Here are some effective ways to help you wash your quilt even if it is too big for the washing machine:
- Cleaning stains: Before you wash your comforter, check it for stains. Use stain removers to pretreat them and increase the chances of successful removal.
- Hand wash: If the quilt is too big for the washing machine, hand washing is the best choice. Fill a tub with cold water, add detergent, mix thoroughly and soak the blanket for 30 minutes. Then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Or you can use a handheld "washing machine", which we wrote about earlier.
Before hanging up the blanket to dry, shake the filler to avoid lumps. After that, unfold the blanket and hang it up to air dry. It's best to do this in the sun to avoid mold growth.
With these simple tips, you can easily and effectively clean your down comforter even at home.
