[quote=Anonymous]More comforter tips: Most comforters should have a cover, which is much easier to clean and, like a pillow protector, helps shield allergy sufferers from a buildup of dust and dirt. It also guards against oils that can break down fabric and eventually cause filling to leak. Decorative comforters, which come in a variety of colors and styles, do not require covers. Comorter covers should be washed weekly (monthly if you use a top sheet), but you won't have to wash the comforter itself unless you spill something on it. (Wash a decorative comforter as frequently as you would a comforter cover.) When it's necessary, launder comforters following the label's instructions. If your washing machine can't handle a bulky comforter, take it to a Laundromat, which will have industrial-size machines. Or take it to a professional cleaner: Make sure down is wet-cleaned, or dry-cleaned using organic solutions that don't have harsh chemicals. To remove moisture, which could lead to mold and mildew, thoroughly dry all comforters -- most should be machine-dried, but check the label. Store your comforter folded in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and light. A linen or canvas storage bag will allow it to breathe; avoid plastic, which prevents air circulation. To reduce odor buildup, hang your comforter on a clothesline on a dry, breezy day every few months. You can fluff your comforter in the dryer, just as you would a pillow.[/quote]
