The Right Way to Wash a Comforter at Home for Lasting Freshness

1. THE RIGHT WAY TO WASH A COMFORTER AT HOME FOR LASTING FRESHNESS

2. There’s nothing better than climbing into bed with a fresh comforter. However, comforters eventually pick up dust and sweat quite easily. It may seem like a lot of work to wash them. This is particularly if you are worried about damaging the stuffing or fabric. The best part is that It’s not necessary to always take it to the dry cleaners and you can maintain your comforter clean and comfortable at home with a few simple actions. This is the way to accomplish it.

3. START WITH THE LABEL Before doing anything else, take a minute to read the care label on your comforter. It gives you all the information you need about how the comforter should be washed. Some comforters are machine-washable, while others need a more gentle approach. A few might even say dry clean only. PREP BEFORE WASHING Comforters are usually too big to throw in the machine without checking them first. Look over the surface for any stains or problem spots and always use a gentle stain remover on areas that look extra dirty and let it sit for about ten to fifteen minutes. Also, check for loose threads or small tears. These can get worse during the wash. Doing a quick fix before you clean helps your comforter blanket last longer and keeps the fill from bunching up or spilling out.

4. PICK THE RIGHT WASHER SETTINGS A large bed comforter needs space to move in the machine. If it is packed in too tightly, it will not get fully clean. A front-loading washer works best for this. If you are using a top-loading washer, make sure it does not have a center agitator since that part can pull and tear the fabric or filling. Always stick to warm or cold water and a gentle cycle. This is important because hot water often seem like a smart choice to kill germs. However, it can cause damage over time and choose a mild detergent that does not include bleach or strong chemicals. DRYING MATTERS TOO Getting your comforter dry the right way is just as important as washing it and if it stays damp in the middle, it can grow mildew or get musty. Use a dryer with low heat. Add a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help keep the fill from clumping together. Every half hour, pause the dryer and check the comforter blanket. Shake it slightly to allow all the parts to dry. This would need several hours, but it’s worth it to prevent a musty smell or uneven filling.

5. SIGNS IT’S TIME TO WASH YOUR COMFORTER Comforters don’t need to be washed every week. If you use a duvet cover, washing it every two to three months is usually enough. For all the uncovered comforters, washing once a month is a good rule of thumb. This is especially if you have pets or allergies. Just keep in mind that overwashing can wear out the fabric and damage the filling TIPS TO KEEP YOUR COMFORTER FRESH • You don’t have to wait for laundry day to keep your comforter clean. Try these easy tips to help it stay fresh and cozy: • Use a cover: A duvet cover protects your comforter and is much easier to wash. • Air it out: Hang it outside every few weeks to freshen it up and get rid of odors. • Clean spills fast: Spot clean stains right away so they don’t set in. • Store it right: When not in use, fold your comforter and keep it in a cotton bag.
