry to fluff them and brought them home to hang on the line to dry......yes, I still have a clothes line..................not very common in my area any more....I use it all the time (to the envy of my neighbor). :-)
