How to Wash a Comforter
November 6th, 2009 by Home Pro
How long have you had your comforter on your bed before you thought to wash it? Probably too long! It doesn’t have to be hard; just keep in mind the following tips:
- If you have a large and thick comforter, don’t try to clean it at home. Use a large capacity dryer at the laundry mat of have it professionally dry cleaned.
- If you wash your comforter at home, use a detergent with a degreaser to remove hair and body oils.
- Wash your comforter once every few years so it won’t shrink. Washing it also gets rid of dust and mites.
- Wash your comforter in cold water to avoid shrinking.
- Dry out your comforter by putting it on a low temperature setting so it won’t shrink, hanging it outside or in a warm room to get it completely dry.
Of course before you attempt to wash any comforter, please read the care label to see if it is capable of being washed.
