Ever notice that your comforter feels a little... not-so-fresh? Even though it doesn’t touch your skin like sheets, it still collects dust, allergens, and odors over time. A clean comforter means better sleep and a healthier home—let’s make sure yours stays fresh all season long without the hassle.
How Often Should You Wash Your Comforter?
You don’t need to wash your comforter as often as your sheets, but regular washing is still important. We recommend a good cleaning at the start of each season to keep it fresh year-round. Here’s a simple guide:
Every 2-3 months: This helps keep dust mites, allergens, and bacteria away.
More often if needed: If you have pets or allergies, try to clean it more often to stay comfortable and healthy.
Comforter Care Dos and Don’ts:
Check the Care Label: Comforters are made of different materials, so always check the care instructions before washing to avoid damage.
Use a Large Washer: Comforters need plenty of space to get properly cleaned. If your washer at home isn’t big enough, bringing it to a laundromat or using a professional service can make it easier and ensure a good clean.
Use Gentle Detergent: Strong detergents can ruin comforters, especially down or feather-filled ones. Use a gentle, fragrance-free detergent to keep it in good shape.
Dry Fully: Comforters can take a long time to dry, especially thick ones. Use low heat and make sure they’re completely dry to prevent mildew.
Spot-Clean Stains: For small stains, spot-cleaning can help keep your comforter fresh longer. Pet stains, for example, can be treated with a mix of mild detergent and white vinegar.
Comforters aren’t cheap, and regular cleaning helps them last longer and stay comfortable. By following these easy tips, you can enjoy a clean, cozy comforter all year long. But let’s be real—washing comforters at home can be tough, especially if you don’t have the right equipment.
