A comforter can be washed at home much more easily than you think. The process is very easy just follow the simple steps. If you prefer to wash your down comforter at home, it can be done as well, only a few precautions need to be taken. 1. Read The Label On The Comforter Before you throw it in the washing machine, check the care label to see the manufacturer’s instructions on how to wash the comforter. When the label says “Dry clean only”, it is best to opt for Dry Cleaning Services from professionals to handle the delicate materials such as wool or silk that can be damaged if washed. You should follow any specific instructions on the label before you machine wash, such as washing in cold water or washing by hand. 2. Pre-Treat The Stains Identify any stains before washing. The filling should be moved away from the stained area and cleaned with diluted wool or a solution of baking soda and water. You should also inspect torn joints or loose threads and repair them to prevent further damage to the washer and dryer. 1/3
If you wash a white comforter, you can also use some bleach to refresh the color (if needed). 3. Use The Right Washing Machine Make sure the space of the washer is enough for the comforter so it can fit easily. Make sure the comforter has plenty of space. If there is not enough space available for a comforter, the filling may shrink and the object may not be completely clean. In case of a tight fit, choose a large commercial washer at your local laundromat. 4. Select The Appropriate Laundry Detergent And Washing Cycle Settings Use a mild or natural laundry detergent according to the instructions on the bottle. Choose a smoother wheel and rinse extra if possible. The label temperature setting on your comforter can be checked. 5. Dry Your Comforter In addition to washing your comforter, transfer it to the dryer and then hang it to Dry in Fresh Air. For large comforters, you may also need to use a commercial dryer at the laundromat. Also Read-How to Dry Clothes Quickly? 6. Remove The Comforter And Fluff Across The Drying Wheel Remove the comforter from the dryer once every half hour and fluff to redistribute the filling. Go back to the dryer and continue the cycle. This allows the comforter to dry evenly. How To Take Care Of Your Comforter? *Like pillow protectors, comforters and blankets should have an easily-cleanable cover so that allergy sufferers won’t develop dust and dirt allergies. This protects the fabric from Stains and spots created by oils spills *Covers are not required for decorative comforters that come in a variety of colors and styles, on the other hand. If you use a top sheet, you must clean the comforter coverings once a week, but you don’t have to wash the comforter unless you spill something on it. *To remove Moisture dry all comforters thoroughly — all must be machine-dried but check the label before doing so. *Store your comforter in a cool, dry place away from moisture and light. Breathable linen or canvas storage bag can be the best choice; Avoid Using Plastic because it restricts air movement. 2/3
*To reduce odors, Hang a comforter on a clothesline to dry, on the windy days every few months. *Since pillows and mattresses do not necessarily support weight, your comfort will last for 15 to 25 years if you cover it and air it regularly. Replace it when it starts to look flat and flat *While looking for a new comforter, evaluate your room temp before deciding on the size and fabric.. And look for double stitching or baffle texture, which prevents leakage and helps keep the filling from bunching or matting when washed. 3/3
