Ensure the blanket or comforter is completely dry before storing it to prevent mildew. Store in a breathable cotton bag rather than plastic to maintain freshness.
Variations:
For feather or down comforters, check the care label—some may require professional cleaning.
Use a commercial laundromat with larger machines if hand washing is not feasible.
Dry cleaning is an option for delicate or specialty fabrics.
FAQ:
Can I use a washing machine if my blanket only barely doesn’t fit?
It’s safer not to force it in, as it can damage your machine and the blanket.
How often should I wash my comforter?
Typically, every 3-6 months unless stained.
Can I use a dryer for drying?
If your dryer is large enough, use a low heat setting and toss in dryer balls or clean tennis balls to keep the filling fluffy.
