How to Care for Your Down Comforter

A quality down comforter can surround you with cozy comfort of years, as long as you give it a little care.

The cover of a down comforter is what requires the most care. The cover protects the comforter from stains, as well as absorbing any perspiration you emit during the night. Care of the cover is simple, just remove it and throw it in your washing machine. It is wise to read the care instructions printed on the label of your comforter. You can usually use warm water and a mild soap to remove any small stains that appear on your comforter. The small area can be dried using your hand held hair dryer on the low setting. You comforter can be used a long time between cleanings as long as there is not spills or stains that penetrate through the cover. When it does come time to clean your comforter your best bet is to use a professional dry cleaner.

Daily care of your down comforter
You should shake out your comforter on a regular basis. To allow the down in your comforter to fluff up and redistribute itself evenly through the entire blanket we recommend that it be stored in an open, airy place that is not in direct sunlight. One of the great qualities of down is that you can restore the loft with a simple shake.

Down needs to be kept completely dry to ensure that the comforter gives you proper insulation. Keeping your down moisture free and clean will help keep you cozy and comfortable each night.
