How do you wash heavy bedding?

Because it seems so difficult, many people put off washing heavy bedding. It is actually as simple as washing regular laundry, and maybe even easier because there are fewer things to wash. These are the steps you need to follow to wash heavy bedding.

How to wash heavy bedding

1. Use the Correct Size Washer

Bedding should be washed in the right size washer. A washer that is too small can cause the bedding to not get washed properly, and could even damage your washer.

A large washer is required if you have a California King or King-sized bed. Otherwise, it will be necessary to take the washing machine to the laundromat. It’s important to measure the dimensions of your bed before you buy a washing machine. This will help avoid trips to the laundromat.

A washer with a capacity of at least 3.8 cubic feet is required to wash a comforter of king size.

#2. Read the Bedding Tags Carefully

Always read the instructions for washing the tag. Large comforts may need to be washed by hand or dry clean only. Follow the below instructions if the bedding can be washed using a standard washer. If not, please refer to the special care instructions.

Please refer to the garment tag for instructions on washing temperature. The following instructions will ensure that your bedding lasts a long time.

#3.Choose the Right Detergent

Always wash your comforter with a gentle detergent that is suitable for it. Avoid detergents that contain bleach as they can cause damage to the comforter’s filling and outer fabric. The top-performing washing machine detergents are Woolite and OxiClean as well as Tide and Cheer.

#4. Select the Correct Washer Cycle

Modern washing machines come with a “bulky bedding cycle”. This is the best option if your machine has a bed cycle. A heavy load setting is the best choice if your machine doesn’t have a bedding cycle. The machine will be able to clean all bedding if it is set at a heavy load setting.

#5. Choose the Best Dry Cycle and Dry Time

Use a large-capacity dryer with the lowest heat setting to dry bulky bedding or comforter. To avoid burning the fabric, dry your bedding slowly. For best results, two drying cycles may be necessary.

Bulky bedding can often get “wet pockets”, so fluff your bedding halfway through the cycle to prevent wrinkles and wet spots. To fluff the bedding, add tennis balls or dryer balls.

#6. Remove Wrinkles

To smoothen wrinkles in your bedding, you can use a steam iron to dry it. Make sure you read the label before ironing your bedding. Some comforters and sheets don’t like ironing.
