I have a hand-washable cycle on my washer (a front loader) which is very gentle. If you have that, you could try it with a mild detergent. Unless it is falling apart or the fabrice disintegrating, that should work.

The pulling back and forth of the center arm can tear the fabric. Especially if it’s a hand made one with real thread and not polyester thread as modern comforters are made with.
