You can put it in a mesh laundry bag and it would probably do well.
Hand washing with a mild detergent is best, though.

I have washed 2Q's Hennessy in a front loader on gentle & hung to dry....it came out great. ZQ

Specializing in:
Hennessy Hammock zipper modifications
Sewn on Tarp doors, Pole Pockets, and Grizz Beaks
Ridgeline and gear organizers, peak storage bags, UQ protectors, 2QZQ tree table!
I'd take off the suspension, put in a mesh bag, and launder with a bit of soap. I haven't done that yet after 3-4 years tho, since I pack along a base layer and spare pair of clean socks to sleep in so the quilt and hammock stay clean.
Like Jeff says, I hand wash just the bottom layers of my BB in a bucket with some natural soap flakes
Now! that is some good info...
Sink The Stink Found in scuba shops hand wash and hang to dry, used for wet suits when they get funky!!
