Now this may surprise some peeps on here who know MY outlook on all things houseyworky related BUT as the sleeping bags come under the heading of my beloved tin tent.....they get special dispensation coz I'd do anything for my tin tent.

Anyhoo, I always shove mine in that big metal drum thingy that seems to make things clean by some miracle all of it's own! It does have to be a large capacity jobby though.

My trouble starts when they're still damp coz they're too heavy for me and me decrepit body to manage so hubby has to be enlisted to do the carrying out and pegging out business. As already said by another poster though, the care instructions should be in them..... somewhere. So much cheaper than giving a dry cleaner yer dosh, especially in this credit crunch eh?

Only EIGHT more sleeps till Mevagissey. Whey hey

We changed to duvets instead because my king size sleeping bag wouldn't fit in my washing machine and I got sick of taking it to the launderette, and the teens have army ones with waterproof backs which are dry clean only.

But when we had cheap ones I always washed them in the machine with no problems.
