Down Comforter: How to Wash a Down Comforter
Have you ever wondered if you can actually wash a goose down comforter in a washing machine? If so, here's your answer! Watch video instructions.
Of course, success depends upon a lot of things such as quality of your washable down comforter, type of washing machine you use, how well you dry your down bedding and type of detergent you use.
However, yes, it is possible to successfully clean a down comforter in a washing machine without having to have it dry cleaned.
- Quality - The better quality your comforter, the better they hold up when cleaned. The best down comforter, covered with high quality cotton covers and stitched in a baffle box design tends is a better quality goose down bedding product. Low quality products such as colored down comforters, are usually not good choices for washable bedding.
- Washing machine - As you'll see in the video, in order to properly wash a down comforter, you will need to use a commercial size washing machine. Most likely, you'll need to go to your local laundrymat to do the washing, since they have commerical size washers that simply spin and do not agitate when washing.
- Detergent - A very mild detergent, applied very sparingly is best.
- Drying - Again, as you'll watch in the video, it's best to use tennis balls along with your comforter in a large dryer. This will fluff the fill and keep it from clumping and not drying as it should.
