I have a duvet which I want to clean.
It has seveeal marks onit. I have used it without a cover which is why it has got marked.
i am thinking of washing it in the washing machine on it s own and letting it dry overnight.
I don't want to take it to be dry cleaned or scrap it and buy a new one.
Any advice much appreciated.

You have 2choices either take it to a launderette and have it washed and dried or take it to the tip and then buy a new one
It won't get washed probably in a normal washer if it's
a thick duvet and will take days to dry

It actually would be cheaper to buy a new one from asda or a super market of your choice

Mine is two duvets that clip together with poppers for winter, a 4.5 tog (summer) and a 9.0 tog (spring/autumn) and they are a cotton outer filled with duck down.
I take them to the launderette because a normal washing machine is not big enough for either on their own. Each costs about £9 to clean but that is way cheaper than a new down filled one.
However, Saundra is right. Fibre duvets from supermarkets, B&M, Home Bargains etc are as cheap as chips.

Agreeing with the comments so far - if it’s feather get it professionally cleaned, if it’s just fibre then they really are very cheap to buy in the supermarkets.

It's easier to wash a duvet cover than a duvet ally

That's a given.

I get our duvets laundered, I would never be able to dry it, plus I think the washing machine would not cope with weight of a wet winter duvet.
Also I agree with Saundra- buy a duvet cover!
