Cleaning a comforter can seem like an insurmountable challenge, especially if the washing machine won’t take it in. But don’t despair, here are some tips that will make your life easier:
Always check the washing label first. If your comforter is made of natural fibers, it’s best to wash it by hand or take it to the laundromat. The same recommendations apply to synthetic fiber duvets.
When the washing machine is not an option, your bathroom becomes your ally. Here’s a simple method: Soak your comforter in a bathtub containing hot water, two tablespoons of baking soda, one tablespoon of vinegar, and a few bars of Marseille soap. Be sure to rinse the duvet well to avoid product residue.
If you simply want to freshen up your comforter, opt for dry cleaning. Prepare a solution by mixing 25 drops of tea tree essential oil, 10 drops of eucalyptus essential oil, and three tablespoons of baking soda in half a liter of water. Spray this solution onto your duvet, leave it for 20 minutes and then gently brush it off with a suitable brush.
With these simple tips you will have a clean, fresh duvet in no time and without any effort. So don’t let the challenges of cleaning discourage you. With the right methods, you can keep your bedding as clean as it is comfortable.
