When washed in the super-sized washing machines at the laundromat, it fits fine. Even though it fits and when washed in cold water and air dried - my comforters still get disfigured (stuffing in one section and empty in another). I am trying to prevent this :)

Is it possible to dry clean a comforter that had laundry detergent spilled on it? I have a comforter that's supposed to be dry clean only. When transporting it and my other laundry in my trunk, I spilled about a 1/4 of a bottle of laundry detergent onto the comforter.
