Can you wash a feather pillow?

Question

Can you wash a feather pillow?

Answer 1

Should not wash a feather pillow.  This is what I did.  My daughter had a feather pillow that about 20 years old.  Real yucky when I opened it up.  We wanted to keep the cover, so I opened up the seam, when to Anna's Linens (any linen store will work), open the new pillow and put the new feathers in side.  You can try and wash it, but when it comes to drying it, put it in a dryer using only "air", NO heat.  

Answer 2

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! it'll fall apart and you'll be spending the next month taking feathers out of your washing machine, dryer, and clothes. In my case I had to replace my washer/dryer set!!!

Answer 3

"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."

Answer 4

No, you can't wash it but maybe you can get it dry cleaned.

Answer 5

Yes

We wash them all the time

Just keep drying till they don't have a wet animal smell then it is dry.
