The female creature was nicknamed Lucky by staff who have been caring for her at the Brent Lodge wildlife hospital, near Chichester, in West Sussex.
Hospital manager Penny Cooper said the hedgehog wandered into a private home and burrowed into a pile of washing that was then put into the machine.
"This lady came in and said, 'I've got a hedgehog that's just been through an eco cycle in my washing machine'.
"She didn't seem disorientated, she was fine, and very clean with no parasites or anything of that nature on her."
