Snuggle up under a clean comforter with these laundering tips from the Soap and Detergent Association:
– Check the care instructions for any special requirements for the comforter.
– Pretreat heavily soiled areas with a prewash soil and stain remover.
– Set the clothes washer to a high water level, delicate agitation and normal spin. Add detergent, fill the washer partway with warm water and then stop the washer.
– Put the comforter into the washer and squish it down to submerge it.
– Turn the washer back on, continue filling with water and complete the wash cycle. Check occasionally to be sure the comforter is still submerged.
– Tumble dry. Toss a few dry, clean towels into the dryer along with the comforter to prevent clumping. Rearrange the comforter periodically so it dries evenly.
– Launder monthly or more often if someone is severely allergic to dust mites.
