How to Wash a Down Comforter


Few things are as comforting on a cold winter night as a down  comforter. Soft and fluffy, down comforters are like a big hug after a  long day. If properly cared for, a high-quality down comforter can last  for many years. So, what is the proper way to care for down?  Surprisingly, down comforters actually require very little day-to-day  care, aside from a little fluffing.

Down comforters should be  fluffed frequently, preferably every day. They should also be covered  with a duvet to protect from spills. If adequately protected, they do  not require frequent cleaning. In fact, many down comforter  manufacturers recommend that down comforters only be cleaned every few  years, though they should be aired out occasionally.

While down can be dry-cleaned, the results are better if it is  instead cleaned with specially designed solutions. If, however, you  prefer to do it yourself, you will need to use an oversized  front-loading commercial grade machine. If needed, you can use  non-chlorine bleach. Do not use your home machine. It is not designed  for cleaning large down comforters. Using it could lead to damaging your  comforter-or your machine. READ MORE..
