Hiya

Can anyone advise on the best way to wash sleeping bags?

Thanks

We find the launderette is the best option. Large machine takes two bags at the same time

We did our large duvet in the bath. It's a 2 person job, and you need to wait for a good drying day, (could be a long wait) but it does the job.

We put ours, one at a time in out washer at home. Its a bit of a squeeze but at least its gets to put some nice clean water through the filling and follow it up with a nice fabric conditioner to make it smell nice. A 1600 rpm spin at the end gets most of the water out. We do have a separate tumble drier set on cool which gets it virtually dry afterwards and has enough room for the tumbling action to take place. After, we just lay the whole thing out on a bed in a spare room so that it can dry and air completely for a few days. We used to go to a laundrette but have been using the home facilities for years - and its a lot cheaper.
