Care Instructions for Organic Textiles Comforters

Your comforter is designed to provide natural comfort and long-lasting performance. Because each material has unique qualities, it requires specific care. Please review the appropriate instructions below for your comforter type.


Wool Comforters

Wool is a natural fiber with excellent temperature-regulating qualities. Handle with care to maintain its shape and performance.

  • Washing Frequency: Wash every 2–6 months; no need to wash for the first 2 months if using a duvet cover.

  • Protection: Always use a duvet cover (organic cotton is best).

  • Washing: Most wool comforters are not washable. If labeled washable, use a large-capacity washer, delicate cycle, and biodegradable detergent. Avoid slow-spin cycles.

  • Drying: Line dry or air dry thoroughly. Once dry, tumble on low to fluff. Extended drying time is essential since inner layers retain moisture.

  • Spot Cleaning: Use hydrogen peroxide for stains. Apply, let dry, and repeat until stain lifts.

⚠️ Do not bleach. Do not use high heat. Do not dry clean unless the label specifies.


Cotton Comforters

Organic cotton comforters are durable, breathable, and relatively easy to care for.

  • Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild, non-chlorine detergent. Wash separately to avoid abrasion.

  • Drying: Tumble dry low or line dry. Remove while slightly damp to prevent wrinkles.

  • Spot Cleaning: For small stains, blot with diluted detergent and water.

  • Protection: Always use a duvet cover to reduce the need for frequent washing.


Bamboo-Tencel Comforters

Bamboo-Tencel blends are soft, silky, and highly breathable. They require gentle care to preserve their fibers.

  • Washing: Machine wash in cold water, gentle cycle, with mild detergent.

  • Drying: Line dry or tumble dry low. Avoid high heat, which can weaken fibers.

  • Special Note: Wash separately from rough fabrics (like denim or towels) to prevent pilling.

  • Protection: A duvet cover is recommended for longevity.


Bamboo-Organic Cotton Comforters

This blend combines durability with silky softness. Care is similar to cotton but with added attention to preserving bamboo fibers.

  • Washing: Cold water, gentle cycle, mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners.

  • Drying: Low heat tumble or line dry. Do not over-dry.

  • Spot Cleaning: Use mild soap and water; avoid harsh scrubbing.

  • Protection: Use a duvet cover to minimize wear.


Down Alternative Comforters

Made with hypoallergenic fill, down alternatives are designed for easy care.

  • Washing: Machine wash in cold or warm water on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent. Wash with like items or alone in a large-capacity washer.

  • Drying: Tumble dry on low with dryer balls or clean tennis balls to maintain loft. Ensure the comforter is completely dry before storing.

  • Spot Cleaning: Use mild soap and water for stains.

  • Protection: Use a duvet cover to reduce washing frequency.


Real Down Comforters

Down requires delicate handling to maintain its loft and insulating properties.

  • Washing: Wash only when necessary, ideally once or twice a year. Use a front-loading large-capacity washer, cold water, and mild down-specific detergent.

  • Drying: Tumble dry on low with dryer balls/tennis balls to prevent clumping. Expect extended drying time—check repeatedly to ensure the down inside is completely dry.

  • Spot Cleaning: Blot with mild detergent and water.

  • Protection: Always use a duvet cover to minimize direct washing.

⚠️ Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Improper washing or drying may damage the down fill.


General Tip for All Comforters: Always read and follow the care label on your product. Using a duvet cover is the best way to extend the life of your comforter, reduce washing frequency, and preserve softness and loft.
