    Today was going to be the day I washed my oodie. But no. Today is for wearing oodies. Also - can you get away with tumble drying a (cheap rip-off) oodie? I’m not worried so much about losing fluffyness, more that I will set the laundromat on fire from the hot synthetic fabric…

      I nearly broke my washing machine trying to wash the oddie in it.

      When it’s soaked with water it’s so unbelievably heavy that it unbalanced my washing machine which is a top loader.

        My Front loader has managed it before I think - I usually give it two spins too to get the extra water out of it

          I don’t have an oldie, but I do have a very very thick puffer jacket. The tag says delicate wash, but the washing machine does a spin speed of 800 for delicate vs 1600 regularly which leaves it dripping water. Unfortunately the washing machine also doesn’t have an option for just a spin, only rinse and spin, so I usually do a delicate wash then a 1600 rinse and spin afterwards and dry in front of the heater

      I reckon you could do it. Laundromat dryers are a little more robust than your home variety.

      You could semi dry it at home and finish it off at the laundromat if you’re worried.

      I half dry my oodie in the dryer and half on a drying rack. Takes ages for the cuffs to dry.

      I’d say look for a warm or gentle setting on the dryer, and check it every 30 mins or so. Synthetic dries quickly.
