Washing a comforter is a bit of work, and in truth, because if it is covered by a duvet, you don’t need to wash it as often as your sheets or the comforter cover. It does, however, need to be washed periodically. Some experts recommend two to three times a year, especially if you have allergies.
Comforters can host dust mites and cause sleep disruption with congestion and cold like symptoms. Others, like Home Depot, recommend washing only every three to five years if using a good duvet. Whether you wash your comforter regularly, or occasionally, the steps are pretty straightforward. It will only vary slightly depending on material; it is made from down, down alternative, wool, cotton, silk or bamboo. The size of the comforter and allergies can also play a role.
Washing your comforter can seem like a lot of work, but it is really a matter of following a few simple steps. Take it to the cleaners if the instructions say dry clean only, take it to the laundromat or wash it in the tub if it is too big for your machine. Otherwise, follow the above steps and plan to be around, so you can take it out and fluff it while drying. Cleaning your bedroom and having a clean fresh comforter is a great way to enhance your sleep experience.
