Washing Down ComforterWhen it's time for cleaning mattresses and bedding, always remember to check manufacturer's care labels first. In many cases, the label on a comforter will recommend dry cleaning. If this is the case, don't throw the comforter into the washing machine. If your comforter can be washed in the machine, use a gentle cycle, a mild detergent and distribute the comforter evenly around the agitator. Dry the comforter in the dryer using a clean pair of sneakers and a couple of dryer sheets to keep it smelling fresh.Comments8/2/2006 3:35:17 PMChloe Hall said: Is there a certain reason you should use a clean pair of sneakers 2/21/2007 9:10:14 AM Sandra said: The sneakers help to bounce to comforter around so it the filling doesnt bunch up. I use two or three tennis balls, or you can buy dryer balls in the laundry section of any mass market store. 2/21/2007 9:24:24 AM Rich said: I would assume the purpose of using sneakers is to lift and separate, much like a Dryer Ball would do with your laundry. Sneakers would be larger though, so might be good for something as large as a comforter. Making sure to use "clean" sneakers (along with dryer sheets) is just an added bonus to avoid making the comforter smell like feet. 2/21/2007 3:59:52 PM Tana Warner said: The sneakers help keep the comforter from bunching up, so it dries faster as well as keeping the down fluffy.
