Comforter Care

Spring is here and it is time to store the comforters until the fall. Before you bag them up, don't forget to spot clean and air them out.

Take a few minutes for each one to check the seams for any holes to be mended. Then check for any spots that may need to be cleaned.

When you are ready to store them, don't! Hang them out in the sun for a few hours. If you don't have a line, lay over some lawn furnature to allow air to ciruclate.

When you are ready to store, grab a large garbage bag for each one, some duct tape and the vacume cleaner.

Place the comforter in the garbage bag. Using the attachment hose from the vacume cleaner insert it into the bag and gently bunch the bag around the nozzle.

Turn on the vacume cleaner to remove most of the air from the bag. Gently pull the hose out and twist the bag closed. Fold the twist in half to secure tightly and duct tape closed.

Fold and place into an extra pillow case and it should stay compacted until you need it again!
