I know its hard to believe, but its nearly time to get out your winter bedding! Pack away those light linens and get ready to cozy up!
When caring for a down comforter, you need to know how to properly care for it.
Here are instructions from ehow.com
- Place a cover over your down comforter to protect it from dust, dirt and body oils.
- Shake out your comforter weekly to prevent the down from bunching up.
- Air out your comforter occasionally to keep it fresh. Hang it on a clothesline or shake it out a window.
- Take your comforter to a dry cleaner every three to five years if you decide not to launder it at home.
- Use a Laundromat with oversized washing machines if you have an oversized comforter, should you decide to machine-wash it.
- Spot-treat any stains before you wash.
- Wash your comforter in cold water using a detergent that has a degreaser so that oils are removed.
- Very gently squeeze out any excess water from the comforter.
- Dry the comforter in the dryer on low heat setting with a tennis ball so that the fill moves as it dries.
- Store the comforter in a dry and well-ventilated closet or room when you are not using it, in order to avoid mildew.
