Can I wash my Comforter?

We don't recommend washing either our Down or Down Alternative Comforter at home, as domestic washers aren't large enough to handle our Comforters and machines with agitators can damage the baffle system in them. Plus, once a Comforter is wet it gets very heavy and pulling it from the machine can also damage the baffle system.

 

The best maintenance for Down is to be hung outside on a dry day any season and then shake the dust out of it, but you can also use the dryer on air fluff / no heat. For spills or stains, they can be spot cleaned with soft soap like Zero or Woolite. They can be dry cleaned for large stains if the first two methods don't help. However dry cleaning will shorten the life-span of the Comforter as the chemicals remove the natural oils in the down and the clusters will breakdown faster.

 

The best way to clean our Down Alternative Comforters is to follow the same steps as above (hanging the comforter outside, and spot cleaning with Zero or Woolite). The main difference is that Down Alternative can be dry cleaned as often as necessary.
