Laundry can be a challenge. A comforter’s filling can bunch up in a wash and dry cycle. Here are several tips on how to properly wash comforters.
Comforters come in a range of styles and material types, so it’s important to follow the care instructions before doing the laundry. However, some general guidelines can help you clean most standard comforters.
- Check your comforter for holes or loose threads before washing.
- Remove the duvet cover, because they should be removed and washed separately.
- Put the comforter into your washer carefully. Place it loosely around the wash tub and try to keep the load balanced.
- Use an extra rinse option. An extra rinse helps wash away the additional dirt.
- Dry on a low heat setting.
- Comforters may not dry completely in your dryer. After you remove your comforter, place it on a comforter rack for about 2 days for them to be completely dry.
How often should you wash a comforter?
Do you often put your comforters into the laundry box? Comforters don’t need to be washed as often as sheets, but you know that they should be kept clean, right? You should check the tag or your comforter’s care guidelines for more information.
If you want or need to wash your comforter frequently, you should use a duvet cover, which as mentioned before should be washed separately.
In case you want your comforter to be washed by professionals, do not hesitate to contact Hollywood Dry Cleaners.
